Create Snapshot from Volume Recovery Point

storagegateway_create_snapshot_from_volume_recovery_point

R Documentation

Initiates a snapshot of a gateway from a volume recovery point¶

Description¶

Initiates a snapshot of a gateway from a volume recovery point. This operation is only supported in the cached volume gateway type.

A volume recovery point is a point in time at which all data of the volume is consistent and from which you can create a snapshot. To get a list of volume recovery point for cached volume gateway, use list_volume_recovery_points.

In the create_snapshot_from_volume_recovery_point request, you identify the volume by providing its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You must also provide a description for the snapshot. When the gateway takes a snapshot of the specified volume, the snapshot and its description appear in the Storage Gateway console. In response, the gateway returns you a snapshot ID. You can use this snapshot ID to check the snapshot progress or later use it when you want to create a volume from a snapshot.

To list or delete a snapshot, you must use the Amazon EC2 API. For more information, see DescribeSnapshots or DeleteSnapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud API Reference.

Usage¶

storagegateway_create_snapshot_from_volume_recovery_point(VolumeARN,
  SnapshotDescription, Tags)

Arguments¶

VolumeARN

[required] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the iSCSI volume target. Use the describe_storedi_scsi_volumes operation to return to retrieve the TargetARN for specified VolumeARN.

SnapshotDescription

[required] Textual description of the snapshot that appears in the Amazon EC2 console, Elastic Block Store snapshots panel in the Description field, and in the Storage Gateway snapshot Details pane, Description field.

Tags

A list of up to 50 tags that can be assigned to a snapshot. Each tag is a key-value pair.

Valid characters for key and value are letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8 format, and the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @. The maximum length of a tag's key is 128 characters, and the maximum length for a tag's value is 256.

Value¶

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  SnapshotId = "string",
  VolumeARN = "string",
  VolumeRecoveryPointTime = "string"
)

Request syntax¶

svc$create_snapshot_from_volume_recovery_point(
  VolumeARN = "string",
  SnapshotDescription = "string",
  Tags = list(
    list(
      Key = "string",
      Value = "string"
    )
  )
)
