backup

Variables

Name Description Type Default Required
NotifySlack Not needed: backup notifications are set up centrally when the AWS account is created. Sends backup success and failure events to a Slack channel. The webhook URL is read from the SSM parameter /<Environment>/slack/webhook/backup. The parameter is created with a placeholder value, so set the real URL after the first apply. map {"Enable": false} no
UseTagSelection Select resources to back up by tag: every resource tagged Environment=<Environment> is included in the backup plan. Resources tagged backup-enabled=false and the Datadog Lambda forwarder (from the datadog-common template) are excluded. bool true no
UseResourceSelection Select resources to back up by listing their ARNs explicitly, in the selection_resources local (override it in config_override.tf; defaults to an empty list). Can be combined with UseTagSelection. bool false no
