Response Structure

(dict) –
- 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.
- 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 Region where they are created.
- BackupVaultArn (string) –
  
  An ARN that uniquely identifies a backup vault; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:backup-vault:aBackupVault.
- SourceBackupVaultArn (string) –
  
  An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the source vault where the resource was originally backed up in; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:backup-vault:aBackupVault. If the recovery is restored to the same Amazon Web Services account or Region, this value will be null.
- ResourceArn (string) –
  
  An ARN that uniquely identifies a saved resource. The format of the ARN depends on the resource type.
- ResourceType (string) –
  
  The type of Amazon Web Services resource to save as a recovery point; for example, an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume or an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) database.
- CreatedBy (dict) –
  
  Contains identifying information about the creation of a recovery point, including the BackupPlanArn, BackupPlanId, BackupPlanVersion, and BackupRuleId of the backup plan used to create it.
  - BackupPlanId (string) –
    
    Uniquely identifies a backup plan.
  - BackupPlanArn (string) –
    
    An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a backup plan; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:plan:8F81F553-3A74-4A3F-B93D-B3360DC80C50.
  - BackupPlanVersion (string) –
    
    Version IDs are unique, randomly generated, Unicode, UTF-8 encoded strings that are at most 1,024 bytes long. They cannot be edited.
  - BackupRuleId (string) –
    
    Uniquely identifies a rule used to schedule the backup of a selection of resources.
- IamRoleArn (string) –
  
  Specifies the IAM role ARN used to create the target recovery point; for example, arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/S3Access.
- Status (string) –
  
  A status code specifying the state of the recovery point.
  
  PARTIAL status indicates Backup could not create the recovery point before the backup window closed. To increase your backup plan window using the API, see UpdateBackupPlan. You can also increase your backup plan window using the Console by choosing and editing your backup plan.
  
  EXPIRED status indicates that the recovery point has exceeded its retention period, but Backup lacks permission or is otherwise unable to delete it. To manually delete these recovery points, see Step 3: Delete the recovery points in the Clean up resources section of Getting started.
  
  STOPPED status occurs on a continuous backup where a user has taken some action that causes the continuous backup to be disabled. This can be caused by the removal of permissions, turning off versioning, turning off events being sent to EventBridge, or disabling the EventBridge rules that are put in place by Backup. For recovery points of Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Aurora resources, this status occurs when the retention period of a continuous backup rule is changed.
  
  To resolve STOPPED status, ensure that all requested permissions are in place and that versioning is enabled on the S3 bucket. Once these conditions are met, the next instance of a backup rule running will result in a new continuous recovery point being created. The recovery points with STOPPED status do not need to be deleted.
  
  For SAP HANA on Amazon EC2 STOPPED status occurs due to user action, application misconfiguration, or backup failure. To ensure that future continuous backups succeed, refer to the recovery point status and check SAP HANA for details.
- StatusMessage (string) –
  
  A status message explaining the status of the recovery point.
- CreationDate (datetime) –
  
  The date and time that a recovery point 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 that a job to create a recovery point 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.
- BackupSizeInBytes (integer) –
  
  The size, in bytes, of a backup.
- CalculatedLifecycle (dict) –
  
  A CalculatedLifecycle object containing DeleteAt and MoveToColdStorageAt timestamps.
  - MoveToColdStorageAt (datetime) –
    
    A timestamp that specifies when to transition a recovery point to cold storage.
  - DeleteAt (datetime) –
    
    A timestamp that specifies when to delete a recovery point.
- Lifecycle (dict) –
  
  The lifecycle defines when a protected resource is transitioned to cold storage and when it expires. Backup transitions and expires backups automatically according to the lifecycle that you define.
  
  Backups that are 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.
  - MoveToColdStorageAfterDays (integer) –
    
    The number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
  - DeleteAfterDays (integer) –
    
    The number of days after creation that a recovery point is deleted. This value must be at least 90 days after the number of days specified in MoveToColdStorageAfterDays.
  - OptInToArchiveForSupportedResources (boolean) –
    
    If the value is true, your backup plan transitions supported resources to archive (cold) storage tier in accordance with your lifecycle settings.
- EncryptionKeyArn (string) –
  
  The server-side encryption key used to protect your backups; for example, arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
- IsEncrypted (boolean) –
  
  A Boolean value that is returned as TRUE if the specified recovery point is encrypted, or FALSE if the recovery point is not encrypted.
- StorageClass (string) –
  
  Specifies the storage class of the recovery point. Valid values are WARM or COLD.
- LastRestoreTime (datetime) –
  
  The date and time that a recovery point was last restored, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of LastRestoreTime is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.
- ParentRecoveryPointArn (string) –
  
  This is an ARN that uniquely identifies a parent (composite) recovery point; for example, arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:recovery-point:1EB3B5E7-9EB0-435A-A80B-108B488B0D45.
- CompositeMemberIdentifier (string) –
  
  The identifier of a resource within a composite group, such as nested (child) recovery point belonging to a composite (parent) stack. The ID is transferred from the logical ID within a stack.
- IsParent (boolean) –
  
  This returns the boolean value that a recovery point is a parent (composite) job.
- ResourceName (string) –
  
  The name of the resource that belongs to the specified backup.
- VaultType (string) –
  
  The type of vault in which the described recovery point is stored.
