Exports one backup snapshot for dedicated Atlas cluster using Cloud Backups to an Export Bucket. To use this resource, the requesting API Key must have the Project Atlas Admin role.
Path parameters
-
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.
NOTE: Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your group id is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.
Minimum length is
24
, maximum length is24
. Format should match the following pattern:^([a-f0-9]{24})$
. -
Human-readable label that identifies the cluster.
Minimum length is
1
, maximum length is64
. Format should match the following pattern:^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$

Query parameters
-
Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an

false
.
Body
Required
Information about the Cloud Backup Snapshot Export Job to create.
