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:

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.
