Belangrijk

The time formats for schedule and retention support only DateTime. They don't support Time format alone.

Reacties

The backup policy creation/update is a asynchronous operation. Dit betekent dat met deze bewerking een andere bewerking wordt gemaakt die afzonderlijk moet worden bijgehouden.

Er worden twee antwoorden geretourneerd: 202 (Geaccepteerd) wanneer er een andere bewerking wordt gemaakt. Vervolgens 200 (OK) wanneer deze bewerking is voltooid.

Naam Typ Beschrijving
200 OK Protection PolicyResource OK
202 Geaccepteerd Geaccepteerd

Voorbeeldantwoorden

Once you submit the PUT request for policy creation or updating, the initial response is 202 (Accepted) with a location header or Azure-async-header.

Then track the resulting operation using the location header or Azure-AsyncOperation header with a simple GET command.

GET https://management.azure.com/Subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/SwaggerTestRg/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/testVault/backupPolicies/testPolicy1/operationResults/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000?api-version=2019-05-13

Once the operation completes, it returns 200 (OK) with the policy content in the response body.

If a policy is already being used to protect an item, any update in the policy will result in modifying protection for all such associated items.
