        • Lifecycle (dict) --

          The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. AWS Backup transitions and expires backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.

          Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, the “expire after days” setting must be 90 days greater than the “transition to cold after days” setting. The “transition to cold after days” setting cannot be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.

          • MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) --

            Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.

          • DeleteAfterDays (integer) --

            Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. Must be greater than MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

        • EncryptionKeyArn (string) --

          The server-side encryption key that is used to protect your backups; for example, arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab .

        • IsEncrypted (boolean) --

          A Boolean value that is returned as TRUE if the specified recovery point is encrypted, or FALSE if the recovery point is not encrypted.

        • LastRestoreTime (datetime) --

          The date and time a recovery point was last restored, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of LastRestoreTime is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.

CreateBackupSelection (new) Link ¶

Creates a JSON document that specifies a set of resources to assign to a backup plan. Resources can be included by specifying patterns for a ListOfTags and selected Resources .

For example, consider the following patterns:

  • Resources: "arn:aws:ec2:region:account-id:volume/volume-id"

  • ConditionKey:"department" ConditionValue:"finance" ConditionType:"StringEquals"

  • ConditionKey:"importance" ConditionValue:"critical" ConditionType:"StringEquals"

Using these patterns would back up all Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are tagged as "department=finance" , "importance=critical" , in addition to an EBS volume with the specified volume Id.

Resources and conditions are additive in that all resources that match the pattern are selected. This shouldn't be confused with a logical AND, where all conditions must match. The matching patterns are logically 'put together using the OR operator. In other words, all patterns that match are selected for backup.
