Operation

restore_table_to_point_in_time async

restore_table_to_point_in_time(input: RestoreTableToPointInTimeInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> RestoreTableToPointInTimeOutput

Restores the specified table to the specified point in time within EarliestRestorableDateTime and LatestRestorableDateTime. You can restore your table to any point in time in the last 35 days. You can set the recovery period to any value between 1 and 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

Warning: 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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input RestoreTableToPointInTimeInput

An instance of RestoreTableToPointInTimeInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
RestoreTableToPointInTimeOutput

An instance of RestoreTableToPointInTimeOutput.

Input

RestoreTableToPointInTimeInput dataclass

Dataclass for RestoreTableToPointInTimeInput structure.

Attributes

billing_mode_override class-attribute instance-attribute
billing_mode_override: BillingMode | None = None

The billing mode of the restored table.

global_secondary_index_override class-attribute instance-attribute
global_secondary_index_override: list[GlobalSecondaryIndex] | None = None

List of global secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

The WarmThroughput setting is not supported on global secondary indexes when you use RestoreTableToPointInTime. Although WarmThroughput appears in the shared index definition, including it in a GlobalSecondaryIndexOverride entry causes the request to fail with a validation error.

local_secondary_index_override class-attribute instance-attribute
local_secondary_index_override: list[LocalSecondaryIndex] | None = None

List of local secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

on_demand_throughput_override class-attribute instance-attribute
on_demand_throughput_override: OnDemandThroughput | None = None

Sets the maximum number of read and write units for the specified on-demand table. If you use this parameter, you must specify MaxReadRequestUnits, MaxWriteRequestUnits, or both.

provisioned_throughput_override class-attribute instance-attribute
provisioned_throughput_override: ProvisionedThroughput | None = None

Provisioned throughput settings for the restored table.

restore_date_time class-attribute instance-attribute
restore_date_time: datetime | None = None

Time in the past to restore the table to.

source_table_arn class-attribute instance-attribute
source_table_arn: str | None = None

The DynamoDB table that will be restored. This value is an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

source_table_name class-attribute instance-attribute
source_table_name: str | None = None

Name of the source table that is being restored.

sse_specification_override class-attribute instance-attribute
sse_specification_override: SSESpecification | None = None

The new server-side encryption settings for the restored table.

target_table_name class-attribute instance-attribute
target_table_name: str | None = None

The name of the new table to which it must be restored to.

use_latest_restorable_time class-attribute instance-attribute
use_latest_restorable_time: bool | None = None

Restore the table to the latest possible time. LatestRestorableDateTime is typically 5 minutes before the current time.

vector_index_override class-attribute instance-attribute
vector_index_override: list[VectorIndex] | None = None

The vector indexes for the restored table. If not specified, all vector indexes from the source table are restored. The indexes provided must match existing vector indexes from the source table. You can choose to exclude some or all of the vector indexes at the time of restore.

Output

RestoreTableToPointInTimeOutput dataclass

Dataclass for RestoreTableToPointInTimeOutput structure.

Attributes

table_description class-attribute instance-attribute
table_description: TableDescription | None = None

Represents the properties of a table.
