Snapcentre REST API for Disaster recovery - Error Checking

shocko — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:58:22 GMT

I'm using the disaster recovery API [/disasterrecovery/server/backup ] to create backup of my Snapcentre 4.6 instance. Are these APIs async or will it block until the backup is complete? I need to build some error checking logic into it.

Hi @shocko

See the below screenshot from the documentation you linked to:

As you mentioned you are CREATING a backup this would be a POST call so I believe that means it would be processed Synchronously.

Hope this helps.
