Create One Legacy Backup Restore Job¶
On this page
MongoDB deprecated the Legacy Backup feature. Clusters that use Legacy Backup can continue to use it. MongoDB recommends using Cloud Backups. Effective 23 March 2020, all new clusters can only use Cloud Backups.
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.
Creates one restore job for the specified cluster.
This endpoint doesn't support the following:
- Creating checkpoint restore jobs for sharded clusters
- Creating restore jobs for queryable backup snapshots
If you create an automated restore job by specifying
delivery.methodName of AUTOMATED_RESTORE in your
request body, Atlas removes all existing data on the target
cluster prior to the restore.
The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas Administration API Access.
All requests to this endpoint must originate from an IP address in the organization's API access list.
Request¶
Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0
POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/restoreJobs
Request Parameters¶
Request Path Parameters¶
Path Parameter | Type | Necessity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GROUP-ID | string | Required | Unique identifier of the project that owns the
snapshots. |
CLUSTER-NAME | string | Required | Name of the cluster that contains the snapshots that you want to
retrieve. |
Request Query Parameters¶
This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.
Name | Type | Necessity | Description | Default | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
pretty | boolean | Optional | Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a
prettyprint format. | false | ||||||
envelope | boolean | Optional | Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope. This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:
| false |
