# Planning for Protection of Amazon DynamoDB Instances with Commvault

To protect Amazon DynamoDB, 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 Permission Requirements for Amazon DynamoDB Protection.

3. To enable auto-scaling for DynamoDB instances, see .

4. Configure an Amazon DynamoDB instance using hosted infrastructure.

5. If there is a need to add multiple tables from the same region, consider creating table groups. For more information, see Creating a Table Group.

   - For information on optimizing backup performance, see Optimizing the Backup Performance for a DynamoDB Table Group.

6. Perform a Test Backup and Restore.

   - Your first full backup is automatically scheduled based on the assigned backup plan. To perform a manual backup, see backing up a DynamoDB database instance.

   - After the backup operation is complete, you can perform a restore of one or more tables.

Use your access nodes for backup

1. Deploying an access node on Amazon EC2.

2. Verify Permission Requirements for Amazon DynamoDB Protection.

3. To enable auto-scaling for DynamoDB instances, see .

4. Configure an Amazon DynamoDB instance using a backup gateway

5. If there is a need to add multiple tables from the same region, consider creating table groups. For more information, see Creating a Table Group.

   - For information on optimizing backup performance, see Optimizing the Backup Performance for a DynamoDB Table Group.

6. Perform a Test Backup and Restore.

   - Your first full backup is automatically scheduled based on the assigned backup plan. To perform a manual backup, see backing up a DynamoDB database instance.

   - After the backup operation is complete, you can perform a restore of one or more tables.
