Amazon VPC Resources That Commvault Protects

You can recover Amazon EC2 instances and related Amazon VPC resources, without delays.

Specifically, you can back up key VPC resources across regions and accounts, recover deleted resources in minutes, and recover known good Amazon EC2 and Amazon VPC configurations in place.

Before using this capability, verify that the amazon_restricted_role_permissions.json policy is assigned to the IAM user or IAM role that is used to authenticate to the Amazon EC2 hypervisor that contains the VPC resources that you want to protect. For more information, see Requirements and Usage for AWS IAM Policies and Permissions.

Commvault recommends controlling access to AWS resources using tags or TagKeys to further restrict the scope of access for Commvault data protection operations.
