/AWS1/CL_FSX=>DESCRIBEBACKUPS()

About DescribeBackups

Returns the description of a specific Amazon FSx backup, if a BackupIds value is provided for that backup. Otherwise, it returns all backups owned by your Amazon Web Services account in the Amazon Web Services Region of the endpoint that you're calling.

When retrieving all backups, you can optionally specify the MaxResults parameter to limit the number of backups in a response. If more backups remain, Amazon FSx returns a NextToken value in the response. In this case, send a later request with the NextToken request parameter set to the value of the NextToken value from the last response.

This operation is used in an iterative process to retrieve a list of your backups. DescribeBackups is called first without a NextToken value. Then the operation continues to be called with the NextToken parameter set to the value of the last NextToken value until a response has no NextToken value.

When using this operation, keep the following in mind:

  • The operation might return fewer than the MaxResults value of backup descriptions while still including a NextToken value.

  • The order of the backups returned in the response of one DescribeBackups call and the order of the backups returned across the responses of a multi-call iteration is unspecified.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Optional arguments:

IT_BACKUPIDS TYPE /AWS1/CL_FSXBACKUPIDS_W=>TT_BACKUPIDS TT_BACKUPIDS

The IDs of the backups that you want to retrieve. This parameter value overrides any filters. If any IDs aren't found, a BackupNotFound error occurs.

IT_FILTERS TYPE /AWS1/CL_FSXFILTER=>TT_FILTERS TT_FILTERS

The filters structure. The supported names are file-system-id, backup-type, file-system-type, and volume-id.

IV_MAXRESULTS TYPE /AWS1/FSXMAXRESULTS /AWS1/FSXMAXRESULTS

Maximum number of backups to return in the response. This parameter value must be greater than 0. The number of items that Amazon FSx returns is the minimum of the MaxResults parameter specified in the request and the service's internal maximum number of items per page.

IV_NEXTTOKEN TYPE /AWS1/FSXNEXTTOKEN /AWS1/FSXNEXTTOKEN

An opaque pagination token returned from a previous DescribeBackups operation. If a token is present, the operation continues the list from where the returning call left off.
