dict
[REQUIRED]
The body of a backup plan. Includes a BackupPlanName and one or more sets of Rules.
BackupPlanName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The display name of a backup plan. Must contain 1 to 50 alphanumeric or '-_.' characters.
Rules (list) -- [REQUIRED]
An array of BackupRule objects, each of which specifies a scheduled task that is used to back up a selection of resources.
(dict) --
Specifies a scheduled task used to back up a selection of resources.
RuleName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
A display name for a backup rule. Must contain 1 to 50 alphanumeric or '-_.' characters.
TargetBackupVaultName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of a logical container where backups are stored. Backup vaults are identified by names that are unique to the account used to create them and the Amazon Web Services Region where they are created.
ScheduleExpression (string) --
A CRON expression in UTC specifying when Backup initiates a backup job.
StartWindowMinutes (integer) --
A value in minutes after a backup is scheduled before a job will be canceled if it doesn't start successfully. This value is optional. If this value is included, it must be at least 60 minutes to avoid errors.
This parameter has a maximum value of 100 years (52,560,000 minutes).
During the start window, the backup job status remains in CREATED status until it has successfully begun or until the start window time has run out. If within the start window time Backup receives an error that allows the job to be retried, Backup will automatically retry to begin the job at least every 10 minutes until the backup successfully begins (the job status changes to RUNNING) or until the job status changes to EXPIRED (which is expected to occur when the start window time is over).
CompletionWindowMinutes (integer) --
A value in minutes after a backup job is successfully started before it must be completed or it will be canceled by Backup. This value is optional.
Lifecycle (dict) --
The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup will transition and expire 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 “retention” 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 storage.
Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
This parameter has a maximum value of 100 years (36,500 days).
MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
DeleteAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.
OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources (boolean) --
If the value is true, your backup plan transitions supported resources to archive (cold) storage tier in accordance with your lifecycle settings.
RecoveryPointTags (dict) --
The tags to assign to the resources.
(string) --
(string) --
CopyActions (list) --
An array of CopyAction objects, which contains the details of the copy operation.
(dict) --
The details of the copy operation.
Lifecycle (dict) --
Specifies the time period, in days, before a recovery point transitions to cold storage or is deleted.
Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, on the console, the retention setting must be 90 days greater than the transition to cold after days setting. The transition to cold after days setting can't be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.
Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
To remove the existing lifecycle and retention periods and keep your recovery points indefinitely, specify -1 for MoveToColdStorageAfterDays and DeleteAfterDays.
MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
DeleteAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.
OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources (boolean) --
If the value is true, your backup plan transitions supported resources to archive (cold) storage tier in accordance with your lifecycle settings.
DestinationBackupVaultArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the destination backup vault for the copied backup. For example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:backup-vault:aBackupVault.
EnableContinuousBackup (boolean) --
Specifies whether Backup creates continuous backups. True causes Backup to create continuous backups capable of point-in-time restore (PITR). False (or not specified) causes Backup to create snapshot backups.
ScheduleExpressionTimezone (string) --
The timezone in which the schedule expression is set. By default, ScheduleExpressions are in UTC. You can modify this to a specified timezone.
IndexActions (list) --
There can up to one IndexAction in each BackupRule, as each backup can have 0 or 1 backup index associated with it.
Within the array is ResourceTypes. Only 1 resource type will be accepted for each BackupRule. Valid values:
EBS for Amazon Elastic Block Store
S3 for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)

Valid values:
EBS for Amazon Elastic Block Store
S3 for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
(string) --
AdvancedBackupSettings (list) --
Specifies a list of BackupOptions for each resource type. These settings are only available for Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) backup jobs.
(dict) --
The backup options for each resource type.
ResourceType (string) --
Specifies an object containing resource type and backup options. The only supported resource type is Amazon EC2 instances with Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). For a CloudFormation example, see the sample CloudFormation template to enable Windows VSS in the Backup User Guide.

