start-export-task

Description

Starts an export of DB snapshot or DB cluster data to Amazon S3. The provided IAM role must have access to the S3 bucket.

You can’t export snapshot data from Db2 or RDS Custom DB instances.

For more information on exporting DB snapshot data, see Exporting DB snapshot data to Amazon S3 in the Amazon RDS User Guide or Exporting DB cluster snapshot data to Amazon S3 in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

For more information on exporting DB cluster data, see Exporting DB cluster data to Amazon S3 in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

Options

--export-task-identifier (string)

A unique identifier for the export task. This ID isn’t an identifier for the Amazon S3 bucket where the data is to be exported.

--source-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the snapshot or cluster to export to Amazon S3.

--s3-bucket-name (string)

The name of the Amazon S3 bucket to export the snapshot or cluster data to.

--iam-role-arn (string)

The name of the IAM role to use for writing to the Amazon S3 bucket when exporting a snapshot or cluster.

In the IAM policy attached to your IAM role, include the following required actions to allow the transfer of files from Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora to an S3 bucket:

• s3:PutObject*
• s3:GetObject*
• s3:ListBucket
• s3:DeleteObject*
• s3:GetBucketLocation

In the policy, include the resources to identify the S3 bucket and objects in the bucket. The following list of resources shows the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format for accessing S3:

• ``arn:aws:s3:::your-s3-bucket ``
• arn:aws:s3:::*your-s3-bucket* /*

--kms-key-id (string)

The ID of the Amazon Web Services KMS key to use to encrypt the data exported to Amazon S3. The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key. The caller of this operation must be authorized to run the following operations. These can be set in the Amazon Web Services KMS key policy:

• kms:Encrypt
• kms:Decrypt
• kms:GenerateDataKey
• kms:GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext
• kms:ReEncryptFrom
• kms:ReEncryptTo
• kms:CreateGrant
• kms:DescribeKey
• kms:RetireGrant

--s3-prefix (string)

The Amazon S3 bucket prefix to use as the file name and path of the exported data.

--export-only (list)

The data to be exported from the snapshot or cluster. If this parameter isn’t provided, all of the data is exported.

Valid Values:

• database - Export all the data from a specified database.
• database.table table-name - Export a table of the snapshot or cluster. This format is valid only for RDS for MySQL, RDS for MariaDB, and Aurora MySQL.
• database.schema schema-name - Export a database schema of the snapshot or cluster. This format is valid only for RDS for PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL.
• database.schema.table table-name - Export a table of the database schema. This format is valid only for RDS for PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json
• text
• table
• yaml
• yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on
• off
• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

• base64
• raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To export a snapshot to Amazon S3

The following start-export-task example exports a DB snapshot named db5-snapshot-test to the Amazon S3 bucket named mybucket.

aws rds start-export-task \
    --export-task-identifier my-s3-export \
    --source-arn arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:db5-snapshot-test \
    --s3-bucket-name mybucket \
    --iam-role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/service-role/ExportRole \
    --kms-key-id arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/abcd0000-7fca-4128-82f2-aabbccddeeff

Output:

{
    "ExportTaskIdentifier": "my-s3-export",
    "SourceArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:db5-snapshot-test",
    "SnapshotTime": "2020-03-27T20:48:42.023Z",
    "S3Bucket": "mybucket",
    "IamRoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/service-role/ExportRole",
    "KmsKeyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/abcd0000-7fca-4128-82f2-aabbccddeeff",
    "Status": "STARTING",
    "PercentProgress": 0,
    "TotalExtractedDataInGB": 0
}
