Response Description

An array of backup objects. Backup objects contain the following fields:

id - Long - The ID of the backup.
configuration_id - Long - The ID of the configuration. This will always be 1. See the Backup Configuration APIs for more information:
- api/config/backup_and_restore/scheduled_backup_configurations
- api/staged_config/backup_and_restore/scheduled_backup_configurations
host_id - Long - The host that corresponds with the backup. For more information, see the following Hosts API:
- api/config/deployment/hosts
name - String - The name of the backup.
description - String - An optional description of the backup.
type - Enumeration - The backup type. The following values are available: CONFIG, DATA.
version - String - The QRadar version that corresponds to the backup.
time_initiated - Long - The number of milliseconds since epoch when the backup was started.

initiated_by - String - The user or authorized service that started the backup.
status - Enumeration - The status of the backup. The following values are available: INITIALIZING, IN_PROGRESS, FAILED, SUCCESS, CANCELLING, DELETING, MISSING.
- INITIALIZING: The initial state of the backup when it is created. In this state a backup object is created and a request to the Backup and Restore Engine is sent.
- IN_PROGRESS: When the backup request is received by the Backup and Restore Engine, the status is updated IN_PROGRESS.
- FAILED: If the backup has completed with errors, the status is updated to FAILED.
- SUCCESS: If the backup has completed without errors, the status is updated to SUCCESS.
- CANCELLING: CANCELLING: If a request is sent from the API to delete a backup that is in progress, after the request is received by the Backup and Restore Engine, the backup status is updated to CANCELLING.
- DELETING: If a request is sent to delete a backup, after the request is received by the Backup and Restore Engine the backup status is updated to DELETING. The backup record, along with the backup file, is deleted.

- The backup and the host product names do not match.
- The backup and the host appliance names do not match.
