Managing Assigned Backup Policies for Volume Groups (Policy-Based Volume Group Backups)

Schedule automated backups according to the volume group's assigned backup policy. The backup policy assigned to a volume group defines the frequency and schedule for backing up all volumes in the volume group.

Note

For more information about backups, see Policy-Based Backups (Backup Policies).

Applying Tags

Apply tags to resources to help organize them according to your business needs. You can apply tags when you create a resource, and you can update a resource later to add, revise, or remove tags. For general information about applying tags, see Resource Tags.

When a volume backup is created, the source volume's tags are automatically included. This also includes volumes with custom backup policies applied to create scheduled backups. Source volume tags are automatically assigned to all backups when they are created. You can also apply additional tags to volume backups as needed.

When a volume backup is copied to a new region, tags are also automatically copied with the volume backup. When the volume is restored from a backup, the volume is restored with the source volume's tags.
