Restoring to Amazon EC2 with Proxy Appliance

Veeam Backup & Replication do below action:

  1. Creates a proxy appliance(Linux-based) in Amazon EC2. (Veeam -ssh-> proxy appliance)
  2. For every disk of a backed-up machine, it creates an empty EBS volume in Amazon EC2.
  3. hot-adds empty disks to the proxy appliance and restores backed-up data to the EBS volumes.
  4. It creates a target instance in Amazon EC2.
  5. detaches the EBS volumes from the proxy appliance and attaches them to the target instance.
  6. After the restore process is complete, removes the proxy appliance from Amazon EC2.

好處: 不用 S3 空間及不用 Import
