The /backup/exports resource enables you to export one backup snapshot for an M10 or higher Atlas cluster with Cloud Backups enabled to an AWS bucket.

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.

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 Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

GROUP-ID
string
Required
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project which contains the Atlas cluster whose snapshot you want to export.

Name of the Atlas cluster whose snapshot you want to export.

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.
