Repository IAM Permissions
To allow Veeam Backup for AWS to create backup repositories in Amazon S3 buckets and to access the repository when performing backup and restore operations, IAM roles specified in the repository settings must meet the following requirements:
- The backup appliance must be granted permissions to assume the IAM roles. For more information on the requirements for adding IAM roles, see Before You Begin.
- The Amazon S3 Batch Operations service must be granted permissions to assume the IAM roles.
To allow the AWS service to assume an IAM role, configure trust relationships for the role and add the following statement to the trust policy:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "sts:AssumeRole", "Principal": { "Service": "batchoperations.s3.amazonaws.com" } } ] } |
To learn how to modify role trust policies, see AWS Documentation.
- The IAM roles must be granted the following permissions:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:DescribeRegions", "ec2:DescribeVpcEndpoints", "iam:GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy", "iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:PassRole", "iam:ListAccountAliases", "kms:ListKeys", "kms:ListAliases", "kms:DescribeKey", "kms:Encrypt", "kms:Decrypt", "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "s3:CreateJob", "s3:DescribeJob", "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:RestoreObject", "s3:GetObjectRetention", "s3:PutObjectRetention", "s3:GetObjectVersion", "s3:DeleteObjectVersion", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:ListBucketVersions", "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:GetBucketVersioning", "s3:GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } |
