2021/03/10 - AWS Backup - 1 new 5 updated api methods
Changes Added support for enabling continuous backups.
Deletes the specified continuous backup recovery point from AWS Backup and releases control of that continuous backup to the source service, such as Amazon RDS. The source service will continue to create and retain continuous backups using the lifecycle that you specified in your original backup plan.
Does not support snapshot backup recovery points.

(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 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.
Only Amazon EFS file system backups can be transitioned to cold storage.

string
[REQUIRED]
Uniquely identifies a backup plan.
dict
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the body of a backup plan. Includes a BackupPlanName and one or more sets of Rules .
BackupPlanName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
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.
Only Amazon EFS file system backups can be transitioned to cold storage.
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.
Only Amazon EFS file system backups can be transitioned to cold storage.
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 .
EnableContinuousBackup (boolean) --
Specifies whether AWS Backup creates continuous backups. True causes AWS Backup to create continuous backups capable of point-in-time restore (PITR). False (or not specified) causes AWS Backup to create snapshot backups.
AdvancedBackupSettings (list) --
Specifies a list of BackupOptions for each resource type. These settings are only available for Windows VSS backup jobs.
(dict) --
A list of 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 VSS. For an CloudFormation example, see the sample CloudFormation template to enable Windows VSS in the AWS Backup User Guide .
Valid values: EC2 .
BackupOptions (dict) --
Specifies the backup option for a selected resource. This option is only available for Windows VSS backup jobs.
Valid values:
Set to "WindowsVSS":"enabled" to enable the WindowsVSS backup option and create a VSS Windows backup.
Set to "WindowsVSS":"disabled" to create a regular backup. The WindowsVSS option is not enabled by default.
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 .
