Description

This API is used to query a set of instance backups. The set of backups must be in the success state to restore an instance.

RDS provides backup files for download.

  • When DownloadLink is NULL, RDS does not provide a download URL.
  • When DownloadLink is not NULL, you can use this URL to download the backup file through wget (add double quotes), a browser, or programming. The expiration time for this URL is specified by LinkExpiredTime. Use it before the expiration time. If it has expired, you can see the following error code during the download:
    <? xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ? >
<Error>
