RestoreTableToPointInTime

Restores the specified table to the specified point in time within EarliestRestorableDateTime and LatestRestorableDateTime. You can restore your table to any point in time during the last 35 days. Any number of users can execute up to 50 concurrent restores (any type of restore) in a given account.

When you restore using point in time recovery, DynamoDB restores your table data to the state based on the selected date and time (day:hour:minute:second) to a new table.

Along with data, the following are also included on the new restored table using point in time recovery:

  • Global secondary indexes (GSIs)

  • Local secondary indexes (LSIs)

  • Provisioned read and write capacity

  • Encryption settings

    Important

    All these settings come from the current settings of the source table at the time of restore.

You must manually set up the following on the restored table:

  • Auto scaling policies

  • IAM policies

  • Amazon CloudWatch metrics and alarms

  • Tags

  • Stream settings

  • Time to Live (TTL) settings

  • Point in time recovery settings

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

TableDescription

Represents the properties of a table.

Type: TableDescription object

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServerError

An error occurred on the server side.

HTTP Status Code: 500

InvalidRestoreTimeException

An invalid restore time was specified. RestoreDateTime must be between EarliestRestorableDateTime and LatestRestorableDateTime.

HTTP Status Code: 400

LimitExceededException

There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.

For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include CreateTable, UpdateTable, DeleteTable,UpdateTimeToLive, RestoreTableFromBackup, and RestoreTableToPointInTime.

When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.

When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.

There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.

GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.

More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.

HTTP Status Code: 400

PointInTimeRecoveryUnavailableException

Point in time recovery has not yet been enabled for this source table.

HTTP Status Code: 400

TableAlreadyExistsException

A target table with the specified name already exists.

HTTP Status Code: 400

TableInUseException

A target table with the specified name is either being created or deleted.

HTTP Status Code: 400

TableNotFoundException

A source table with the name TableName does not currently exist within the subscriber's account or the subscriber is operating in the wrong AWS Region.

HTTP Status Code: 400
