update-recovery-point-lifecycle

Description

Sets the transition lifecycle of a recovery point.

The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup transitions and expires backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.

Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.

Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, the “retention” setting must be 90 days greater than the “transition to cold after days” setting. The “transition to cold after days” setting cannot be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.

Warning

If your lifecycle currently uses the parameters DeleteAfterDays and MoveToColdStorageAfterDays , include these parameters and their values when you call this operation. Not including them may result in your plan updating with null values.

This operation does not support continuous backups.

Options

--backup-vault-name (string)

The name of a logical container where backups are stored. Backup vaults are identified by names that are unique to the account used to create them and the Amazon Web Services Region where they are created.

--recovery-point-arn (string)

An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a recovery point; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45 .

--lifecycle (structure)

The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup transitions and expires backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.

Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, the “retention” setting must be 90 days greater than the “transition to cold after days” setting. The “transition to cold after days” setting cannot be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.

MoveToColdStorageAfterDays -> (long)

The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.

DeleteAfterDays -> (long)

The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources -> (boolean)

If the value is true, your backup plan transitions supported resources to archive (cold) storage tier in accordance with your lifecycle settings.

Shorthand Syntax:

MoveToColdStorageAfterDays=long,DeleteAfterDays=long,OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "MoveToColdStorageAfterDays": long,
  "DeleteAfterDays": long,
  "OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources": true|false
}

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

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

--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.

Output

BackupVaultArn -> (string)

An ARN that uniquely identifies a backup vault; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:backup-vault:aBackupVault .

RecoveryPointArn -> (string)

An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a recovery point; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45 .

Lifecycle -> (structure)

The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup transitions and expires backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.

Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, the “retention” setting must be 90 days greater than the “transition to cold after days” setting. The “transition to cold after days” setting cannot be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.

Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.

MoveToColdStorageAfterDays -> (long)

The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.

DeleteAfterDays -> (long)

The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays .

OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources -> (boolean)

If the value is true, your backup plan transitions supported resources to archive (cold) storage tier in accordance with your lifecycle settings.

CalculatedLifecycle -> (structure)

A CalculatedLifecycle object containing DeleteAt and MoveToColdStorageAt timestamps.

MoveToColdStorageAt -> (timestamp)

A timestamp that specifies when to transition a recovery point to cold storage.

DeleteAt -> (timestamp)

A timestamp that specifies when to delete a recovery point.
