Copy a Cloud Bigtable backup to a new backup in the destination cluster located in the destination instance and project.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

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

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigtable.admin. You can set the scope for this method like this: bigtableadmin2 --scope <scope> projects instances-clusters-backups-copy ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The name of the destination cluster that will contain the backup copy. The cluster must already exists. Values are of the form: projects/{project}/instances/{instance}/clusters/{cluster}.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

CopyBackupRequest:
  backup-id: string
  expire-time: string
  source-backup: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . backup-id=ipsum
    • Required. The id of the new backup. The backup_id along with parent are combined as {parent}/backups/{backup_id} to create the full backup name, of the form: projects/{project}/instances/{instance}/clusters/{cluster}/backups/{backup_id}. This string must be between 1 and 50 characters in length and match the regex _a-zA-Z0-9*.
  • expire-time=invidunt
    • Required. Required. The expiration time of the copied backup with microsecond granularity that must be at least 6 hours and at most 30 days from the time the request is received. Once the expire_time has passed, Cloud Bigtable will delete the backup and free the resources used by the backup.
  • source-backup=amet
    • Required. The source backup to be copied from. The source backup needs to be in READY state for it to be copied. Copying a copied backup is not allowed. Once CopyBackup is in progress, the source backup cannot be deleted or cleaned up on expiration until CopyBackup is finished. Values are of the form: projects//instances//clusters//backups/.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
