rds-restore-db-instance-to-point-in-time - Create a new database instance from a source
instance at a specified time

SYNOPSIS

rds-restore-db-instance-to-point-in-time
TargetDBInstanceIdentifier --source-db-instance-identifier value
[--auto-minor-version-upgrade value ] [--availability-zone value ]
[--db-instance-class value ] [--db-name value ]
[--db-subnet-group-name value ] [--engine value ] [--iops value ]
[--license-model value ] [--multi-az value ] [--option-group value ]
[--port value ] [--restore-time value ] [--use-latest-restorable-time
] [General Options]

DESCRIPTION

Creates a new database instance with the data contained by the
source instance at the specified restore time. This is possible
only if there is an existing system snapshot which was created
prior to the requested restore time. System snapshots are
created daily during the backup window and are retained for a
number of days equal to the backup retention period. No system
snapshots will be taken for instances whose backup retention
period is zero. Some characteristics of the new database
instance can be modified via optional parameters; if these are
omitted, the new restored database instance will default to the
characteristics of the instance from which the snapshot was taken.

ARGUMENTS

TargetDBInstanceIdentifier
User-supplied database instance identifier. Uniquely
identifies the database instance to be created. The
identifier must be 1 to 63 alphanumeric characters or
hyphens, and case will not be not preserved. You can also set this value
using "--target-db-instance-identifier". Required.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

-au, --auto-minor-version-upgrade VALUE
Whether minor version upgrades will automatically be applied to the
database instance during its maintenance window.

-c, --db-instance-class VALUE
The compute and memory capacity of the database Instance.

-e, --engine VALUE
Engine to be used for the instance.

--iops VALUE
Provisioned storage I/O operations per second for the instance. If this
parameter is not specified, the value will be copied from the original
instance. If this parameter is set to 0 (zero), the new instance will not
have Provisioned IOPS.

-l, --use-latest-restorable-time
May be specified instead of --restore-time, resulting
in the instance being restored to the latest time for
which backups are available. This time can be viewed with
rds-describe-db-instances. The default value is 'false'.

-lm, --license-model VALUE
License model to be used for the instance.

-m, --multi-az VALUE
Whether the instance will run as a Multi-AZ DB deployment. Boolean value,
default is 'false'.

-n, --db-name VALUE
DB name to be used for the instance.

-og, --option-group VALUE
The name of the option group that should be associated with this
instance.

-p, --port VALUE
Port number on which the database accepts
connections. Default will be the port of the database instance from which
the snapshot was taken.

-r, --restore-time VALUE
The date and time to restore to. This time must be in
the past, and it must be after the creation of the
oldest remaining system snapshot.

-s, --source-db-instance-identifier VALUE
User-supplied database instance identifier. The id of
the instance to restore from. Must be available and
must have point-in-time restore enabled (i.e., a
nonzero backup retention period). Required.

-sn, --db-subnet-group-name VALUE
The DB Subnet Group name will be associated with the restored DB
instance.

-z, --availability-zone VALUE
The EC2 Availability Zone name the database will be
created in. Default: System chosen (random)
availability zone. Example: us-east-1c.

GENERAL OPTIONS

--aws-credential-file VALUE
Location of the file with your AWS credentials. Must not be specified in
conjunction with --ec2-cert-file-path or --ec2-private-key-file-path.
This value can be set by using the environment variable
'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

-C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
Path to AWS X.509 certificate file. Must be specified in conjunction with
--ec2-private-key-file-path and must not be specified in conjunction with
--aws-credential-file. This value can be set by using the environment
variable 'EC2_CERT'.

--connection-timeout VALUE
Specify a connection timeout VALUE (in seconds) for API calls. The
default value is '30'.

--debug
If an error occurs while --debug is used, it will display information
useful for debugging the problem. The default value is 'false'.

--delimiter VALUE
What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

--headers
If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

-I, --access-key-id VALUE
Specify the AWS Access ID to use.

-K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
Path to AWS X.509 private key file. Must be specified in conjunction with
--ec2-cert-file-path and must not be specified in conjunction with
--aws-credential-file. This value can be set by using the environment
variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

--region VALUE
Specify region VALUE as the web service region to use. This value can be
set by using the environment variable 'EC2_REGION'.

-S, --secret-key VALUE
Specify the AWS Secret Key to use.

--service-sig-name VALUE
Specify the service name to use when signing requests. The default is
"rds". This value can be set by using the environment variable
'SERVICE_SIG_NAME'.

--show-empty-fields
Show empty fields and rows, using a "(nil)" value. The default is to not
show empty fields or columns.

--show-request
Displays the URL used by the tools to call the AWS Service. The default
value is 'false'.

--show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
Specify how the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long), xml, or
no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
by a character. The xml is the raw return from the service, while quiet
suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

-U, --url VALUE
This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
value can be set by using the environment variable 'RDS_URL'.

INPUT EXAMPLES

Restores an instance 'restored-db' to the state 'source-db' was in at
1:00 PM on July 31, 2009, using the minimal set of arguments
arguments (source instance ID, target instance ID, restore time):

$PROMPT>rds-restore-db-instance-to-point-in-time restored-db -s source-db -r
2009-07-31T13:00:00Z

Restores an instance in a different availability zone than the original.

$PROMPT>rds-restore-db-instance-to-point-in-time restored-db -s source-db -r
2009-07-31T13:00:00Z -z us-east-1b

Same as the example above, but uses full-length flag names.

$PROMPT>rds-restore-db-instance-to-point-in-time --target-db-instance-identifier
restored-db --source-db-instance-identifier source-db --restore-time 2009-07-31T13:00:00Z
--availability-zone us-east-1b
