AWS Backup service sample scripts

Introduction to AWS Backup service

There are mainly 2 shell scripts to create and delete an EFS backup using AWS Backup CLI :

1. my-app-aws-backup-plan-create.sh executes below steps

   a. Create a backup vault

   -> Creates a backup vault using my-app-backup-vault-create.json

   -> Values to be replaced : <aws_region>, <aws_account_id>, <key_id>

   b. Create a backup plan and store id into local variable

   -> Creates a backup plan using my-app-backup-plan-create.json

   -> This plan schedules backup daily at 9 AM (using cron expression : "cron(0 9 ? * * *)") and retains for 1 day

   c. Update the plan id in the respective json files

   -> Updates the generated plan_id into respective json files (for backup_selection create and delete operations)

   d. Create a backup selection with given resources and store id into local variable

   -> Adds AWS resources for the backup to be taken (In this case, EFS)

   -> Values to be replaced : <aws_region>, <aws_account_id>, <efs_id>

   e. Store backup selection id in respective json files

   -> Stores the generated backup_selection_id in the respective json file (for backup_selection delete operation)

2. my-app-aws-backup-plan-delete.sh (to undo the create operations in reverse order) executes belows steps

   -> All the values are replaced by the create scripts, hence no need to replace anything in these scripts.

   a. Delete backup selection

   -> Using the json file : EFS-backup-selection-delete.json

   b. Delete backup plan

   -> Using the json file : my-app-backup-plan-delete.json

   c. Delete backup vault

   -> Using json file : my-app-backup-vault-delete.json
