Options

--creator-request-id (string)

This is a unique string that identifies the request and allows failed requests to be retriedwithout the risk of running the operation twice. This parameter is optional. If used, this parameter must contain 1 to 50 alphanumeric or '-_.' characters.

--restore-testing-plan (structure)

A restore testing plan must contain a unique RestoreTestingPlanName string you create and must contain a ScheduleExpression cron. You may optionally include a StartWindowHours integer and a CreatorRequestId string.

The RestoreTestingPlanName is a unique string that is the name of the restore testing plan. This cannot be changed after creation, and it must consist of only alphanumeric characters and underscores.

RecoveryPointSelection -> (structure)

RecoveryPointSelection has five parameters (three required and two optional). The values you specify determine which recovery point is included in the restore test. You must indicate with Algorithm if you want the latest recovery point within your SelectionWindowDays or if you want a random recovery point, and you must indicate through IncludeVaults from which vaults the recovery points can be chosen.

Algorithm (required ) Valid values: "LATEST_WITHIN_WINDOW " or "RANDOM_WITHIN_WINDOW ".

Recovery point types (required ) Valid values: "SNAPSHOT " and/or "CONTINUOUS ". Include SNAPSHOT to restore only snapshot recovery points; include CONTINUOUS to restore continuous recovery points (point in time restore / PITR); use both to restore either a snapshot or a continuous recovery point. The recovery point will be determined by the value for Algorithm .

IncludeVaults (required ). You must include one or more backup vaults. Use the wildcard ["*"] or specific ARNs.

SelectionWindowDays (optional ) Value must be an integer (in days) from 1 to 365. If not included, the value defaults to 30 .

ExcludeVaults (optional ). You can choose to input one or more specific backup vault ARNs to exclude those vaults' contents from restore eligibility. Or, you can include a list of selectors. If this parameter and its value are not included, it defaults to empty list.

Algorithm -> (string)

Acceptable values include "LATEST_WITHIN_WINDOW" or "RANDOM_WITHIN_WINDOW"

ExcludeVaults -> (list)

Accepted values include specific ARNs or list of selectors. Defaults to empty list if not listed.

(string)

IncludeVaults -> (list)

Accepted values include wildcard ["*"] or by specific ARNs or ARN wilcard replacement ["arn:aws:backup:us-west-2:123456789012:backup-vault:asdf", ...] ["arn:aws:backup:::backup-vault:asdf-*", ...]

(string)

RecoveryPointTypes -> (list)

These are the types of recovery points.

Include SNAPSHOT to restore only snapshot recovery points; include CONTINUOUS to restore continuous recovery points (point in time restore / PITR); use both to restore either a snapshot or a continuous recovery point. The recovery point will be determined by the value for Algorithm .

(string)

SelectionWindowDays -> (integer)

Accepted values are integers from 1 to 365.

RestoreTestingPlanName -> (string)

The RestoreTestingPlanName is a unique string that is the name of the restore testing plan. This cannot be changed after creation, and it must consist of only alphanumeric characters and underscores.

ScheduleExpression -> (string)

A CRON expression in specified timezone when a restore testing plan is executed.

ScheduleExpressionTimezone -> (string)

Optional. This is the timezone in which the schedule expression is set. By default, ScheduleExpressions are in UTC. You can modify this to a specified timezone.

StartWindowHours -> (integer)

Defaults to 24 hours.

A value in hours after a restore test is scheduled before a job will be canceled if it doesn't start successfully. This value is optional. If this value is included, this parameter has a maximum value of 168 hours (one week).

}

--tags (map)

The tags to assign to the restore testing plan.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

CreationTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time a restore testing plan was created, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of CreationTime is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087AM.

RestoreTestingPlanArn -> (string)

An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the created restore testing plan.

RestoreTestingPlanName -> (string)
