Class CreateBackupRequest

Namespace

Amazon.FSx.Model

Assembly

AWSSDK.FSx.dll

Container for the parameters to the CreateBackup operation. Creates a backup of an existing Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system, Amazon FSx for Lustre file system, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP volume, or Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file system. We recommend creating regular backups so that you can restore a file system or volume from a backup if an issue arises with the original file system or volume.

For Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems, you can create a backup only for file systems that have the following configuration:

• A Persistent deployment type

• Are not linked to a data repository

For more information about backups, see the following:

• For Amazon FSx for Lustre, see Working with FSx for Lustre backups.

• For Amazon FSx for Windows, see Working with FSx for Windows backups.

• For Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, see Working with FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups.

• For Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, see Working with FSx for OpenZFS backups.

If a backup with the specified client request token exists and the parameters match, this operation returns the description of the existing backup. If a backup with the specified client request token exists and the parameters don't match, this operation returns IncompatibleParameterError. If a backup with the specified client request token doesn't exist, CreateBackup does the following:

• Creates a new Amazon FSx backup with an assigned ID, and an initial lifecycle state of CREATING.

• Returns the description of the backup.

By using the idempotent operation, you can retry a CreateBackup operation without the risk of creating an extra backup. This approach can be useful when an initial call fails in a way that makes it unclear whether a backup was created. If you use the same client request token and the initial call created a backup, the operation returns a successful result because all the parameters are the same.

The CreateBackup operation returns while the backup's lifecycle state is still CREATING. You can check the backup creation status by calling the DescribeBackups operation, which returns the backup state along with other information.
