Usage notes

If the return value of the DownloadLink parameter is NULL, ApsaraDB RDS does not provide a download URL.
If the return value of the DownloadLink parameter is not NULL, ApsaraDB RDS provides a URL for you to download backup files. The expiration time of the URL is specified by the LinkExpiredTime parameter. You must download the backup files before the expiration time.
If you use a RAM user to download backup files, you must grant permissions to the RAM user. For more information, see Grant backup file download permissions to a RAM user with read-only permissions.
Each log file that is returned by this operation contains the log entries that are generated over the time range that is specified by the StartTime and EndTime parameters.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
