CopyDBSnapshot (updated) Link ΒΆ
Changes (request)
{'PreSignedUrl': 'string', 'SourceRegion': 'string'}

Copies the specified DB snapshot. The source DB snapshot must be in the "available" state.

To copy a DB snapshot from a shared manual DB snapshot, SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier must be the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the shared DB snapshot.

You can not copy an encrypted DB snapshot from another AWS region.

You can copy an encrypted DB snapshot from another AWS region. In that case, the region where you call the CopyDBSnapshot action is the destination region for the encrypted DB snapshot to be copied to. To copy an encrypted DB snapshot from another region, you must provide the following values:

  • KmsKeyId - the AWS Key Management System (KMS) key identifier for the key to use to encrypt the copy of the DB snapshot in the destination region.

  • PreSignedUrl - a URL that contains a Signature Version 4 signed request for the CopyDBSnapshot action to be called in the source region where the DB snapshot will be copied from. The pre-signed URL must be a valid request for the CopyDBSnapshot API action that can be executed in the source region that contains the encrypted DB snapshot to be copied. The pre-signed URL request must contain the following parameter values:

    • KmsKeyId - The KMS key identifier for the key to use to encrypt the copy of the DB snapshot in the destination region. This is the same identifier for both the CopyDBSnapshot action that is called in the destination region, and the action contained in the pre-signed URL.

    • SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier - the DB snapshot identifier for the encrypted snapshot to be copied. This identifier must be in the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format for the source region. For example, if you are copying an encrypted DB snapshot from the us-west-2 region, then your SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier would look like Example: arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:mysql-instance1-snapshot-20161115 .

To learn how to generate a Signature Version 4 signed request, see Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (AWS Signature Version 4) and Signature Version 4 Signing Process.

  • TargetDBSnapshotIdentifier - the identifier for the new copy of the DB snapshot in the destination region.

  • SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier - the DB snapshot identifier for the encrypted snapshot to be copied. This identifier must be in the ARN format for the source region and is the same value as the SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier in the pre-signed URL.

For more information on copying encrypted snapshots from one region to another, see Copying an Encrypted DB Snapshot to Another Region in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Request Syntax

client.copy_db_snapshot(
    SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier='string',
    TargetDBSnapshotIdentifier='string',
    KmsKeyId='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },

)
type SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier

string

param SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier

[REQUIRED]

The identifier for the source DB snapshot.

If you are copying from a shared manual DB snapshot, this must be the ARN of the shared DB snapshot.

You cannot copy an encrypted, shared DB snapshot from one AWS region to another.

Constraints:

  • Must specify a valid system snapshot in the "available" state.

  • If the source snapshot is in the same region as the copy, specify a valid DB snapshot identifier.

  • If the source snapshot is in a different region than the copy, specify a valid DB snapshot ARN. For more information, go to Copying a DB Snapshot.

Example: rds:mydb-2012-04-02-00-01

Example: arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:mysql-instance1-snapshot-20130805

type TargetDBSnapshotIdentifier

string

param TargetDBSnapshotIdentifier

[REQUIRED]

The identifier for the copied snapshot.

Constraints:

  • Cannot be null, empty, or blank

  • Must contain from 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters or hyphens

  • First character must be a letter

  • Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

Example: my-db-snapshot

type KmsKeyId

string

param KmsKeyId

The AWS KMS key ID for an encrypted DB snapshot. The KMS key ID is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN), KMS key identifier, or the KMS key alias for the KMS encryption key.

If you copy an unencrypted DB snapshot and specify a value for the KmsKeyId parameter, Amazon RDS encrypts the target DB snapshot using the specified KMS encryption key.

If you copy an encrypted DB snapshot from your AWS account, you can specify a value for KmsKeyId to encrypt the copy with a new KMS encryption key. If you don't specify a value for KmsKeyId , then the copy of the DB snapshot is encrypted with the same KMS key as the source DB snapshot.

If you copy an encrypted DB snapshot from your AWS account, you can specify a value for KmsKeyId to encrypt the copy with a new KMS encryption key. If you don't specify a value for KmsKeyId , then the copy of the DB snapshot is encrypted with the same KMS key as the source DB snapshot. If you copy an encrypted snapshot to a different AWS region, then you must specify a KMS key for the destination AWS region.

If you copy an encrypted DB snapshot that is shared from another AWS account, then you must specify a value for KmsKeyId .

To copy an encrypted DB snapshot to another region, you must set KmsKeyId to the KMS key ID used to encrypt the copy of the DB snapshot in the destination region. KMS encryption keys are specific to the region that they are created in, and you cannot use encryption keys from one region in another region.

type Tags

list

param Tags

A list of tags.

  • (dict) --

    Metadata assigned to an Amazon RDS resource consisting of a key-value pair.

    • Key (string) --

      A key is the required name of the tag. The string value can be from 1 to 128 Unicode characters in length and cannot be prefixed with "aws:" or "rds:". The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, '_', '.', '/', '=', '+', '-' (Java regex: "^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-]*)$").

    • Value (string) --

      A value is the optional value of the tag. The string value can be from 1 to 256 Unicode characters in length and cannot be prefixed with "aws:" or "rds:". The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, '_', '.', '/', '=', '+', '-' (Java regex: "^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-]*)$").

type CopyTags

boolean

param CopyTags

True to copy all tags from the source DB snapshot to the target DB snapshot; otherwise false. The default is false.

type PreSignedUrl

string

param PreSignedUrl

The URL that contains a Signature Version 4 signed request for the CopyDBSnapshot API action in the AWS region that contains the source DB snapshot to copy. The PreSignedUrl parameter must be used when copying an encrypted DB snapshot from another AWS region.

The pre-signed URL must be a valid request for the CopyDBSnapshot API action that can be executed in the source region that contains the encrypted DB snapshot to be copied. The pre-signed URL request must contain the following parameter values:

  • KmsKeyId - The KMS key identifier for the key to use to encrypt the copy of the DB snapshot in the destination region. This is the same identifier for both the CopyDBSnapshot action that is called in the destination region, and the action contained in the pre-signed URL.

  • SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier - the DB snapshot identifier for the encrypted snapshot to be copied. This identifier must be in the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format for the source region. For example, if you are copying an encrypted DB snapshot from the us-west-2 region, then your SourceDBSnapshotIdentifier would look like Example: arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:mysql-instance1-snapshot-20161115 .

To learn how to generate a Signature Version 4 signed request, see Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (AWS Signature Version 4) and Signature Version 4 Signing Process.

type SourceRegion

string

param SourceRegion

The ID of the region that contains the snapshot to be copied.
