Creating Backup Policies

When you create a backup policy, Veeam Backup & Replication redirects you to the Veeam Backup for AWS Web UI where you can add a backup policy directly to Veeam Backup for AWS. For more information on the backup policies, see the following sections in the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide:

Note

VPC backup policy is created automatically on the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance. That is why you can only manage this policy: edit, enable and disable. For more information on VPC backup policy, see the Performing VPC Configuration Backup section in the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide.

To create backup policies:

  1. Launch the Add Policy wizard using one of the following instructions:
  • On the Home tab, navigate to Backup Job > AWS and click EC2, RDS or EFS.
  • Open the Home view. In the inventory pane, right-click the Jobs node and select Backup > AWS, then click EC2, RDS or EFS.

If you have several Veeam Backup for AWS appliances added to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, select the necessary appliance under the EC2, RDS or EFS node.

  1. Follow the instructions provided in one of the following sections in the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide:
