Hi everyone, Has anyone successfully implemented Backup from AMS/EC2? I'm not having much luck. I have a local VMware Nakivo Director appliance targeting an Ubuntu EC2 instance for Backup. I followed these steps: https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Deploying+Transporters+in+Amazon+EC2 When I let the transporter deploy with Automatic settings, I get a new Nakivo VPC which my local Director can reach, but it cannot initiate a backup (I get an error message). However when I create the transporter Manually, the deployment fails partway through with an error that the transporter can't be reached. Since the automatically deployed Transporter was at least reachable from my Director, I've focused on trying to get that working, but I've not had real success. With the separate Nakivo VPC, I tried setting up a VPC Peer and adjusting my routing tables. I can get the AWS Transporter to ping my target EC2 box, but I don't know what else is needed. Has anyone had success with this kind of setup? Essentially...what is "X" below? [VMware Director appliance] ====> (internet) ==== (Nakivo VPC [Nakivo Txport])...X...(Target VPC [target EC2 Ubuntu]) Any help is greatly appreciated! --Mike

Thanks. So please confirm what I am reading. Running "apt update' followed by "apt upgrade" is safe. Running "apt dist-upgrade", "apt full-upgrade, and/or "apt autoremove" is also safe? Running "do-release-upgrade" followed by associated apt commands is NOT safe. Sounds like you covered by 1st and 3rd points, but I'm still a little fuzzy about the second.
