Request body

backupIdstring

Required. Resource ID of the Backup resource to be finalized. This must be the same backup_id that was used in the InitiateBackupRequest.

consistencyTimestring google-datetime

The point in time when this backup was captured from the source. This will be assigned to the consistency_time field of the newly created Backup.

descriptionstring

This will be assigned to the description field of the newly created Backup.

recoveryRangeEndTimestring google-datetime

The latest timestamp of data available in this Backup. This will be set on the newly created Backup.

recoveryRangeStartTimestring google-datetime

The earliest timestamp of data available in this Backup. This will set on the newly created Backup.

requestIdstring

Optional. An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes after the first request. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

retentionDurationstring google-duration

The ExpireTime on the backup will be set to FinalizeTime plus this duration. If the resulting ExpireTime is less than EnforcedRetentionEndTime, then ExpireTime is set to EnforcedRetentionEndTime.

Response

Successful response

doneboolean

If the value is false, it means the operation is still in progress. If true, the operation is completed, and either error or response is available.

metadataobject

Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains progress information and common metadata such as create time. Some services might not provide such metadata. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.

namestring

The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the name should be a resource name ending with operations/{unique_id}.

responseobject

The normal, successful response of the operation. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete, the response is google.protobuf.Empty. If the original method is standard Get/Create/Update, the response should be the resource. For other methods, the response should have the type XxxResponse, where Xxx is the original method name. For example, if the original method name is TakeSnapshot(), the inferred response type is TakeSnapshotResponse.
