The command aws backup create-backup-plan --backup-plan ${plan} is a CLI (Command-Line Interface) command for the AWS Backup service.

In this command:

  • aws backup is the AWS CLI command for the AWS Backup service, which provides centralized backup services for various AWS services.
  • create-backup-plan is the action that creates a backup plan.
  • --backup-plan specifies the backup plan JSON document or file to be used for creating the backup plan. ${plan} is a placeholder or variable that represents the name or location of the backup plan document.

The create-backup-plan command is used to create a backup plan within AWS Backup. Backup plans define the schedule, retention policy, and backup rules for protecting AWS resources. By specifying the --backup-plan option with the path to a backup plan JSON document, you can create a backup plan using the provided configuration.

Before executing this command, make sure you have the AWS CLI installed and configured with the appropriate credentials. Additionally, ensure that the --backup-plan option is pointing to a valid backup plan document or file for successful creation of the backup plan.
