Create VSS snapshots using Amazon Backup

You can create a VSS backup when using Amazon Backup by enabling VSS in the console or CLI. Ensure that you have met the prerequisites before you create the VSS-enabled backup plan. For more information, see Creating Windows VSS backups in the Amazon Backup Developer Guide.

Note

Amazon Backup doesn’t automatically install the AwsVssComponents package on your instance. You must perform a manual install on your instance. For more information, see Manually install VSS components on an instance.
