cPanel API 2 Functions - MysqlFE::listdbsbackup - Knowledgebase

Description

This function lists the account's database backups.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use the MysqlFE::listdbs function instead of this function.
We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

Examples

WHM API (JSON)

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess###########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=MysqlFE&cpanel_jsonapi_func=listdbsbackup

LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel = new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

// List dabatases with backups

$get_dbinfo = $cpanel->api2(

'MysqlFE', 'listdbsbackup'

);

LiveAPI Perl Module

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

# List dabatases with backups

my $get_dbinfo = $cpliveapi->api2(

'MysqlFE', 'listdbsbackup',

);

cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs.

cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary widely in code syntax and in their output. For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
