Getting Started with Amazon EFS Backups Through NAS Client

To get started with Amazon EFS, review the following pages:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/mounting-fs.html

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/limits.html

Procedure

1. Review the Amazon EFS features.

2. Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for Linux file servers.

3. Create an NFS volume for Amazon EFS.

   You can also mount the Amazon EFS share on a Linux computer.

4. Add a NAS file server and configure the backup contents to protect the NFS volume.

   You can also create an NFS subclient for the NAS file server and configure the NFS volume as a path to the subclient content.

   The subclient content can either be a mounted path or auto-mount format. For mounted path content, enter the same path where you mounted the Amazon EFS share on the Linux computer.

5. Perform a backup.

6. Perform a restore.