SourceBackupVaultArn (string) --
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the source vault where the resource was originally backed up in; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:backup-vault:aBackupVault. If the recovery is restored to the same Amazon Web Services account or Region, this value will be null.
ResourceArn (string) --
An ARN that uniquely identifies a saved resource. The format of the ARN depends on the resource type.
ResourceType (string) --
The type of Amazon Web Services resource to save as a recovery point; for example, an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume or an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) database.
CreatedBy (dict) --
Contains identifying information about the creation of a recovery point, including the BackupPlanArn, BackupPlanId, BackupPlanVersion, and BackupRuleId of the backup plan used to create it.
BackupPlanId (string) --
Uniquely identifies a backup plan.
BackupPlanArn (string) --
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a backup plan; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:plan:8F81F553-3A74-4A3F-B93D-B3360DC80C50.
BackupPlanVersion (string) --
Version IDs are unique, randomly generated, Unicode, UTF-8 encoded strings that are at most 1,024 bytes long. They cannot be edited.
BackupRuleId (string) --
Uniquely identifies a rule used to schedule the backup of a selection of resources.
IamRoleArn (string) --
Specifies the IAM role ARN used to create the target recovery point; for example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/S3Access.
Status (string) --
A status code specifying the state of the recovery point.
PARTIAL status indicates Backup could not create the recovery point before the backup window closed. To increase your backup plan window using the API, see UpdateBackupPlan. You can also increase your backup plan window using the Console by choosing and editing your backup plan.
EXPIRED status indicates that the recovery point has exceeded its retention period, but Backup lacks permission or is otherwise unable to delete it. To manually delete these recovery points, see Step 3: Delete the recovery points in the Clean up resources section of Getting started.
STOPPED status occurs on a continuous backup where a user has taken some action that causes the continuous backup to be disabled. This can be caused by the removal of permissions, turning off versioning, turning off events being sent to EventBridge, or disabling the EventBridge rules that are put in place by Backup. For recovery points of Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Aurora resources, this status occurs when the retention period of a continuous backup rule is changed.
To resolve STOPPED status, ensure that all requested permissions are in place and that versioning is enabled on the S3 bucket. Once these conditions are met, the next instance of a backup rule running will result in a new continuous recovery point being created. The recovery points with STOPPED status do not need to be deleted.
For SAP HANA on Amazon EC2 STOPPED status occurs due to user action, application misconfiguration, or backup failure. To ensure that future continuous backups succeed, refer to the recovery point status and check SAP HANA for details.
StatusMessage (string) --
A status message explaining the status of the recovery point.
CreationDate (datetime) --
The date and time that a recovery point is created, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of CreationDate is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.
CompletionDate (datetime) --
The date and time that a job to create a recovery point is completed, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of CompletionDate is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.
BackupSizeInBytes (integer) --
The size, in bytes, of a backup.
CalculatedLifecycle (dict) --

MoveToColdStorageAt (datetime) --
A timestamp that specifies when to transition a recovery point to cold storage.
DeleteAt (datetime) --
A timestamp that specifies when to delete a recovery point.
Lifecycle (dict) --
The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup transitions and expires backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.
Backups that are transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, the “retention” 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.
Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
DeleteAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.
OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources (boolean) --
If the value is true, your backup plan transitions supported resources to archive (cold) storage tier in accordance with your lifecycle settings.
EncryptionKeyArn (string) --
The server-side encryption key 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.

The name of a logical container where backups are stored. Backup vaults are identified by names that are unique to the account used to create them and the Amazon Web Services Region where they are created.
ScheduleExpression (string) --
A cron expression in UTC specifying when Backup initiates a backup job. For more information about Amazon Web Services cron expressions, see Schedule Expressions for Rules in the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide.. Two examples of Amazon Web Services cron expressions are 15 * ? * * * (take a backup every hour at 15 minutes past the hour) and 0 12 * * ? * (take a backup every day at 12 noon UTC). For a table of examples, click the preceding link and scroll down the page.
StartWindowMinutes (integer) --
A value in minutes after a backup is scheduled before a job will be canceled if it doesn't start successfully. This value is optional. If this value is included, it must be at least 60 minutes to avoid errors.
During the start window, the backup job status remains in CREATED status until it has successfully begun or until the start window time has run out. If within the start window time Backup receives an error that allows the job to be retried, Backup will automatically retry to begin the job at least every 10 minutes until the backup successfully begins (the job status changes to RUNNING) or until the job status changes to EXPIRED (which is expected to occur when the start window time is over).
CompletionWindowMinutes (integer) --
A value in minutes after a backup job is successfully started before it must be completed or it will be canceled by Backup. This value is optional.
Lifecycle (dict) --
The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. 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 “retention” 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.
Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
DeleteAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.

The details of the copy operation.
Lifecycle (dict) --
Specifies the time period, in days, before a recovery point transitions to cold storage or is deleted.
Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, on the console, the retention setting must be 90 days greater than the transition to cold after days setting. The transition to cold after days setting can't be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.
Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
To remove the existing lifecycle and retention periods and keep your recovery points indefinitely, specify -1 for MoveToColdStorageAfterDays and DeleteAfterDays.
MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) --
The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
