Fsx resources protected by backup plan remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of not having a backup plan for FSx on AWS EC2 using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

Install and Configure AWS CLI: If you haven’t already installed and configured the AWS CLI, you can do so by following the instructions provided in the AWS documentation: Installing the AWS CLI and Configuring the AWS CLI.
Enable Backup for FSx File Systems: You can enable backup for your FSx file systems using the AWS CLI by running the following command:
```
aws fsx update-file-system --file-system-id fs-1234567890abcdef0 --backup-id backup-0abcdef1234567890 --windows-configuration AutomaticBackupRetentionDays=30,ThroughputCapacity=8
```
Replace fs-1234567890abcdef0 with the ID of your FSx file system and backup-0abcdef1234567890 with the ID of the backup you want to associate with the file system. You can adjust the AutomaticBackupRetentionDays and ThroughputCapacity values as needed.
Verify Backup Configuration: To ensure that backup has been successfully enabled for your FSx file system, you can run the following command:
```
aws fsx describe-file-systems --file-system-ids fs-1234567890abcdef0
```
This command will provide detailed information about your FSx file system, including its backup configuration.
Automate Backup Scheduling (Optional): If you want to automate the scheduling of backups for your FSx file system, you can create a backup policy using the AWS CLI. Here is an example command to create a backup policy:
```
aws fsx create-backup-policy --file-system-id fs-1234567890abcdef0 --daily-backup-start-time 01:00:00 --automatic-backup-retention-days 30
```
This command will create a backup policy for the specified file system that triggers a daily backup at 01:00:00 UTC and retains the backups for 30 days.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of not having a backup plan for FSx on AWS EC2 using the AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of not having a backup plan for FSx in AWS, you can create a backup plan using Python Boto3 library. Here are the step-by-step instructions to remediate this issue:

Install Boto3 library:
```
pip install boto3
```
Configure AWS credentials: Ensure that you have configured your AWS credentials either by setting environment variables or using AWS CLI aws configure command.
Use the following Python script to create a backup plan for FSx in AWS EC2:

import boto3

def remediate_efs_resources_backup_plan(file_system_arns, backup_vault_name):
    # Initialize AWS Backup client
    backup_client = boto3.client('backup')

    # Create a backup plan for the specified EFS file systems
    response = backup_client.create_backup_plan(
        BackupPlan={
            'BackupPlanName': 'YourBackupPlanName',
            'BackupPlanRule': {
                'RuleName': 'DefaultRule',
                'TargetBackupVaultName': backup_vault_name,
                'ScheduleExpression': 'cron(0 0 * * ? *)',  # Example: Daily backup at midnight
                'StartWindowMinutes': 60,
                'CompletionWindowMinutes': 60,
            },
            'AdvancedBackupSettings': [
                {
                    'BackupOptions': {
                        'WindowsVSS': False,
                        'BackupMode': 'FULL',
                        'FileSystemLifecycle': 'SYSTEM'
                    },
                    'ResourceType': 'EFS'
                }
            ]
        }
    )

    print("Backup plan created successfully.")

def main():
    # Specify the ARNs of the EFS file systems to protect
    file_system_arns = ['your-file-system-arn1', 'your-file-system-arn2']

    # Specify the name of the backup vault
    backup_vault_name = 'your-backup-vault-name'

    # Remediate EFS resources by creating a backup plan
    remediate_efs_resources_backup_plan(file_system_arns, backup_vault_name)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Replace 'your-file-system-arn1', 'your-file-system-arn2' with the ARNs of the EFS file systems you want to protect, and 'your-backup-vault-name' with the name of the backup vault where backups will be stored. This script creates a backup plan for the specified EFS file systems, ensuring they are protected by backups according to the specified schedule and retention policy. Adjust the backup plan settings as needed.
