   "BackupVaultTags": { 
      "string" : "string" 
   },

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

backupVaultName

A name for the vault.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-\_]{2,50}$

Required: Yes

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

BackupVaultTags

The tags to assign to the vault.

Type: String to string map

Required: No

CreatorRequestId

The ID of the creation request.

This parameter is optional. If used, this parameter must contain 1 to 50 alphanumeric or '-_.' characters.

Type: String

Required: No

MaxRetentionDays

The maximum retention period that the vault retains its recovery points. If this parameter is not specified, AWS Backup does not enforce a maximum retention period on the recovery points in the vault (allowing indefinite storage).

If specified, any backup or copy job to the vault must have a lifecycle policy with a retention period equal to or shorter than the maximum retention period. If the job retention period is longer than that maximum retention period, then the vault fails the backup or copy job, and you should either modify your lifecycle settings or use a different vault.

Type: Long

Required: Yes

MinRetentionDays

This setting specifies the minimum retention period that the vault retains its recovery points. If this parameter is not specified, no minimum retention period is enforced.

If specified, any backup or copy job to the vault must have a lifecycle policy with a retention period equal to or longer than the minimum retention period. If a job retention period is shorter than that minimum retention period, then the vault fails the backup or copy job, and you should either modify your lifecycle settings or use a different vault.

Type: Long

Required: Yes
