Protect Assets

Table of Contents

There are two ways of protecting your assets. You can do it either from the Elastio Tenant or through the Elastio CLI.

In order to schedule backups for certain assets in your AWS account enabled with Elastio through the Elastio Tenant, navigate to the Policies page. Alternatively, you can do it through the On Boarding page. For now it is possible to create a Policy for AWS EC2 and AWS EBS.

Protect assets with Policies

A Policy is a way of scheduling Elastio backups and/or scans for certain assets in your AWS account enabled with Elastio. Policies can be created either for specific Assets or for Assets with associated tags. For now it is possible to create a backup and scan Policy for AWS EC2 and AWS EBS, and scan Policy for AWS EC2 / AWS EBS, S3 or EFS.

To learn more about how to create, edit and delete a Policy, see the Policies page instructions.

Protect assets with Elastio CLI
