Creating Backup Policies

You can create backup policies in the Veeam Backup for AWS Web UI only. However, to create a backup policy, you must first launch the add policy wizard from the Veeam Backup & Replication console using either of the following options:

• Switch to the Home tab, click Backup Job on the ribbon, navigate to AWS > EC2, RDS or EFS, and select the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance on which you want to create the backup policy.
• Open the Home view, right-click Jobs, navigate to Backup > AWS > EC2, RDS or EFS, and select the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance on which you want to create the backup policy.

Veeam Backup & Replication will open the Add EC2 Policy, Add RDS Policy or Add EFS Policy wizard in a web browser. Complete the wizard as described in the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide, section Creating EC2 Backup Policies, Creating RDS Backup Policies or Creating EFS Backup Policies.
