backup_create_backup_selection: Creates a JSON document that specifies a set of resources to assign to a backup plan

Description

Creates a JSON document that specifies a set of resources to assign to a backup plan. Resources can be included by specifying patterns for a ListOfTags and selected Resources.

Usage

backup_create_backup_selection(BackupPlanId, BackupSelection,
  CreatorRequestId)

Arguments

BackupPlanId

[required] Uniquely identifies the backup plan to be associated with the selection of resources.

BackupSelection

[required] Specifies the body of a request to assign a set of resources to a backup plan.

It includes an array of resources, an optional array of patterns to exclude resources, an optional role to provide access to the AWS service the resource belongs to, and an optional array of tags used to identify a set of resources.

CreatorRequestId

A unique string that identifies the request and allows failed requests to be retried without the risk of executing the operation twice.

Request syntax

svc$create_backup_selection(
  BackupPlanId = "string",
  BackupSelection = list(
    SelectionName = "string",
    IamRoleArn = "string",
    Resources = list(
      "string"
    ),
    ListOfTags = list(
      list(
        ConditionType = "STRINGEQUALS",
        ConditionKey = "string",
        ConditionValue = "string"
      )
    )
  ),
  CreatorRequestId = "string"
)

Details

For example, consider the following patterns:

  • Resources: "arn:aws:ec2:region:account-id:volume/volume-id"

  • ConditionKey:"department"

ConditionValue:"finance"

ConditionType:"StringEquals"

  • ConditionKey:"importance"

ConditionValue:"critical"

ConditionType:"StringEquals"

Using these patterns would back up all Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are tagged as "department=finance", "importance=critical", in addition to an EBS volume with the specified volume Id.

Resources and conditions are additive in that all resources that match the pattern are selected. This shouldn't be confused with a logical AND, where all conditions must match. The matching patterns are logically 'put together using the OR operator. In other words, all patterns that match are selected for backup.
