I have a backup plan:
{
"BackupPlan": {
"BackupPlanName": "prometheus_dev",
"Rules": [
{
"RuleName": "prometheus_dev",
"TargetBackupVaultName": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"ScheduleExpression": "cron(15 * ? * * *)",

"DestinationBackupVaultArn": "arn:aws:backup:eu-west-1:614797193252:backup-vault:xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
],

}
]
},
"BackupPlanId": "830e8bb0-e3c6-4a96-8fe9-45a3ab97de40",

"LastExecutionDate": "2023-10-20T11:16:48.451000+02:00"
}
The file system is protected:
{

"ResourceType": "EFS",
"LastBackupTime": "2023-10-20T11:22:48.159000+02:00",
"ResourceName": "prometheus_dev"
}
And backups are taken hourly:

// ...
The problem is that ALL recovery points are empty, even if the file system is not:
{
// ...
"SizeInBytes": {
"Value": 67465216,
"Timestamp": "2023-10-20T10:41:44+02:00",
"ValueInIA": 0,
"ValueInStandard": 67465216
}
// ...
}
I've also tried to start a backup job:
aws backup start-backup-job \
--backup-vault-name prometheus_eu_central_1_dev \
--resource-arn arn:aws:elasticfilesystem:eu-central-1:614797193252:file-system/fs-0318e5506f10caf1e \
--iam-role-arn arn:aws:iam::614797193252:role/xxxxxxxxxxxx
Which produced the following response:
{
"BackupJobId": "7a010939-11cd-4d6f-bf2e-bbec0fc50452",
"RecoveryPointArn": "arn:aws:backup:eu-central-1:614797193252:recovery-point:ac338f60-9a4e-4c24-817e-2e0e15a72d03",
"CreationDate": "2023-10-20T11:22:48.159000+02:00",
"IsParent": false
}
But again the backup is empty:
{
"AccountId": "614797193252",
"BackupJobId": "7a010939-11cd-4d6f-bf2e-bbec0fc50452",
"BackupVaultName": "prometheus_eu_central_1_dev",

}
Why are these backups empty?
