Create a Volume Group Backup

post

/20160918/volumeGroupBackups

Create a new backup volume group of the specified volume group.

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 group of given volume group.
