create-backup

Description

Creates a backup of an existing Amazon FSx file system. Creating regular backups for your file system is a best practice, enabling you to restore a file system from a backup if an issue arises with the original file system.

For Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems, you can create a backup only for file systems with the following configuration:

  • a Persistent deployment type

  • is not linked to a data respository.

For more information about backing up Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems, see Working with FSx for Lustre backups .

For more information about backing up Amazon FSx for Windows file systems, see Working with FSx for Windows backups .

If a backup with the specified client request token exists, and the parameters match, this operation returns the description of the existing backup. If a backup specified client request token exists, and the parameters don’t match, this operation returns IncompatibleParameterError . If a backup with the specified client request token doesn’t exist, CreateBackup does the following:

  • Creates a new Amazon FSx backup with an assigned ID, and an initial lifecycle state of CREATING .

  • Returns the description of the backup.

By using the idempotent operation, you can retry a CreateBackup operation without the risk of creating an extra backup. This approach can be useful when an initial call fails in a way that makes it unclear whether a backup was created. If you use the same client request token and the initial call created a backup, the operation returns a successful result because all the parameters are the same.

The CreateBackup operation returns while the backup’s lifecycle state is still CREATING . You can check the backup creation status by calling the DescribeBackups operation, which returns the backup state along with other information.

If you have set CopyTagsToBackups to true, and you specify one or more tags using the CreateBackup action, no existing file system tags are copied from the file system to the backup.

(structure)

Specifies a key-value pair for a resource tag.

Key -> (string)

A value that specifies the TagKey , the name of the tag. Tag keys must be unique for the resource to which they are attached.

Value -> (string)

A value that specifies the TagValue , the value assigned to the corresponding tag key. Tag values can be null and don’t have to be unique in a tag set. For example, you can have a key-value pair in a tag set of finances : April and also of payroll : April .

    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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.

If you specify one or more tags when creating a user-initiated backup, no tags are copied from the file system, regardless of this value.

Aliases -> (list)

An array of one or more DNS aliases that are currently associated with the Amazon FSx file system. Aliases allow you to use existing DNS names to access the data in your Amazon FSx file system. You can associate up to 50 aliases with a file system at any time. You can associate additional DNS aliases after you create the file system using the AssociateFileSystemAliases operation. You can remove DNS aliases from the file system after it is created using the DisassociateFileSystemAliases operation. You only need to specify the alias name in the request payload. For more information, see DNS aliases .

(structure)

A DNS alias that is associated with the file system. You can use a DNS alias to access a file system using user-defined DNS names, in addition to the default DNS name that Amazon FSx assigns to the file system. For more information, see DNS aliases in the FSx for Windows File Server User Guide .

Name -> (string)

The name of the DNS alias. The alias name has to meet the following requirements:

ExportPath -> (string)

The export path to the Amazon S3 bucket (and prefix) that you are using to store new and changed Lustre file system files in S3.

ImportedFileChunkSize -> (integer)

For files imported from a data repository, this value determines the stripe count and maximum amount of data per file (in MiB) stored on a single physical disk. The maximum number of disks that a single file can be striped across is limited by the total number of disks that make up the file system.

The default chunk size is 1,024 MiB (1 GiB) and can go as high as 512,000 MiB (500 GiB). Amazon S3 objects have a maximum size of 5 TB.

AutoImportPolicy -> (string)

Describes the file system’s linked S3 data repository’s AutoImportPolicy . The AutoImportPolicy configures how Amazon FSx keeps your file and directory listings up to date as you add or modify objects in your linked S3 bucket. AutoImportPolicy can have the following values:

  • NONE - (Default) AutoImport is off. Amazon FSx only updates file and directory listings from the linked S3 bucket when the file system is created. FSx does not update file and directory listings for any new or changed objects after choosing this option.

  • NEW - AutoImport is on. Amazon FSx automatically imports directory listings of any new objects added to the linked S3 bucket that do not currently exist in the FSx file system.

  • NEW_CHANGED - AutoImport is on. Amazon FSx automatically imports file and directory listings of any new objects added to the S3 bucket and any existing objects that are changed in the S3 bucket after you choose this option.

The type of drive cache used by PERSISTENT_1 file systems that are provisioned with HDD storage devices. This parameter is required when storage type is HDD. Set to READ , improve the performance for frequently accessed files and allows 20% of the total storage capacity of the file system to be cached.

This parameter is required when StorageType is set to HDD.

AdministrativeActions -> (list)

A list of administrative actions for the file system that are in process or waiting to be processed. Administrative actions describe changes to the Windows file system that you have initiated using the UpdateFileSystem action.

(structure)

Describes a specific Amazon FSx administrative action for the current Windows or Lustre file system.

AdministrativeActionType -> (string)

Describes the type of administrative action, as follows:

  • FILE_SYSTEM_UPDATE - A file system update administrative action initiated by the user from the Amazon FSx console, API (UpdateFileSystem), or CLI (update-file-system).

  • STORAGE_OPTIMIZATION - Once the FILE_SYSTEM_UPDATE task to increase a file system’s storage capacity completes successfully, a STORAGE_OPTIMIZATION task starts.

    • For Windows, storage optimization is the process of migrating the file system data to the new, larger disks.

    • For Lustre, storage optimization consists of rebalancing the data across the existing and newly added file servers.

You can track the storage optimization progress using the ProgressPercent property. When STORAGE_OPTIMIZATION completes successfully, the parent FILE_SYSTEM_UPDATE action status changes to COMPLETED . For more information, see Managing storage capacity in the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server User Guide and Managing storage and throughput capacity in the Amazon FSx for Lustre User Guide .
