System backup policy

System backup uses a backup policy to create a snapshot of the configuration of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) to a remote backup server. For details on how backup policies work, see "Data and configuration backups" in the Administration Guide. For details on configuring a backup policy using the REST API, see Backup policy. To encypt the backup, see Encrypting system backup policy.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/system_backup
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).
Sample request

The following command lists the system backup settings of SPS.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/system_backup
Response

The following is a sample response received when listing the endpoints for date and time settings.
