File level recovery in AWS

For file level recovery to be successful in the AWS environment, you require the following:

  • To automate mounting of volumes, SSM must be enabled on the instances that they are attached to. For more information about SSM and how it helps automating in AWS, see AWS SSM.
  • If SSM is enabled in your environment, see CSM SSM requirements for AWS to review the requirements.
  • If SSM is not enabled, Cloud Snapshot Manager can still attach and detach volumes automatically, but the mounting of volumes must be done manually. Mounting of Volumes must also be with read-only permission. For more information, see Manually mount Volumes for file level recovery.
