Method: projects.instances.backups.copy

Starts copying a Cloud Spanner Backup. The returned backup long-running operation will have a name of the format projects/<project>/instances/<instance>/backups/<backup>/operations/<operationId> and can be used to track copying of the backup. The operation is associated with the destination backup. The metadata field type is CopyBackupMetadata. The response field type is Backup, if successful. Cancelling the returned operation will stop the copying and delete the destination backup. Concurrent backups.copy requests can run on the same source backup.

HTTP request

POST https://spanner.googleapis.com/v1/{parent=projects/*/instances/*}/backups:copy

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
parent

string

Required. The name of the destination instance that will contain the backup copy. Values are of the form: projects/<project>/instances/<instance>.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource parent:

  • spanner.backups.create

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation 
{
  "backupId": string,
  "sourceBackup": string,
  "expireTime": string,
  "encryptionConfig": {
    object (CopyBackupEncryptionConfig)
  }
}
Fields
backupId

string

Required. The id of the backup copy. The backupId appended to parent forms the full backup_uri of the form projects/<project>/instances/<instance>/backups/<backup>.
sourceBackup

string

Required. The source backup to be copied. The source backup needs to be in READY state for it to be copied. Once backups.copy is in progress, the source backup cannot be deleted or cleaned up on expiration until backups.copy is finished. Values are of the form: projects/<project>/instances/<instance>/backups/<backup>.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource sourceBackup:

  • spanner.backups.copy
expireTime

string (Timestamp format)

Required. The expiration time of the backup in microsecond granularity. The expiration time must be at least 6 hours and at most 366 days from the createTime of the source backup. Once the expireTime has passed, the backup is eligible to be automatically deleted by Cloud Spanner to free the resources used by the backup.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
encryptionConfig

object (CopyBackupEncryptionConfig)

Optional. The encryption configuration used to encrypt the backup. If this field is not specified, the backup will use the same encryption configuration as the source backup by default, namely encryptionType = USE_CONFIG_DEFAULT_OR_BACKUP_ENCRYPTION.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.

Authorization Scopes

Requires one of the following OAuth scopes:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spanner.admin
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform

For more information, see the Authentication Overview.

IAM Permissions

Requires the following IAM permission on the parent resource:

  • spanner.backups.create

Requires the following IAM permission on the sourceBackup resource:

  • spanner.backups.copy

For more information, see the IAM documentation.

CopyBackupEncryptionConfig

Encryption configuration for the copied backup.

JSON representation 
{
  "encryptionType": enum (EncryptionType),
  "kmsKeyName": string
}
Fields
encryptionType

enum (EncryptionType)

Required. The encryption type of the backup.
kmsKeyName

string

Optional. The Cloud KMS key that will be used to protect the backup. This field should be set only when encryptionType is CUSTOMER_MANAGED_ENCRYPTION. Values are of the form projects/<project>/locations/<location>/keyRings/<key_ring>/cryptoKeys/<kmsKeyName>.

EncryptionType

Encryption types for the backup.

Enums
ENCRYPTION_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified. Do not use.
USE_CONFIG_DEFAULT_OR_BACKUP_ENCRYPTION This is the default option for backups.copy when encryptionConfig is not specified. For example, if the source backup is using Customer_Managed_Encryption, the backup will be using the same Cloud KMS key as the source backup.
GOOGLE_DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION Use Google default encryption.
CUSTOMER_MANAGED_ENCRYPTION Use customer managed encryption. If specified, kmsKeyName must contain a valid Cloud KMS key.
