create
******


Description
===========

Creates a new backup in the specified database based on the request
parameters you provide. If you previously used RMAN or dbcli to
configure backups and then you switch to using the Console or the API
for backups, a new backup configuration is created and associated with
your database. This means that you can no longer rely on your
previously configured unmanaged backups to work.


Usage
=====

   oci db backup create [OPTIONS]


Options
=======


--database-id [text]
--------------------

The OCID of the database. [required]


--display-name [text]
---------------------

The user-friendly name for the backup. The name does not have to be
unique. [required]


--wait-for-state [CREATING|ACTIVE|DELETING|DELETED|FAILED|RESTORING]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a
defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and
then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. If
timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other
error, a return code of 1 is returned.


--max-wait-seconds [integer]
----------------------------

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state
defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.


--wait-interval-seconds [integer]
---------------------------------

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource to see
if it has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state.
Defaults to 30 seconds.


--from-json [text]
------------------

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the
file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate
a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names
are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to
camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id --> compartmentId), while the
values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the
sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that
accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists
in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line
specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our "using CLI with
advanced JSON options" link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Conte
nt/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions
