BackupPlan

Source: src/AWS/Backup/BackupPlan.ts

An AWS Backup plan — a policy expression that defines when and how you want to back up your resources, composed of one or more scheduled rules that each target a backup vault.

Pair a plan with a BackupSelection to assign the AWS resources it protects.

Creating a Plan

Daily backups retained for 30 days

import * as Backup from "alchemy/AWS/Backup";

const vault = yield* Backup.BackupVault("AppBackups");

const plan = yield* Backup.BackupPlan("DailyPlan", {
  rules: [
    {
      ruleName: "DailyBackups",
      targetBackupVaultName: vault.backupVaultName,
      scheduleExpression: "cron(0 5 ? * * *)",
      startWindow: "1 hour",
      completionWindow: "3 hours",
      lifecycle: { deleteAfter: "30 days" },
    },
  ],
});

Move to cold storage then delete

const plan = yield* Backup.BackupPlan("ArchivePlan", {
  rules: [
    {
      ruleName: "MonthlyArchive",
      targetBackupVaultName: vault.backupVaultName,
      scheduleExpression: "cron(0 5 1 * ? *)",
      lifecycle: {
        moveToColdStorageAfter: "30 days",
        deleteAfter: "365 days",
      },
    },
  ],
});
