      The account ID that owns the backup job.
    - BackupJobId (string) –
      
      Uniquely identifies a request to Backup to back up a resource.
    - BackupVaultName (string) –
      
      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. They consist of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
    - BackupVaultArn (string) –
      
      An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a backup vault; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:vault:aBackupVault.
    - RecoveryPointArn (string) –
      
      An ARN that uniquely identifies a recovery point; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45.
    - ResourceArn (string) –
      
      An ARN that uniquely identifies a resource. The format of the ARN depends on the resource type.
    - CreationDate (datetime) –
      
      The date and time a backup job is created, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of CreationDate is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.
    - CompletionDate (datetime) –
      
      The date and time a job to create a backup job is completed, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of CompletionDate is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.
    - State (string) –
      
      The current state of a backup job.
    - StatusMessage (string) –

      Contains an estimated percentage complete of a job at the time the job status was queried.
    - BackupSizeInBytes (integer) –
      
      The size, in bytes, of a backup.
    - IamRoleArn (string) –
      
      Specifies the IAM role ARN used to create the target recovery point. IAM roles other than the default role must include either AWSBackup or AwsBackup in the role name. For example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/AWSBackupRDSAccess. Role names without those strings lack permissions to perform backup jobs.
    - CreatedBy (dict) –
      
      Contains identifying information about the creation of a backup job, including the BackupPlanArn, BackupPlanId, BackupPlanVersion, and BackupRuleId of the backup plan used to create it.

      The date and time a job to back up resources is expected to be completed, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of ExpectedCompletionDate is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.
    - StartBy (datetime) –
      
      Specifies the time in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when a backup job must be started before it is canceled. The value is calculated by adding the start window to the scheduled time. So if the scheduled time were 6:00 PM and the start window is 2 hours, the StartBy time would be 8:00 PM on the date specified. The value of StartBy is accurate to milliseconds.
