This contains metadata about a restore testing plan.

Contents

RecoveryPointSelection

RecoveryPointSelection has five parameters (three required and two optional). The values you specify determine which recovery point is included in the restore test. You must indicate with Algorithm if you want the latest recovery point within your SelectionWindowDays or if you want a random recovery point, and you must indicate through IncludeVaults from which vaults the recovery points can be chosen.

Algorithm (required) Valid values: "LATEST_WITHIN_WINDOW" or "RANDOM_WITHIN_WINDOW".

Recovery point types (required) Valid values: "SNAPSHOT" and/or "CONTINUOUS". Include SNAPSHOT to restore only snapshot recovery points; include CONTINUOUS to restore continuous recovery points (point in time restore / PITR); use both to restore either a snapshot or a continuous recovery point. The recovery point will be determined by the value for Algorithm.

IncludeVaults (required). You must include one or more backup vaults. Use the wildcard ["*"] or specific ARNs.

SelectionWindowDays (optional) Value must be an integer (in days) from 1 to 365. If not included, the value defaults to 30.

ExcludeVaults (optional). You can choose to input one or more specific backup vault ARNs to exclude those vaults' contents from restore eligibility. Or, you can include a list of selectors. If this parameter and its value are not included, it defaults to empty list.
