/AWS1/CL_BUPBACKUPRULE

Specifies a scheduled task used to back up a selection of resources.

CONSTRUCTOR

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_rulename TYPE /AWS1/BUPBACKUPRULENAME /AWS1/BUPBACKUPRULENAME

A display name for a backup rule. Must contain 1 to 50 alphanumeric or '-_.' characters.

iv_targetbackupvaultname TYPE /AWS1/BUPBACKUPVAULTNAME /AWS1/BUPBACKUPVAULTNAME

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.

Optional arguments:

iv_scheduleexpression TYPE /AWS1/BUPCRONEXPRESSION /AWS1/BUPCRONEXPRESSION

A cron expression in UTC specifying when Backup initiates a backup job. When no CRON expression is provided, Backup will use the default expression cron(0 5 ? * * ).

For more information about Amazon Web Services cron expressions, see Schedule Expressions for Rules in the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide.

Two examples of Amazon Web Services cron expressions are 15 * ? * * (take a backup every hour at 15 minutes past the hour) and 0 12 * * ? * (take a backup every day at 12 noon UTC).

iv_startwindowminutes TYPE /AWS1/BUPWINDOWMINUTES /AWS1/BUPWINDOWMINUTES

A value in minutes after a backup is scheduled before a job will be canceled if it doesn't start successfully. This value is optional. If this value is included, it must be at least 60 minutes to avoid errors.

During the start window, the backup job status remains in CREATED status until it has successfully begun or until the start window time has run out. If within the start window time Backup receives an error that allows the job to be retried, Backup will automatically retry to begin the job at least every 10 minutes until the backup successfully begins (the job status changes to RUNNING) or until the job status changes to EXPIRED (which is expected to occur when the start window time is over).

iv_completionwindowminutes TYPE /AWS1/BUPWINDOWMINUTES /AWS1/BUPWINDOWMINUTES

A value in minutes after a backup job is successfully started before it must be completed or it will be canceled by Backup. This value is optional.

io_lifecycle TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_BUPLIFECYCLE /AWS1/CL_BUPLIFECYCLE

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 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.

it_recoverypointtags TYPE /AWS1/CL_BUPTAGS_W=>TT_TAGS TT_TAGS

The tags that are assigned to resources that are associated with this rule when restored from backup.

iv_ruleid TYPE /AWS1/BUPSTRING /AWS1/BUPSTRING

Uniquely identifies a rule that is used to schedule the backup of a selection of resources.

it_copyactions TYPE /AWS1/CL_BUPCOPYACTION=>TT_COPYACTIONS TT_COPYACTIONS

An array of CopyAction objects, which contains the details of the copy operation.

iv_enablecontinuousbackup TYPE /AWS1/BUPBOOLEAN /AWS1/BUPBOOLEAN

Specifies whether Backup creates continuous backups. True causes Backup to create continuous backups capable of point-in-time restore (PITR). False (or not specified) causes Backup to create snapshot backups.

iv_schedulexprsntimezone TYPE /AWS1/BUPTIMEZONE /AWS1/BUPTIMEZONE

The timezone in which the schedule expression is set. By default, ScheduleExpressions are in UTC. You can modify this to a specified timezone.

it_indexactions TYPE /AWS1/CL_BUPINDEXACTION=>TT_INDEXACTIONS TT_INDEXACTIONS

IndexActions is an array you use to specify how backup data should be indexed.

eEach BackupRule can have 0 or 1 IndexAction, as each backup can have up to one index associated with it.

Within the array is ResourceType. Only one will be accepted for each BackupRule.
