Planning for the protection of Amazon Redshift 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 Backup Gateway 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 Redshift Instances Using the Commvault Cloud Infrastructure.

-
Perform Your First 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 Redshift Cluster Group.
-
After the backup operation is complete, perform a restore. For more information, see Restoring a Redshift Cluster.
