Starts an on-demand backup job for the specified resource.

[required] The name of a logical container where backups are stored. Backup vaults are identified by names that are unique to the account used to create them and the Amazon Web Services Region where they are created.
[required] An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a resource. The format of the ARN depends on the resource type.
[required] Specifies the IAM role ARN used to create the target recovery point; for
example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/S3Access
.
A customer-chosen string that you can use to distinguish between
otherwise identical calls to
start_backup_job
. Retrying a successful
request with the same idempotency token results in a success message
with no action taken.
A value in minutes after a backup is scheduled before a job will be canceled if it doesn't start successfully. This value is optional, and the default is 8 hours. If this value is included, it must be at least 60 minutes to avoid errors.
This parameter has a maximum value of 100 years (52,560,000 minutes).
During the start window, the backup job status remains in CREATED
status until it has successfully begun or until the start window time
has run out. If within the start window time Backup receives an error
that allows the job to be retried, Backup will automatically retry to
begin the job at least every 10 minutes until the backup successfully
begins (the job status changes to RUNNING
) or until the job status
changes to EXPIRED
(which is expected to occur when the start window
time is over).
A value in minutes during which a successfully started backup must
complete, or else Backup will cancel the job. This value is optional.
This value begins counting down from when the backup was scheduled. It
does not add additional time for StartWindowMinutes
, or if the backup
started later than scheduled.
Like StartWindowMinutes
, this parameter has a maximum value of 100
years (52,560,000 minutes).
The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup will transition and expire backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.
Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, the “retention” setting must be 90 days greater than the “transition to cold after days” setting. The “transition to cold after days” setting cannot be changed after a backup has been transitioned to cold.
Resource types that can transition to cold storage are listed in the Feature availability by resource table. Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
This parameter has a maximum value of 100 years (36,500 days).
The tags to assign to the resources.
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 the WindowsVSS
backup option and create a Windows VSS backup. Set to
"WindowsVSS""disabled"
to create a regular backup. The WindowsVSS
option is not enabled by default.
