Hi Marcello, this is not possible with v1 of Veeam Backup for AWS so you would have to leverage the Veeam Agent for Windows within your Windows EC2 instance to create this.

Hi @marcello.gambetti,

Veeam Backup for AWS v2 released about 1 month ago. It includes the ability to do app-aware snapshots by leveraging AWS's Systems Manager agent.
