RestoreTestingRecoveryPointSelection
RecoveryPointSelection has five parameters (three required and two
optional). The values you specify determine which recovery point is included in the restore
test. You must indicate with Algorithm if you want the latest recovery point
within your SelectionWindowDays or if you want a random recovery point, and
you must indicate through IncludeVaults from which vaults the recovery points
can be chosen.
Algorithm (required) Valid values:
"LATEST_WITHIN_WINDOW" or "RANDOM_WITHIN_WINDOW".
Recovery point types (required) Valid values:
"SNAPSHOT" and/or "CONTINUOUS". Include SNAPSHOT
to restore only snapshot recovery points; include CONTINUOUS to restore
continuous recovery points (point in time restore / PITR); use both to restore either a
snapshot or a continuous recovery point. The recovery point will be determined by the value
for Algorithm.
IncludeVaults (required). You must include one or more
backup vaults. Use the wildcard ["*"] or specific ARNs.
SelectionWindowDays (optional) Value must be an
integer (in days) from 1 to 365. If not included, the value defaults to
30.
ExcludeVaults (optional). You can choose to input one
or more specific backup vault ARNs to exclude those vaults' contents from restore
eligibility. Or, you can include a list of selectors. If this parameter and its value are
not included, it defaults to empty list.
