Enable IntelliSnap backups to use Amazon snapshot capabilities.
Procedure
To enable IntelliSnap support, perform the following tasks:
-
Configure storage as described in Configuring a Cloud Storage. Specify an Amazon instance as the MediaAgent.
-
Add the hypervisor as described in Adding an Amazon Hypervisor.
-
Create a server plan as described in Create a server plan.
-
Create a VM group and select the IntelliSnap option.
Result
When you enable IntelliSnap on a VM group, Commvault automatically creates the following configurations:
-
Schedule policies are created for the primary (snap) and backup copies.
-
The server backup plan associated with the VM group has IntelliSnap enabled and is set to retain eight snap recovery points. (You can modify the server plan to specify a different number of snaps to retain.)
