UpdateContinuousBackups
enables or disables point in time recovery for the specified table. A successfulUpdateContinuousBackups
call returns the currentContinuousBackupsDescription
. Continuous backups areENABLED
on all tables at table creation. If point in time recovery is enabled,PointInTimeRecoveryStatus
will be set to ENABLED.
Once continuous backups and point in time recovery are enabled, you can restore to any point in time within EarliestRestorableDateTime
and LatestRestorableDateTime
.
LatestRestorableDateTime
is typically 5 minutes before the current time. You can restore your table to any point in time during the last 35 days.

--table-name <value>

[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--table-name
(string)
The name of the table.
--point-in-time-recovery-specification
(structure)
Represents the settings used to enable point in time recovery.
PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled -> (boolean)
Indicates whether point in time recovery is enabled (true) or disabled (false) on the table.
Shorthand Syntax:
PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled=boolean
JSON Syntax:
{
"PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled": true|false
}
--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.

To update continuous backup settings for a DynamoDB table
The following update-continuous-backups
example enables point-in-time recovery for the MusicCollection
table.
aws dynamodb update-continuous-backups \
--table-name MusicCollection \
--point-in-time-recovery-specification PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled=true
Output:
{
"ContinuousBackupsDescription": {
"ContinuousBackupsStatus": "ENABLED",
"PointInTimeRecoveryDescription": {
"PointInTimeRecoveryStatus": "ENABLED",
"EarliestRestorableDateTime": 1576622404.0,
"LatestRestorableDateTime": 1576622404.0
}
}
}
