How to Resolve Manually
This Config Rule will only check your FSx Resources with a particular tag- in this case by default we search for resources with the Tag Key "Environment" and Tag Value "Production". This of course can be changed if desired in the StackZone Console when enabling this rule. Any FSx Resource without the chosen tag key and value will be ignored by this particular Config Rule. This rule will be marked as non-compliant if any properly tagged resource is found not being part of an AWS backup plan.
To resolve this, you need to include all the non-compliant file systems found by the rule in a Backup Plan. To create the backup plan go to AWS Backup service within AWS Console.
Once there, locate and click on Backup plans in the left menu then click on Create backup plan button. You should select the options based on your needs, although we recommend you to select a pre-built template, and indicate a plan name. Use the following picture as reference:
You will also need to add a backup rule according to your organization needs. Once those settings are defined, click on Create plan button.
In the next screen, you will be prompted to assign resources to the plan, this means indicate the FSx File Systems you want to be covered by the plan.
To do this, define a name for the resource assignment and pick the file systems you want. You can select specific resources or add all of them at once. Check the following screenshot as an example:
After completing this last step, your FSx File Systems will be part of a Backup plan and AWS Backup will generate Snapshots according to your Backup rule configuration.
