ElastiCache / Client / copy_snapshot

copy_snapshot#

ElastiCache.Client.copy_snapshot(**kwargs)#

Makes a copy of an existing snapshot.

Note

This operation is valid for Valkey or Redis OSS only.

Warning

Users or groups that have permissions to use the CopySnapshot operation can create their own Amazon S3 buckets and copy snapshots to it. To control access to your snapshots, use an IAM policy to control who has the ability to use the CopySnapshot operation. For more information about using IAM to control the use of ElastiCache operations, see Exporting Snapshots and Authentication & Access Control.

You could receive the following error messages.

Error Messages

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s is outside of the region. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s does not exist. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s is not owned by the authenticated user. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: The authenticated user does not have sufficient permissions to perform the desired activity. Solution: Contact your system administrator to get the needed permissions.

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s already contains an object with key %s. Solution: Give the TargetSnapshotName a new and unique value. If exporting a snapshot, you could alternatively create a new Amazon S3 bucket and use this same value for TargetSnapshotName.

  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted READ permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add List and Read permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted WRITE permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add Upload/Delete permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted READ_ACP permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add View Permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

Request Syntax

response = client.copy_snapshot(
    SourceSnapshotName='string',
    TargetSnapshotName='string',
    TargetBucket='string',
    KmsKeyId='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters:

  • SourceSnapshotName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of an existing snapshot from which to make a copy.

  • TargetSnapshotName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    A name for the snapshot copy. ElastiCache does not permit overwriting a snapshot, therefore this name must be unique within its context - ElastiCache or an Amazon S3 bucket if exporting.

  • TargetBucket (string) –

    The Amazon S3 bucket to which the snapshot is exported. This parameter is used only when exporting a snapshot for external access.

    When using this parameter to export a snapshot, be sure Amazon ElastiCache has the needed permissions to this S3 bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the Amazon ElastiCache User Guide.

    For more information, see Exporting a Snapshot in the Amazon ElastiCache User Guide.

  • KmsKeyId (string) – The ID of the KMS key used to encrypt the target snapshot.

  • Tags (list) –

    A list of tags to be added to this resource. A tag is a key-value pair. A tag key must be accompanied by a tag value, although null is accepted.

    • (dict) –

      A tag that can be added to an ElastiCache cluster or replication group. Tags are composed of a Key/Value pair. You can use tags to categorize and track all your ElastiCache resources, with the exception of global replication group. When you add or remove tags on replication groups, those actions will be replicated to all nodes in the replication group. A tag with a null Value is permitted.

      • Key (string) –

        The key for the tag. May not be null.

      • Value (string) –

        The tag’s value. May be null.

Return type:

dict
