# BacktrackDBCluster
<a name="API_BacktrackDBCluster"></a>

Backtracks a DB cluster to a specific time, without creating a new DB cluster.

For more information on backtracking, see [ Backtracking an Aurora DB Cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Managing.Backtrack.html) in the *Amazon Aurora User Guide*.

**Note**  
This action applies only to Aurora MySQL DB clusters.

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_BacktrackDBCluster_RequestParameters"></a>

 For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

 ** BacktrackTo **   
The timestamp of the time to backtrack the DB cluster to, specified in ISO 8601 format. For more information about ISO 8601, see the [ISO8601 Wikipedia page.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)   
If the specified time isn't a consistent time for the DB cluster, Aurora automatically chooses the nearest possible consistent time for the DB cluster.
Constraints:  
+ Must contain a valid ISO 8601 timestamp.
+ Can't contain a timestamp set in the future.
Example: `2017-07-08T18:00Z`   
Type: Timestamp  
Required: Yes

 ** DBClusterIdentifier **   
The DB cluster identifier of the DB cluster to be backtracked. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.  
Constraints:  
+ Must contain from 1 to 63 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.
+ First character must be a letter.
+ Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
Example: `my-cluster1`   
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** Force **   
Specifies whether to force the DB cluster to backtrack when binary logging is enabled. Otherwise, an error occurs when binary logging is enabled.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 ** UseEarliestTimeOnPointInTimeUnavailable **   
Specifies whether to backtrack the DB cluster to the earliest possible backtrack time when *BacktrackTo* is set to a timestamp earlier than the earliest backtrack time. When this parameter is disabled and *BacktrackTo* is set to a timestamp earlier than the earliest backtrack time, an error occurs.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No
