How Backup Works

Veeam Data Cloud for AWS uses the AWS Backup service to create a cloud-native backup of a Redshift cluster, and saves this backup to a backup vault in the same AWS Region in which the source cluster resides. The backup is assigned AWS tags upon creation. Keys and values of AWS tags contain encrypted metadata that helps Veeam Data Cloud for AWS identify the related cluster backup.
