Listing Instance Backups

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can list instance backups using the Compute Cloud@Customer Console and API.

When you list instance backups, you are able to identify these components of the backup:

  • Backup OCID

  • Boot volume OCID

  • Instance OCID

  • Image OCID

    1. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, click Compute, then click any of the following links.

      • Instance Exports: Displays the list of instance backups.
      • Instance Imports: Displays the list of imported instance backups that can be used to create new instances.

  • This task can't be performed using the CLI.

  • There are two API endpoints for viewing instance backups:

    • List All Instance Backups in a Bucket.

      API endpoint 

      https://<mgmt_node_VIP>:30003/20160918/instances/instanceBackups?compartmentId=<bucket_compartment_OCID>

      where:

      • <mgmt_node_VIP> is the management node VIP host name or IP address.

      • <bucket_compartment_OCID> is the compartment ID where the Object Storage bucket is located.

    • Get Instance Backup Details

      API endpoint 

      https://<mgmt_node_VIP>:30003/20160918/instanceBackups/<instance_backup_id>

      where:

      • <mgmt_node_VIP> is the management node VIP host name or IP address.

      • <instance_backup_id> is the backup ID, which you can get from the backup export output or from listing backups with the API.
