Example 1: Creating an ECS Backup

Scenarios

You can back up resources including cloud servers and disks. This section uses an ECS as an example to describe how to create a cloud server backup by calling APIs. For details on how to call APIs, see Calling APIs.

Involved APIs

To create a cloud server backup, you need to create a vault for storing backups, associate the target server with the vault, and then back up the server. The following APIs are required:

Creating a Vault: Create a container for storing backups.
Associating Resources: Determine the cloud server or disk to be backed up.
Creating a Restore PointCreating a Restore Point: Create a backup.
Querying a Restore Point: Confirm that a backup has been created.

Procedure

Create a vault.

Create a vault with simple configurations.

API
URI format: POST /v3/{project_id}/vaults

For details, see Creating a Vault.

Sample request

POST: https://{endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/vaults

Obtain the value of {endpoint} from Regions and Endpoints.

Associate a server or disk with the vault.
1. Associate resources.
  - API
    URI format: POST /v3/{project_id}/vaults/{vault_id}/addresources
    
    For details, see Associating Resources.
  - Sample request
    POST: https://{endpoint}/v3/0605767b5780d5762fc5c0118072a564 /vaults/ea7b8717-2543-478a-a92d-3ca7ee448f67/addresources
    
    Obtain the value of {endpoint} from Regions and Endpoints.
    
    Body:
```
{
    "resources": [{
           "id": "e8cc6bfd-d324-4b88-9109-9fb0ba70676f",
           "type": "OS::Nova::Server",
           "name": "server-4690-0002" 
    }]
}
```
  - Sample response
```
{
    "add_resource_ids": [
        "e8cc6bfd-d324-4b88-9109-9fb0ba70676f"
    ]
}
```
2. In the request body, select the ID of an ECS that is in the Running state and has not been associated with a vault.

Create a restore point.
