# 1  Get Started with N2W

Quickly install N2W, set up your server, and configure your first automated backup.

N2W Backup & Recovery is a powerful tool that's essentially "plug-and-play". It takes about 20 minutes to set up and works in your existing AWS environment. N2W plays well with other platforms for making backup and recovery worry-free. This Quick Start guide will walk you through the core steps to get N2W up and running.

A quick word about passwords before we get going. N2W strongly recommends that you create a strong password for the server. Make sure no one can access it or guess it. Change it regularly. N2W enforces the following password rules:

·         Minimum length of 8 characters.

·         Not a common word or phrase.

·         Not numeric characters only.
