      Metadata for the backup access point. After the backup access point reaches the AVAILABLE status, this map contains S3AccessPointArn and S3AccessPointAlias, which you use with standard Amazon S3 read APIs to access the backup data. For continuous recovery points, this map also contains AccessPointInTime (in format 2021-11-27T03:30:27Z). The access point provides access to the content present in the backup at that specific time.

      The name of the backup vault that contains the recovery point.

    • CreationTime (datetime) –
