AMI is used to create virtual machine in the AWS cloud environment
An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is used to create virtual machine (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or EC2 instances) in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment during restore operation.
For NetBackup Snapshot Manager version 10.4 onwards, following change is applicable for AWS virtual machine protection and recovery: AMI ID used to create AWS virtual machine that is protected is stored with the along with the other info during backup. During VM restore, the AMI recorded during backup would be re-used as default input, the user can replace the default value with valid and compatible AMI ID.
For snapshots/backups taken with NetBackup Snapshot Manager versions prior to 10.4, the user must provide a valid AMI ID which is compatible with the VM being restored since this AMI information was not recorded.
Note:
An AMI parameter input is not required for other cloud providers. Hence it is an optional attribute for pre-recovery and recover cloud NetBackup APIs.
