Step 5. Specify Network Settings
At the Networking step of the wizard, do the following:
- Choose an Amazon virtual private cloud (VPC) to which the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance will be connected.
You can create a new VPC or specify an existing one:
- To create a new VPC, select the (create new) option from the Amazon VPC drop-down list. Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically create a virtual network with a set of predefined security group rules.
- To specify an existing VPC, select it from the Amazon VPC drop-down list. For a VPC to be displayed in the list of available networks, it must be created in AWS for the region specified at step 3 of the wizard, as described in AWS Documentation.
- Choose a subnet in which the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance will be launched.
You can create a new subnet or specify an existing one:
- To create a new subnet, select the (create new) option from the Subnet drop-down list. Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically create a subnet in the specified VPC.
- To specify an existing subnet, select it from the Subnet drop-down list. For a subnet to be displayed in the list of available subnets, it must be created in the specified VPC as described in AWS Documentation.

Consider the following:

- Choose a security group that will be associated with the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance.
You can create a new security group or specify an existing one:
- To create a new security group, select the (create new) option from the Security group drop-down list. Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically create a group.
- To specify an existing security group, select it from the Security group drop-down list. For a security group to be displayed in the list of available groups, it must be created in AWS as described in AWS Documentation.
Important |
If you select an existing security group, consider that security group rules must allow inbound internet access from both the backup server and a local machine that you plan to use to work with Veeam Backup for AWS. To learn how to create security group rules, see AWS Documentation. |
- [Applies only if you choose to create a new security group] In the Backup server public IP address field, specify an IP address or a range of IP addresses that will be allowed to access the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance. Veeam Backup & Replication will create a security rule for the specified IP addresses. Note that the backup server IP address must fall into the specified IP address range.
Tip |
The IPv4 address ranges must be specified in the CIDR notation (for example, 12.23.34.0/24). To specify multiple IP addresses or multiple IP address ranges, use a comma-separated list. |
