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

ByCompleteAfter

Returns only backup jobs completed after a date expressed in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

ByCompleteBefore

Returns only backup jobs completed before a date expressed in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

ByCreatedAfter

Returns only backup jobs that were created after the specified date.

ByCreatedBefore

Returns only backup jobs that were created before the specified date.

ByMessageCategory

This is an optional parameter that can be used to filter out jobs with a MessageCategory which matches the value you input.

Example strings may include AccessDenied, SUCCESS, AGGREGATE_ALL, and InvalidParameters.

View Monitoring

The wildcard () returns count of all message categories.

AGGREGATE_ALL aggregates job counts for all message categories and returns the sum.

ByParentJobId

This is a filter to list child (nested) jobs based on parent job ID.

ByResourceArn

Returns only backup jobs that match the specified resource Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

ByResourceType

Returns only backup jobs for the specified resources:

Aurora for Amazon Aurora

ByState

Returns only backup jobs that are in the specified state.

Completed with issues is a status found only in the AWS Backup console. For API, this status refers to jobs with a state of COMPLETED and a MessageCategory with a value other than SUCCESS; that is, the status is completed but comes with a status message.

To obtain the job count for Completed with issues, run two GET requests, and subtract the second, smaller number:

GET /backup-jobs/?state=COMPLETED

GET /backup-jobs/?messageCategory=SUCCESS&state=COMPLETED

MaxResults

The maximum number of items to be returned.

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 1000.

NextToken

The next item following a partial list of returned items. For example, if a request is made to return MaxResults number of items, NextToken allows you to return more items in your list starting at the location pointed to by the next token.

Request Body

The request does not have a request body.
