        • (dict) --

          Specifies a scheduled task used to back up a selection of resources.

          • RuleName (string) --

            An optional display name for a backup rule.

          • TargetBackupVaultName (string) --

            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) --

            An optional value that specifies a period of time in minutes after a backup is scheduled before a job is canceled if it doesn't start successfully.

          • CompletionWindowMinutes (integer) --

            A value in minutes after a backup job is successfully started before it must be completed or it is 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 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 90 days plus MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

                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 .

      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 .

      A unique string that identifies the request and allows failed requests to be retried without the risk of executing the operation twice.

    • CreationDate (datetime) --

      The date and time that a backup plan 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.

    • DeletionDate (datetime) --

      The date and time that a backup plan is deleted, 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.

type BackupPlanId

string

param BackupPlanId

[REQUIRED]

Uniquely identifies a backup plan.

type BackupPlan

dict

param BackupPlan

[REQUIRED]

Specifies 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.

  • 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) --

        The amount of time in minutes before beginning a backup.

      • CompletionWindowMinutes (integer) --

        The amount of time AWS Backup attempts a backup before canceling the job and returning an error.

      • 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”. 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.

    • CreationDate (datetime) --

      The date and time a backup plan is updated, 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.

    • VersionId (string) --
