projectId
string
Required
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that holds the cluster with the backup configuration you want to change.
clusterId
string
Required

boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

Description
authMechanismName
string
Conditional

Authentication mechanism needed to connect to the sync source database. Cloud Manager requires this parameter if the sync store uses authentication. Cloud Manager accepts:

  • MONGODB_CR (This covers SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-256, and MONGODB-CR.)

  • GSSAPI

  • PLAIN

  • MONGODB_X509

  • NONE

excludedNamespaces
array of strings
Conditional

Note

Cloud Manager accepts this parameter for backup jobs running MongoDB FCV 4.0 or earlier. Cloud Manager ignores this parameter when backing up MongoDB databases running FCV 4.2 or later.

List of database and collection names to omit from the backup. Each string represents one namespace. Namespaces use the format of {database} or {database}.{collection}.

This parameter must meet the following conditions:

  • Cloud Manager accepts this parameter or includedNamespaces, not both.

  • Cloud Manager requires the new full list of excluded namespaces, including any already found in the array.

    • If your new list removes any namespaces from the existing array, set the syncSource parameter.

      • Removing an excluded namespace requires a full resync.

      • Without the syncSource parameter, the request fails.

    • If your new list only adds to the existing array, don't set syncSource.

password
string
Conditional
Password to use to connect to the sync source database. Cloud Manager requires this parameter when the sync store mongod instances require clients to authenticate.
preferredMember
string
Optional

Cluster member that a user designates as the preferred replica set member to create snapshots. You can set the preferred member using the console. View available replica set members that can act as a preferred member using the Get one backup config endpoint.

provisioned
boolean
Conditional
Flag that indicates if Cloud Manager has provisioned the resources needed to store a backup.
sslEnabled
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates if TLS is enabled for the sync source database.
statusName
string
Optional

Current (or desired) status of the backup configuration. Cloud Manager accepts:

  • INACTIVE

  • PROVISIONING

  • TERMINATING

storageEngineName
string
Optional

  • MEMORY_MAPPED

  • WIRED_TIGER

syncSource

Cloud Manager requires this parameter if "storageEngineName" : "WIRED_TIGER".

username
string
Conditional

Name of the user to use to connect to the sync source database. Cloud Manager requires this parameter when the sync store mongod instances require clients to authenticate.

Send this parameter to Cloud Manager when updating the backup configuration for a replica set or sharded cluster that Cloud Manager doesn't manage.

Type
Description
authMechanismName
string
Name of the authentication mechanism to use when connecting to the sync source database. Cloud Manager returns this parameter if the sync store uses authentication.

List of database names and collection names to include in the backup. Each string is a namespace in the form of {database} or {database}.{collection}.
links
object array

One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. All links arrays in responses include at least one link called self. The relationships between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.

projectId
string
