Synopsis

Calls the Amazon ElastiCache CopySnapshot API operation.

Syntax

Copy-ECSnapshot
-SourceSnapshotName <String>
-TargetSnapshotName <String>
-KmsKeyId <String>
-Tag <Tag[]>
-TargetBucket <String>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>

Description

Makes a copy of an existing snapshot. This operation is valid for Valkey or Redis OSS only. Users or groups that have permissions to use the CopySnapshot operation can create their own Amazon S3 buckets and copy snapshots to it. To control access to your snapshots, use an IAM policy to control who has the ability to use the CopySnapshot operation. For more information about using IAM to control the use of ElastiCache operations, see Exporting Snapshots and Authentication & Access Control. You could receive the following error messages. Error Messages
  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s is outside of the region. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.
  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s does not exist. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.
  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s is not owned by the authenticated user. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.
  • Error Message: The authenticated user does not have sufficient permissions to perform the desired activity. Solution: Contact your system administrator to get the needed permissions.
  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s already contains an object with key %s. Solution: Give the TargetSnapshotName a new and unique value. If exporting a snapshot, you could alternatively create a new Amazon S3 bucket and use this same value for TargetSnapshotName.
  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted READ permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add List and Read permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.
  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted WRITE permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add Upload/Delete permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.
  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted READ_ACP permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add View Permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonElastiCacheConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.EC.AmazonElastiCacheClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-KmsKeyId <String>
The ID of the KMS key used to encrypt the target snapshot.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the SourceSnapshotName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^SourceSnapshotName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Snapshot'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.ElastiCache.Model.CopySnapshotResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.ElastiCache.Model.CopySnapshotResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SourceSnapshotName <String>
The name of an existing snapshot from which to make a copy.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-Tag <Tag[]>
A list of tags to be added to this resource. A tag is a key-value pair. A tag key must be accompanied by a tag value, although null is accepted.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTags
-TargetBucket <String>
The Amazon S3 bucket to which the snapshot is exported. This parameter is used only when exporting a snapshot for external access.When using this parameter to export a snapshot, be sure Amazon ElastiCache has the needed permissions to this S3 bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the Amazon ElastiCache User Guide.For more information, see Exporting a Snapshot in the Amazon ElastiCache User Guide.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-TargetSnapshotName <String>
A name for the snapshot copy. ElastiCache does not permit overwriting a snapshot, therefore this name must be unique within its context - ElastiCache or an Amazon S3 bucket if exporting.
Required?True
Position?2
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>

Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage.

Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.
