## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-backup-backupselection-backupselectionresourcetype-properties"></a>

`Conditions`  <a name="cfn-backup-backupselection-backupselectionresourcetype-conditions"></a>
A list of conditions that you define to assign resources to your backup plans using tags. For example, `"StringEquals": { "ConditionKey": "aws:ResourceTag/CreatedByCryo", "ConditionValue": "true" },`. Condition operators are case sensitive.  
`Conditions` differs from `ListOfTags` as follows:  
+ When you specify more than one condition, you only assign the resources that match ALL conditions (using AND logic).
+ `Conditions` supports `StringEquals`, `StringLike`, `StringNotEquals`, and `StringNotLike`. `ListOfTags` only supports `StringEquals`.
*Required*: No  
*Type*: [Conditions](aws-properties-backup-backupselection-conditions.md)  
*Update requires*: [Replacement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-replacement)

`IamRoleArn`  <a name="cfn-backup-backupselection-backupselectionresourcetype-iamrolearn"></a>
The ARN of the IAM role that AWS Backup uses to authenticate when backing up the target resource; for example, `arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/S3Access`.  
*Required*: Yes  
*Type*: String  
*Update requires*: [Replacement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-replacement)

`ListOfTags`  <a name="cfn-backup-backupselection-backupselectionresourcetype-listoftags"></a>
A list of conditions that you define to assign resources to your backup plans using tags. For example, `"StringEquals": { "ConditionKey": "aws:ResourceTag/CreatedByCryo", "ConditionValue": "true" },`. Condition operators are case sensitive.  
`ListOfTags` differs from `Conditions` as follows:  
+ When you specify more than one condition, you assign all resources that match AT LEAST ONE condition (using OR logic).
+ `ListOfTags` only supports `StringEquals`. `Conditions` supports `StringEquals`, `StringLike`, `StringNotEquals`, and `StringNotLike`. 
*Required*: No  
*Type*: Array of [ConditionResourceType](aws-properties-backup-backupselection-conditionresourcetype.md)  
*Update requires*: [Replacement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-replacement)

`NotResources`  <a name="cfn-backup-backupselection-backupselectionresourcetype-notresources"></a>
A list of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) to exclude from a backup plan. The maximum number of ARNs is 500 without wildcards, or 30 ARNs with wildcards.  
If you need to exclude many resources from a backup plan, consider a different resource selection strategy, such as assigning only one or a few resource types or refining your resource selection using tags.  
*Required*: No  
*Type*: Array of String  
*Update requires*: [Replacement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-replacement)

`SelectionName`  <a name="cfn-backup-backupselection-backupselectionresourcetype-selectionname"></a>
The display name of a resource selection document.  
*Required*: Yes  
*Type*: String
