Using the backups commands

You can use the backups commands to list the backups on your Developer Portal service.

  1. Log in as Cloud manager:
    apic login --server management_server --realm admin/identity_provider --username cloud_username --password cloud_password
    You can determine which identity provider to use in the --realm parameter by entering the following command to see a list of all available identity providers (you do not need to be logged in to use this command):
    apic identity-providers:list --scope admin --server mgmt_endpoint_url --fields title,realm
    For example:
    apic identity-providers:list --scope admin --server myserver.com --fields title,realm
    total_results: 2
    results:
      - title: Cloud Manager User Registry
        realm: admin/default-idp-1
      - title: Corporate LDAP user registry
        realm: admin/corporate-ldap
    The title value should enable you to determine which identity provider to use; you can then copy the corresponding --realm parameter directly from the displayed realm value. For any identity providers that were created by your administrator after API Connect was installed, the names will have been determined at creation time. The default Cloud Manager Local User Registry for login as a member of the cloud administration organization is default-idp-1.

    For full details of the apic login command, see Logging in to a management server.

  2. Get the availability zone of the portal service's backups that you want to list:
    apic availability-zones --org orgid/name --server management_server
  3. List all the portal services in that availability zone
    apic portal-services:list --org orgid/name --server management_server --availability-zone availability_zone
  4. Get the selected portal service's name
    apic portal-services:get --org orgid/name --server management_server --availability-zone availability_zone PORTAL-SERVICE-NAME
  5. List the backups of the portal service
    apic --mode portaladmin backups:list --server management_server --portal_service_name PORTAL-SERVICE-NAME --format json
