Request Syntax

response = client.start_restore_job(
    RecoveryPointArn='string',
    Metadata={
        'string': 'string'
    },
    IamRoleArn='string',
    IdempotencyToken='string',
    ResourceType='string'
)

Parameters

• RecoveryPointArn (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  An ARN that uniquely identifies a recovery point; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45 .

• Metadata (dict) --

  [REQUIRED]

  A set of metadata key-value pairs. Contains information, such as a resource name, required to restore a recovery point.

  You can get configuration metadata about a resource at the time it was backed up by calling GetRecoveryPointRestoreMetadata . However, values in addition to those provided by GetRecoveryPointRestoreMetadata might be required to restore a resource. For example, you might need to provide a new resource name if the original already exists.

  You need to specify specific metadata to restore an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) instance:

  • file-system-id : The ID of the Amazon EFS file system that is backed up by Backup. Returned in GetRecoveryPointRestoreMetadata .
  • Encrypted : A Boolean value that, if true, specifies that the file system is encrypted. If KmsKeyId is specified, Encrypted must be set to true .
  • KmsKeyId : Specifies the Amazon Web Services KMS key that is used to encrypt the restored file system. You can specify a key from another Amazon Web Services account provided that key it is properly shared with your account via Amazon Web Services KMS.
  • PerformanceMode : Specifies the throughput mode of the file system.
  • CreationToken : A user-supplied value that ensures the uniqueness (idempotency) of the request.
  • newFileSystem : A Boolean value that, if true, specifies that the recovery point is restored to a new Amazon EFS file system.
  • ItemsToRestore : An array of one to five strings where each string is a file path. Use ItemsToRestore to restore specific files or directories rather than the entire file system. This parameter is optional. For example, "itemsToRestore":"[\"/my.test\"]" .
  • (string) --
    • (string) --
• IamRoleArn (string) -- The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that Backup uses to create the target resource; for example: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/S3Access .
• IdempotencyToken (string) -- A customer-chosen string that you can use to distinguish between otherwise identical calls to StartRestoreJob . Retrying a successful request with the same idempotency token results in a success message with no action taken.
• ResourceType (string) --

  Starts a job to restore a recovery point for one of the following resources:

  • Aurora for Amazon Aurora
  • DocumentDB for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)
  • DynamoDB for Amazon DynamoDB
  • EBS for Amazon Elastic Block Store
  • EC2 for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
  • EFS for Amazon Elastic File System
  • FSx for Amazon FSx
  • Neptune for Amazon Neptune
  • RDS for Amazon Relational Database Service
  • Storage Gateway for Storage Gateway
  • S3 for Amazon S3
  • VirtualMachine for virtual machines
