2020/09/23 - AWS Backup - 10 updated api methods
Changes Update backup client to latest version
{'BackupPlan': {'AdvancedBackupSettings': [{'BackupOptions': {'string': 'string'},
'ResourceType': 'string'}]}}
Response {'AdvancedBackupSettings': [{'BackupOptions': {'string': 'string'},
'ResourceType': 'string'}]}
Creates a backup plan using a backup plan name and backup rules. A backup plan is a document that contains information that AWS Backup uses to schedule tasks that create recovery points for resources.
If you call CreateBackupPlan with a plan that already exists, an AlreadyExistsException is returned.

The optional display name of a backup plan.
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]
An optional display name for a backup rule.
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 AWS Region where they are created. They consist of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
ScheduleExpression (string) --
A CRON expression specifying when AWS 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.
CompletionWindowMinutes (integer) --
A value in minutes after a backup job is successfully started before it must be completed or it will be canceled by AWS Backup. This value is optional.
Lifecycle (dict) --
The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. AWS 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 “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 90 days plus MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.
RecoveryPointTags (dict) --
To help organize your resources, you can assign your own metadata to the resources that you create. Each tag is a key-value pair.
(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) --
Contains an array of Transition objects specifying how long 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 “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 90 days plus MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.
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:vault:aBackupVault.
AdvancedBackupSettings (list) --
Specifies a list of BackupOptions for each resource type. These settings are only available for Windows VSS backup jobs.
(dict) --

ResourceType (string) --
The type of AWS resource to be backed up. For VSS Windows backups, the only supported resource type is Amazon EC2.

Specifies the backup option for a selected resource. This option is only available for Windows VSS backup jobs.
Valid value: "WindowsVSS”:“enabled". If enabled, creates a VSS Windows backup; otherwise, creates a regular backup.
If you specify an invalid option, you get an InvalidParameterValueException exception.
For more information about Windows VSS backups, see Creating a VSS-Enabled Windows Backup.

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.

The details of the copy operation.
Lifecycle (dict) --
Contains an array of Transition objects specifying how long 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 “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.
