Veeam Data Cloud for AWS supports restoring Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file systems. However, before you start a restore operation, it is recommended that you use the Amazon FSx Active Directory Validation tool to check the connection between the file systems that you plan to restore and the Microsoft Active Directories to which these file systems will be joined. To learn how to use the validation tool, see AWS Documentation.
Veeam Data Cloud for AWS does not support restoring Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file systems that use AWS Secrets Manager to store service account credentials when joined to a self-managed Microsoft Active Directory (AD).
