Planning and Preparation

Before you start using Veeam Plug-in for AWS, consider the following requirements:

• Hardware and software requirements.
• Network ports that must be open to ensure proper communication of solution architecture components.
• AWS services to which backup appliances must have outbound internet access.
• Permissions that must be assigned to accounts used to perform operations started using the Veeam Backup & Replication console.
• IAM permissions that must be assigned to IAM roles or IAM users used to perform operations started using the Web UI.
• Considerations and limitations that should be kept in mind before you deploy backup appliances.
• Sizing and Scalability Guidelines.
