The details of the copy operation.

- DestinationBackupVaultArn
-
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the destination backup vault for the copied backup. For example,
arn:aws:backup:us-east-1:123456789012:backup-vault:aBackupVault
.Type: String
Required: Yes
- Lifecycle
-
Specifies the time period, in days, before a recovery point transitions to cold storage or is deleted.
Backups transitioned to cold storage must be stored in cold storage for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore, on the console, the retention setting must be 90 days greater than the transition to cold after days setting. The transition to cold after days setting can't 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. Amazon Backup ignores this expression for other resource types.
To remove the existing lifecycle and retention periods and keep your recovery points indefinitely, specify -1 for
MoveToColdStorageAfterDays
andDeleteAfterDays
.Type: Lifecycle object
Required: No
