RestoreTestingSelection

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS Backup RestoreTestingSelections using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The RestoreTestingSelection resource lets you manage AWS Backup RestoreTestingSelections to facilitate the testing of restore plans. This resource allows you to specify the resources you want to include in a restore test, as well as the conditions and metadata overrides necessary for the restore operation.

Minimal Example

Create a basic restore testing selection with required properties and one optional property.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";

const restoreTestingSelection = await AWS.Backup.RestoreTestingSelection("basicRestoreTest", {
  ProtectedResourceType: "EBS",
  RestoreTestingSelectionName: "TestEBSRestore",
  RestoreTestingPlanName: "DailyBackupPlan",
  IamRoleArn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/BackupRole"
});

Advanced Configuration

Configure a restore testing selection with additional optional properties like protected resource conditions and metadata overrides.

const advancedRestoreTestingSelection = await AWS.Backup.RestoreTestingSelection("advancedRestoreTest", {
  ProtectedResourceType: "EBS",
  RestoreTestingSelectionName: "AdvancedTestEBSRestore",
  RestoreTestingPlanName: "WeeklyBackupPlan",
  IamRoleArn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/BackupRole",
  ProtectedResourceConditions: {
    "BackupVaultName": "MyBackupVault",
    "ResourceTags": {
      "Environment": "Production"
    }
  },
  RestoreMetadataOverrides: {
    "TargetInstanceType": "t2.micro",
    "VolumeSize": 20
  }
});

Resource ARN Example

Demonstrate how to retrieve the ARN of the created restore testing selection after creation.

const createdSelection = await AWS.Backup.RestoreTestingSelection("arnExample", {
  ProtectedResourceType: "RDS",
  RestoreTestingSelectionName: "TestRDSRestore",
  RestoreTestingPlanName: "MonthlyBackupPlan",
  IamRoleArn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/BackupRole"
});

console.log(`Created Restore Testing Selection ARN: ${createdSelection.Arn}`);

Validation Window Configuration

Define a restore testing selection with a specific validation window period.

const validationWindowTest = await AWS.Backup.RestoreTestingSelection("validationWindowTest", {
  ProtectedResourceType: "DynamoDB",
  RestoreTestingSelectionName: "ValidationTestDynamoDBRestore",
  RestoreTestingPlanName: "DynamoDBBackupPlan",
  IamRoleArn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/BackupRole",
  ValidationWindowHours: 24
});
