Cloud Backup:InstallBackupClients

Last Updated:Dec 19, 2024

Installs an HBR client on one or more Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances.

Operation description

  • This operation creates an asynchronous job at the backend and calls Cloud Assistant to install an HBR client on an ECS instance.
  • You can call the DescribeTask operation to query the execution result of an asynchronous job.
  • The timeout period of an asynchronous job is 15 minutes. We recommend that you call the DescribeTask operation to run the first query 60 seconds after you call the InstallBackupClients operation to install HBR clients. Then, run the next queries at an interval of 30 seconds.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
