BackupJob
Contains detailed information about a backup job.
Contents
- AccountId
-
The account ID that owns the backup job.
Type: String
Pattern:
^[0-9]{12}$
Required: No
- BackupJobId
-
Uniquely identifies a request to AWS Backup to back up a resource.
Type: String
Required: No
- BackupOptions
-
Specifies the backup option for a selected resource. This option is only available for Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) backup jobs.
Valid values: Set to
"WindowsVSS":"enabled"
to enable theWindowsVSS
backup option and create a Windows VSS backup. Set to"WindowsVSS":"disabled"
to create a regular backup. If you specify an invalid option, you get anInvalidParameterValueException
exception.Type: String to string map
Key Pattern:
^[a-zA-Z0-9\-\_\.]{1,50}$
Value Pattern:

Required: No
- BackupSizeInBytes
-
The size, in bytes, of a backup (recovery point).
This value can render differently depending on the resource type as AWS Backup pulls in data information from other AWS services. For example, the value returned may show a value of
0
, which may differ from the anticipated value.The expected behavior for values by resource type are described as follows:
-
Amazon Aurora, Amazon DocumentDB, and Amazon Neptune do not have this value populate from the operation
GetBackupJobStatus
. -
For Amazon DynamoDB with advanced features, this value refers to the size of the recovery point (backup).
-
Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS show volume size (provisioned storage) returned as part of this value. Amazon EBS does not return backup size information; snapshot size will have the same value as the original resource that was backed up.
-
For Amazon EFS, this value refers to the delta bytes transferred during a backup.
-
Amazon FSx does not populate this value from the operation
GetBackupJobStatus
for FSx file systems. -
An Amazon RDS instance will show as
0
. -
For virtual machines running VMware, this value is passed to AWS Backup through an asynchronous workflow, which can mean this displayed value can under-represent the actual backup size.

Type: String
Required: No

The size in bytes transferred to a backup vault at the time that the job status was queried.
Type: Long
Required: No
- CompletionDate
-
The date and time a job to create a backup job is completed, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of
CompletionDate
is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- CreatedBy
-
Contains identifying information about the creation of a backup job, including the
BackupPlanArn
,BackupPlanId
,BackupPlanVersion
, andBackupRuleId
of the backup plan used to create it.Type: RecoveryPointCreator object
Required: No
- CreationDate
-
The date and time a backup job is created, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of
CreationDate
is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- ExpectedCompletionDate
-
The date and time a job to back up resources is expected to be completed, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of
ExpectedCompletionDate
is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- IamRoleArn
-
Specifies the IAM role ARN used to create the target recovery point. IAM roles other than the default role must include either
AWSBackup
orAwsBackup
in the role name. For example,arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/AWSBackupRDSAccess
. Role names without those strings lack permissions to perform backup jobs.Type: String
Required: No
- InitiationDate
-
The date on which the backup job was initiated.
Type: Timestamp
Required: No
- IsParent
-
This is a boolean value indicating this is a parent (composite) backup job.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
- MessageCategory
-
This parameter is the job count for the specified message category.
Example strings may include
AccessDenied
,SUCCESS
,AGGREGATE_ALL
, andINVALIDPARAMETERS
. See Monitoring for a list of MessageCategory strings.The the value ANY returns count of all message categories.
AGGREGATE_ALL
aggregates job counts for all message categories and returns the sum.Type: String
Required: No
- ParentJobId
-
This uniquely identifies a request to AWS Backup to back up a resource. The return will be the parent (composite) job ID.
Type: String
Required: No
- PercentDone
-
Contains an estimated percentage complete of a job at the time the job status was queried.
Type: String
Required: No
- RecoveryPointArn
-
An ARN that uniquely identifies a recovery point; for example,
arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45

Type: String
Required: No
- ResourceType

Required: No
- StartBy
-
Specifies the time in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when a backup job must be started before it is canceled. The value is calculated by adding the start window to the scheduled time. So if the scheduled time were 6:00 PM and the start window is 2 hours, the
StartBy
time would be 8:00 PM on the date specified. The value ofStartBy
is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.Type: Timestamp
