# Planning for Protection of Amazon Redshift Clusters with Commvault

To protect Amazon Redshift, begin by selecting the appropriate deployment model — Use hosted infrastructure or Use your access nodes for backup — based on your architectural and operational requirements. Then verify that the necessary prerequisites and permissions are in place before configuring protection and validating the configuration with a test backup and restore.

Use hosted infrastructure

1. Applies only to MSP admin: Complete the Managed Service Provider Configuration for Amazon.

2. Verify Permissions required for Amazon Redshift protection.

3. Configure an Amazon Redshift instance using hosted infrastructure.

   - Your first full backup is automatically scheduled based on the assigned backup plan. To perform a manual backup, see Backing Up a Amazon Redshift Cluster Group.

   - After the backup operation is complete, perform a restore. For more information, see Restoring a Amazon Redshift Cluster.

Use your access nodes for backup

1. Deploying an access node on Amazon EC2.

2. Verify Permissions required for Amazon Redshift protection.

3. Configure an Amazon Redshift instance using a backup gateway.
