# Getting Started with Virtualize Me for Amazon Web Services

To get started with Virtualize Me for Amazon Web Services, install the Windows File System Agent on you computer, create an Amazon EC2 provisioning target, and restore your data.

## Before You Begin

- If your network has firewall topology configured, then create a server group with the network settings required for 1-Touch operations. For more information, see Network Topology.

- If filters are added to the subclient configuration and they filter out operating system components, then the restored machine may encounter operating system issues.

- You cannot perform Virtualize Me operations on synthetic full backups on Linux subclients.

## Procedure

1. Enable the following entity association for the user or user group that needs to perform Virtualize Me operations.

   Task | Permission | Associated CommCell Entities
   --- | --- | ---
   Perform a Virtualize Me operation | Administrative management Browse End User Access Out-of-place Recover In Place Recover Install Package/Update or Install Client Agent Management Overwrite on Restore Change security settings Note: To perform job operations such as kill, suspend, or resume, the user must have Job Management capabilities at the CommCell level, as Virtualize Me (vME) jobs are treated as administrative-level operations. | Clients and Client Computer Groups where you installed the Windows or Linux File System Agent.

2. Verify that your computer meets the system requirements of Virtualize Me for Amazon Web Services.

3. Install the Windows File System package on the computer.

4. Verify that system state backup is enabled for the default subclient and that the subclient backup content is defined as All or /.

   To exclude contents, use global or subclient filters.

   In case system state backup is currently disabled for your default subclient, see Configuring System State and 1-Touch Backups for Subclients.

   Perform a system state backup.

5. Create an Amazon EC2 provisioning target.

   Note

   Enable the AwsSkipAmisWithTpmSupport on the EC2 provisioning target access node to prevent boot failures caused by secure boot certificate mismatches during AWS UEFI restore operations.

6. Perform a Virtualize Me operation. Restore your data by converting the client computer to an Amazon EC2 instance.
