This API is supported for recovery points for resource types including Aurora, Amazon DocumentDB. Amazon EBS, Amazon FSx, Neptune, and Amazon RDS.

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

resourceArn

An ARN that uniquely identifies a resource. The format of the ARN depends on the type of the tagged resource.

ARNs that do not include backup are incompatible with tagging. TagResource and UntagResource with invalid ARNs will result in an error. Acceptable ARN content can include arn:aws:backup:us-east. Invalid ARN content may look like arn:aws:ec2:us-east.
