See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  get-backup-plan-from-json
--backup-plan-template-json <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--backup-plan-template-json (string)

A customer-supplied backup plan document in JSON format.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

BackupPlan -> (structure)

Specifies the body of a backup plan. Includes a BackupPlanName and one or more sets of Rules .

BackupPlanName -> (string)

The display name of a backup plan.

Rules -> (list)

An array of BackupRule objects, each of which specifies a scheduled task that is used to back up a selection of resources.

(structure)

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. For more information about cron expressions, see Schedule Expressions for Rules in the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide. . Prior to specifying a value for this parameter, we recommend testing your cron expression using one of the many available cron generator and testing tools.

StartWindowMinutes -> (long)

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 -> (long)

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 -> (structure)

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.

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

MoveToColdStorageAfterDays -> (long)

Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.

DeleteAfterDays -> (long)

Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. Must be greater than 90 days plus MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

RecoveryPointTags -> (map)

An array of key-value pair strings that are assigned to resources that are associated with this rule when restored from backup.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

RuleId -> (string)

Uniquely identifies a rule that is used to schedule the backup of a selection of resources.

CopyActions -> (list)

An array of CopyAction objects, which contains the details of the copy operation.

(structure)

The details of the copy operation.

Lifecycle -> (structure)

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 -> (long)

Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.

DeleteAfterDays -> (long)

Specifies the number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. Must be greater than 90 days plus MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

DestinationBackupVaultArn -> (string)

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)

Contains a list of BackupOptions for each resource type.

(structure)

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 -> (map)

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 .
