Configuring Consistent Backup and Restore
In Amazon Web Services, it is possible to set up Consistent Backup and Restore. To do so, perform the following steps:
-
In order to configure consistent backup and restore within SoftNAS StorageCenter, navigate down to
Settings in the left
Storage Administrator pane, and select
Administrator.
-
The
Administrator panel will open. Within the panel, select the
Backup/Restore tab.
-
In the
Backup/Restore Tab, select
Create.
-
A dialog box will appear center screen, requesting verification via your AWS credentials. Enter your credentials. Click
Create when done.
-
A progress bar will appear, notifying you when this step is complete. The backup will be created, defaulting to a name of "DemoPool".
-
Next, open the AWS console, and go to
Snapshots under
Elastic Blockstore in the left
Administration pane.
-
Confirm that your snapshot has been (or is being) created within the AWS Console.
-
Once complete, you have set up Consistent Backup and Restore for AWS.
