## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-backup-backupplan-advancedbackupsettingresourcetype-properties"></a>

`BackupOptions`  <a name="cfn-backup-backupplan-advancedbackupsettingresourcetype-backupoptions"></a>
The backup option for the resource. Each option is a key-value pair. This option is only available for Windows VSS backup jobs.  
Valid values:   
Set to `"WindowsVSS":"enabled"` to enable the `WindowsVSS` backup option and create a Windows VSS backup.   
Set to `"WindowsVSS":"disabled"` to create a regular backup. The `WindowsVSS` option is not enabled by default.  
If you specify an invalid option, you get an `InvalidParameterValueException` exception.
