Create One Cloud Backup Snapshot Export Job¶
On this page
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.
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.
Resource¶
https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0
POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/backup/exports/
Request Path Parameters¶
Path Parameter | Type | Necessity | Description |
---|---|---|---|
GROUP-ID | string | Required | Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the
project which contains the Atlas cluster
whose snapshot you want to export. |
CLUSTER-NAME | string | Required | Name of the Atlas cluster whose snapshot you want to
export. |
Request Query Parameters¶
This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.
Name | Type | Necessity | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
pageNum | integer | Optional | Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the
total number of objects. | 1 |
itemsPerPage | integer | Optional | Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum
of 500. | 100 |
includeCount | boolean | Optional | Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount
parameter in the response body. | true |
pretty | boolean | Optional | Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON
response in the
prettyprint format. | false |
envelope | boolean | Optional | Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or
status code. To remediate this, set Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body. | false |
Request Body Parameters¶
Name | Type | Necessity | Description |

snapshotId | string | Required | Unique identifier of the Cloud Backup snasphot to export. If
necessary, use the Get All Cloud Backups API to
retrieve the list of snapshot IDs for a cluster. |
exportBucketId | string | Required | Unique identifier of the AWS bucket to export the
Cloud Backup snasphot to. If necessary, use the Get
All Snapshot Export Buckets
API to retrieve the IDs of all available export buckets for a
project. |
customData | array of documents | Optional | Custom data to include in the metadata file named .complete
