Getting started

To get started with Clumio Protect to back up Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon Neptune clusters, review the following requirements and information. 

Considerations

• Clumio offers the following types of DocumentDB and Neptune backups to help protect the data in your DocumentDB and Neptune resources: 

  • DocumentDB/Neptune SecureVault Standard tier backups for operational recovery

• Clumio does not support SecureVault Archive tier backups for DocumentDB and Neptune.

• Clumio does not support Backup destination regions for DocumentDB or Neptune that are not supported by Amazon.

• Clumio makes use of DocumentDB and Neptune manual snapshots while backing up DocumentDB and Neptune databases. To ensure successful backups, verify that you have sufficient DocumentDB or Neptune manual snapshot limits (AWS service quotas) available in your AWS account.

Requirements

• You must have permission to create and update a CloudFormation/Terraform template. For more information, see IAM permissions required to deploy the Clumio service.

Procedure

Connect your AWS account

• Connect your AWS account and regions that contain your DocumentDB or Neptune clusters to start protecting them using Clumio. For more information, see Account connection.

Create DocumentDB or Neptune backup policy and protection rules

1. Create a policy, which defines when a snapshot or backup of your DocumentDB or Neptune clusters should be generated, and how long the snapshot or backup data should be retained.

   For more information, see Backup Policies.

2. Create a protection rule to apply the policy you just created to your DocumentDB or Neptune resources based on tags and accross accounts and regions.

   For more information, see AWS Protection Rules.
