      summary: Create Backup Access Point
      description: Creates a backup access point for an Amazon S3 recovery point. A backup access point provides on-demand, read-only access to the backup data in a recovery point through an Amazon S3 access point, without initiating a restore. While a backup access point is active for a recovery point, Backup pauses lifecycle transitions and blocks deletion of that recovery point.
