CreateVolumeBackup

post

/20160918/volumeBackups

Create a new backup of the specified volume. When the request is received, the backup object is in a REQUEST_RECEIVED state. When the data is imaged, the backup object goes into CREATING state. After the backup is fully uploaded to the cloud, the backup object goes into an AVAILABLE state.

Request

Supported Media Types

• application/json

Header Parameters

• opc-retry-token: string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 64

  A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).

Body ()

Request to create a new backup of given volume.
