AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Creating a Gateway
• AWS Region specifies the AWS Region where your gateway will be activated and where your data
will be stored. If Endpoint type is VPC, the AWS Region should be same as the Region where your
VPC Endpoint is located.
• Gateway time zone specifies the time zone to use for your gateway.
• Gateway name identifies your gateway. You use this name to manage your gateway in the
console; you can change it after the gateway is activated. This name must be unique to your
account.
• Backup application specifies the backup application you want to use. Storage Gateway
automatically chooses a compatible medium changer for your backup application. If your backup
application is not listed, choose Other and choose a medium changer type. Medium changer type
specifies the type of medium changer to use for your backup application.
The type of medium changer you choose depends on the backup application you plan to use.
The following table lists third-party backup applications that have been tested and found to be
compatible with tape gateways. This table includes the medium changer type recommended for
each backup application.
