2019/01/16 - AWS Backup - 43 new api methods
Changes AWS Backup is a unified backup service designed to protect AWS services and their associated data. AWS Backup simplifies the creation, migration, restoration, and deletion of backups, while also providing reporting and auditing
Returns metadata of your saved backup plans, including Amazon Resource Names (ARNs), plan IDs, creation and deletion dates, version IDs, plan names, and creator request IDs.

Request Syntax
client.list_backup_plans(
NextToken='string',
MaxResults=123,
IncludeDeleted=True|False

string
The next item following a partial list of returned items. For example, if a request is made to return maxResults number of items, NextToken allows you to return more items in your list starting at the location pointed to by the next token.

string
A customer chosen string that can be used to distinguish between calls to StartBackupJob . Idempotency tokens time out after one hour. Therefore, if you call StartBackupJob multiple times with the same idempotency token within one hour, AWS Backup recognizes that you are requesting only one backup job and initiates only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, AWS Backup recognizes that you are requesting to start multiple backups.

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.

DeleteAfterDays (integer) --
Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. Must be greater than MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

CreationDate (datetime) --
The date and time that a backup job is started, 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.
Backup plans are documents that contain information that AWS Backup uses to schedule tasks that create recovery points of resources.
If you call CreateBackupPlan with a plan that already exists, the existing backupPlanId is returned.

(string) --
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.

A customer chosen string that can be used to distinguish between calls to StartRestoreJob . Idempotency tokens time out after one hour. Therefore, if you call StartRestoreJob multiple times with the same idempotency token within one hour, AWS Backup recognizes that you are requesting only one restore job and initiates only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, AWS Backup recognizes that you are requesting to start multiple restores.

RecoveryPointArn (string) --
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a recovery point; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45 .
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 .
CalculatedLifecycle (dict) --
A CalculatedLifecycle object containing DeleteAt and MoveToColdStorageAt timestamps.
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.
Returns detailed information about the recovery points stored in a backup vault.
