Versioning
The Veeam Backup for AWS REST API is available in multiple versions. To work with resources available in a particular version of the REST API specification, you must specify the version in the x-api-version header. For example, to obtain information on EFS backup policies using the latest Veeam Backup for AWS REST API specification, send the following HTTP request to the backup appliance:
Request: GET https://127.0.0.1:11005/api/v1/efs/policies
Request Header: x-api-version:1.5-rev0 |
