To use the Virtual Server Agent with Amazon, you must create a virtualization client for the AWS account. If you have multiple AWS accounts, you must create a different virtualization client for each one.
Creating the virtualization client automatically creates a default backup set and default subclient.
You can back up virtual machines using the default subclient or create a new subclient to protect a specific subset of virtual machines.
For IntelliSnap support, you must enable IntelliSnap for the virtualization client and any subclients that are used for IntelliSnap backups:
-
For virtualization clients created in SP4 or later, creating a virtualization client automatically enables IntelliSnap for the client and configures Amazon as a storage array for IntelliSnap. You must enable IntelliSnap on a subclient to perform IntelliSnap backups for that subclient.
-
For an Amazon client created prior to Service Pack 4, enabling IntelliSnap for the client triggers Amazon array configuration.
