Performing Entire File System Restore

In case of a disaster, you can restore an entire EFS file system from a cloud-native backup. Veeam Data Cloud for AWS allows you to restore one or more EFS file systems at a time, to the original location or to a new location.

To restore a protected EFS file system, do the following:

  1. Launch the EFS Restore wizard.
  2. Select a restore point.
  3. Specify account for restore.
  4. Choose a restore mode.
  5. Enable encryption for the restored file system.
  6. Specify file system settings.
  7. Configure network settings.
  8. Specify a restore reason.
  9. Finish working with the wizard.

How File System Restore Works

To restore an EFS file system from a backup, Veeam Data Cloud for AWS performs the following steps using native AWS capabilities:

  1. Creates a file system in the specified location.
  2. Modifies the configuration setting values of the created EFS file system.
  3. Restores backed-up files and folders to the restored file system.

Important

Veeam Data Cloud for AWS supports restoring EFS file systems only to the same AWS accounts to which the source file system belong.
