Backup Selections in Netbackup API

Hello everyone,

I want to take backup selections of a server via netbackup api. Anyone know how I can do it?

Thanks.

    ef_akyazan I dont think there is a separate API just to fetch the backup selections. You can still do GET method to display a policy and filter the backup selection

    you can use GET /config/policies/{policyName} API 

     
    Hope it helps.

    Hi ef_akyazan 

    I don't mean to be rude - but have you looked at the API documentation (available on the master https://<master>/api-docs)?

    The API call would be /config/policies/{policy name}/backupselections. You need to assemble the data payload for what you want to back up. If there is a selection you don't require (such as NAS, or cloudObjects) simply remove the section or leave it blank. 

    Cheers
    David

      Hello davidmoline ,

      I have already reviewed the api document you mentioned.

      The put method is used in /config/policies/{policy name}/backupselections and it is used to change a policy ("Replaces the existing backup selections with the specified list of backup selections."). I just want to display with get method.

      Thanks.
