Configuring Access to Amazon S3

In an on-premises environment, to store your backups in Amazon S3, you need a user account. Then, to the user account, you need to assign a policy that has the permissions that are required for Commvault Cloud to access the storage.

Procedure

1. Create an AWS user account, and generate an access key and a secret key for the account.

2. Assign the policy that meets your business requirements:

   • For least privilege access, assign a custom policy using the Amazon_S3.json file.

   • Otherwise, assign the AmazonS3FullAccess policy.
