The POST HTTPS method in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 RESTful API can be used in two different ways:
- To create a new resource, for example, a new backup repository
- To perform an operation, for example, start a backup job or export backed up mailbox items to a PST file.
All requests creating a new resource require a request body. The body must contain properties for this resource. For example, to create a new backup repository, send a request of the following type:
Request: POST https://<Backup-Office365>:4443/v2/BackupRepositories
Request Header: Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>
Request Body:
{ "name": "ABC Support", "proxyId": "5a905bb5-9071-433c-9d2f-f805d4da2cf4", "retentionPeriodType": "Daily", "dailyRetentionPeriod": 14, "retentionFrequencyType": "Daily", "dailyTime": "08:00:00", "description": "", "dailyType": "Weekends", "path": "C:\\ABC_support", "attachUsedRepository": "true" } |
All requests performing an operation require a request body. The body must contain action properties. For example, to export backed up mailbox items to a PST file, send a request of the following type:
Request: POST https://<Backup-Office365>/v2/RestoreSessions/{ID}/Organization/Mailboxes/{ID}/Items/Action
Request Header: Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>
Request Body:
{ "exporttoPst": {"contentKeywords": "support" } } |
In case of success, the POST HTTPS method returns the HTTP response code 201 Created or 200 OK. Depending on the resource, the method can return a response to a corresponding action in the response body.
