• To change which AWS volumes get backed up via snapshot creation you must first RDP to EZ01.
  • You must first STOP the EZ_AWS Service from the Administrative Tools Control Panel.  Choose the Services icon.
  • Now navigate to the following directory: C:\program files\Eazyworks\EZ_AWS_Monitor
  • Edit the file named App.xml with your favorite text editor

EZAWSMonitorEditFile

 

  • Copy and paste an existing <vol> XML tag in its entirety.

awsMonCopyPaste

 

  • After pasting the <vol> XML tag you will need to make some edits.  These edits will be done to the following nested XML Tags:
  1. <vol name>, must be unique with the App.xml file
  2. <id>, this volume id is taken from the volume id assigned in the Amazon AWS Management Console
  3. <frequency>,  how many hours between snapshots
  4. <cache>, how many snapshots to keep

  • Now that the edits are completed you can now save the App.xml file.
  • Start the EZ_AWS Service back up and it is now completed.
