SecureBackup

Trigger this action to create a secure backup of the appliance configuration.

Use the HTTP POST method with the resource /mgmt/actionqueue/default, specifying a request payload with the following format:

{
  "SecureBackup": {
    "cert": {
      "value": "certificate"
    },
    "destination": "destination"
  }
}

certificate: String; The name of a certificate object in the system configuration, which identifies a crypto certificate that is used to encrypt the content of the backup. A certificate that contains ECDSA keys is not supported.
destination: String; The URL of a directory in which the backup files are written. If the directory is on a local file system, it is created automatically if it does not exist. The URL can be a local directory in either the local: or the temporary: directories on the appliance, or it can be a location on a remote FTP server.

Example

To create a secure backup in the temporary:///myBackupDir/ folder using the myCert certificate, post the following payload to https://yourhost:5554/mgmt/actionqueue/default:

{
  "SecureBackup": {
    "cert": {
      "value": "myCert"
    },
    "destination": "temporary:///myBackupDir/"
  }
}
