IAM Permissions
To perform data protection and disaster recovery operations, you must specify IAM roles whose permissions Veeam Backup for AWS will use to access AWS services and resources.
When you deploy Veeam Backup for AWS, the Default Backup Restore IAM role is automatically created and added to the backup appliance. This IAM role is assigned all permissions required to perform operations in the same AWS account where the backup appliance resides. However, you can manually create additional IAM roles with granular permissions to perform specific operations in this or in other AWS accounts using the AWS Management Console, and then add them to Veeam Backup for AWS.
For more information on IAM roles in Veeam Backup for AWS, see Managing IAM Roles.
