Viewing Volume Backups

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can view volume backups using the Compute Cloud@Customer Console, CLI, and API.

Backups that are created by backup policies (also called automatic or scheduled backups) can take up to five minutes to show in the backups list.

    1. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, select Block Storage, then select Block Volumes, Boot Volumes, or Volume Groups.

      Both automatic and manual backups are listed.

    2. If you don't see your backup listed, ensure you're viewing the correct compartment, which is displayed at the top of the page.

    3. To view the details of a backup, select the backup name.

  • Use the oci bv backup list command and required parameters to view the volume backups.

    oci bv backup list --compartment-id <Compartment_OCID> [OPTIONS]

    Use the oci bv backup get command and required parameters to view the details of a volume backup.

    oci bv volume-group-backup list --compartment-id <Compartment_OCID>

    When there are many volume backups, for example hundreds of backups, it can take a long time to list. The backup list commands support pagination of results. Use the --limit option to specify the number of backups to list. To show the next page of results, use the value of the opc-next-page property with the --page option. Specify the --limit option again for each new page command. Otherwise, all remaining resources are listed. When no opc-next-page property is shown, all results have been listed.

    By default, the list is shown in ascending order by display name, and the display name is case sensitive. You can change the list order to try to move specific resources closer to the top of the list. You can sort by (--sort-by) displayname or timecreated and set the sort order (--sort-order) to either asc (ascending) or desc (descending). The default sort order for timecreated is descending.

    For a complete list of CLI commands, flags, and options, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Use the ListVolumeBackups operation to view the volume backups.

    Use the GetVolumeBackup command and required parameters to view the details of a volume backup.
