Overview
This page describes the procedure to Backup an AWS EC2 Instance that has at least one Instance Store Volume. The use case is when you have an AWS EC2 Instance that has some EBS Volumes you would like to Backup, and also at least one Instance Store Volume.
Issue
AWS does not support taking snapshots of Instance Store Volumes.
For that reason Druva CloudRanger does not support backing up Instance Stores Volumes.
Adding the entire EC2 Instance to the list of resources to Backup in the Backup Policy would include the Instance Store in the Backup, which is not supported.
Workaround:
The recommended workaround is to add each EBS volume from the instance to your backup policy individually.
This creates a separate snapshot for each volume, which must then be restored individually.
Refer to the linked guide for detailed steps on creating backup policies and assigning resources.
Please see the official AWS documentation for same workaround.
