Trigger Backups

After activation a backup will occur automatically according to the Policy operation RPO and Schedule. A backup can also be triggered whenever required using the Trigger Handler.

To perform the trigger a number of trigger properties are required. First the triggers are retrieved, then the trigger properties are sent using the “triggerbackup.json” file.

If a backup is successfully triggered the response will contain a list of Job IDs.
