Resource Representations for Non-Key Resources

In this article

For non-key resources, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API provides a reference resource representation. The reference resource representation is used to identify the resource and its relations to other resources.

This type of representation provides the following data about the resource:

Basic resource information: its ID (if available), name, URL and type
Information about resources that are related to the current resource

For example, a reference representation for a credentials resource looks similar to the following:

<CredentialsInfo xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Credentials" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/ce15a8c7-aa49-495e-b05b-ee3398c91018/credentials/166d7ed7-5a47-4070-ad78-6a9c9966e52e">
