» oci_core_boot_volume_backup

This resource provides the Boot Volume Backup resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Core service.

Creates a new boot volume backup of the specified boot volume. For general information about boot volume backups, see Overview of Boot Volume Backups

When the request is received, the backup object is in a REQUEST_RECEIVED state. When the data is imaged, it goes into a CREATING state. After the backup is fully uploaded to the cloud, it goes into an AVAILABLE state.

» Example Usage 

resource "oci_core_boot_volume_backup" "test_boot_volume_backup" {
    #Required
    boot_volume_id = "${oci_core_boot_volume.test_boot_volume.id}"

    #Optional
    defined_tags = {"Operations.CostCenter"= "42"}
    display_name = "${var.boot_volume_backup_display_name}"
    freeform_tags = {"Department"= "Finance"}
    type = "${var.boot_volume_backup_type}"
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • boot_volume_id - (Required) The OCID of the boot volume that needs to be backed up.
  • defined_tags - (Optional) (Updatable) Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: {"Operations.CostCenter": "42"}
  • display_name - (Optional) (Updatable) A user-friendly name for the boot volume backup. Does not have to be unique and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.
  • freeform_tags - (Optional) (Updatable) Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: {"Department": "Finance"}
  • type - (Optional) The type of backup to create. If omitted, defaults to incremental.

** IMPORTANT ** Any change to a property that does not support update will force the destruction and recreation of the resource with the new property values

» Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

  • boot_volume_id - The OCID of the boot volume.
  • compartment_id - The OCID of the compartment that contains the boot volume backup.
  • defined_tags - Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: {"Operations.CostCenter": "42"}
  • display_name - A user-friendly name for the boot volume backup. Does not have to be unique and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.
  • expiration_time - The date and time the volume backup will expire and be automatically deleted. Format defined by RFC3339. This parameter will always be present for backups that were created automatically by a scheduled-backup policy. For manually created backups, it will be absent, signifying that there is no expiration time and the backup will last forever until manually deleted.
  • freeform_tags - Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: {"Department": "Finance"}
  • id - The OCID of the boot volume backup.
  • image_id - The image OCID used to create the boot volume the backup is taken from.
  • size_in_gbs - The size of the boot volume, in GBs.
  • source_type - Specifies whether the backup was created manually, or via scheduled backup policy.
  • state - The current state of a boot volume backup.
  • time_created - The date and time the boot volume backup was created. This is the time the actual point-in-time image of the volume data was taken. Format defined by RFC3339.
  • time_request_received - The date and time the request to create the boot volume backup was received. Format defined by RFC3339.
  • type - The type of a volume backup. Supported values are 'FULL' or 'INCREMENTAL'.
  • unique_size_in_gbs - The size used by the backup, in GBs. It is typically smaller than size_in_gbs, depending on the space consumed on the boot volume and whether the backup is full or incremental.

» Import

BootVolumeBackups can be imported using the id, e.g.
