Planning for the protection of Amazon DynamoDB includes verifying that your environment meets the system requirements, reviewing the permission requirements, configuring the instances, and then performing a test backup and a restore.
-
Verify the following about your environment:
-
For access node, you can bring your own access nodes or use hosted infrastructure.
-
Access nodes: Add a Windows or Linux file server as an access node with Virtual Server Agent and cloud apps packages installed. For more information on additional server, see Adding an Additional Server.
-
Hosted infrastructure: If you are a tenant user, you do not need to create an access node. It is handled by MSPs. For more information, see Configuring Backups for Amazon DynamoDB Instances Using the Commvault Cloud Infrastructure.
-
-
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.
-
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.
