## Query parameters

- `requestId` string
- `restoreVerificationPlanId` string

## Request body

- RestoreVerificationPlan: A `RestoreVerificationPlan` specifies the scheduling and clean-up template for automated restore verification. It contains a `RestoreVerificationSchedule` to dictate when the verifications should run, and a `CleanupConfig` for post-verification resource deletion.
  - `createTime` string, google-datetime: Output only. When the `RestoreVerificationPlan` was created.
  - `description` string: Optional. The description of the `RestoreVerificationPlan` resource. The description allows for additional details about `RestoreVerificationPlan` and its use cases to be provided. An example description is the following: "This is a restore verification plan that performs a daily verification and cleans up the resources immediately after." The description must be at most 2048 characters.
  - `failureCleanupRule` RestoreVerificationCleanupRule: Defines the specific cleanup action.
    - `cleanupDelay` string, google-duration: Optional. Duration after restore finishes when cleanup triggers. Delay must be non-negative and at most 30 days (2592000 seconds).
    - `skipCleanup` boolean: Optional. If set to true, the restored resource will not be cleaned up.
  - `labels` object: Optional. User-defined labels.
  - `name` string: Output only. Identifier. The resource name of the `RestoreVerificationPlan`. Format: `projects/{project}/locations/{location}/restoreVerificationPlans/{restoreVerificationPlan}`
  - `schedule` string: Required. Describes the schedule on which the restore verification will be executed. The schedule is specified as a [Crontab](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Overview) string.
  - `state` 'STATE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'CREATING' | 'ACTIVE' | 'DELETING' | 'INACTIVE' | 'UPDATING' | 'ERROR': Output only. The `State` for the `RestoreVerificationPlan`.
  - `successCleanupRule` RestoreVerificationCleanupRule: Defines the specific cleanup action.
    - `cleanupDelay` string, google-duration: Optional. Duration after restore finishes when cleanup triggers. Delay must be non-negative and at most 30 days (2592000 seconds).
    - `skipCleanup` boolean: Optional. If set to true, the restored resource will not be cleaned up.
  - `timeZone` string: Optional. Specifies the time zone to be used in interpreting schedule. The value of this field must be a time zone name from the [tz database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database), like "America/New_York" or "UTC". Defaults to `UTC` if not specified.
  - `updateTime` string, google-datetime: Output only. When the `RestoreVerificationPlan` was last updated.

## Response `200`

Successful response

- Operation: This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a network API call.
  - `done` boolean: 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.
  - `error` Status: The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). Each `Status` message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details. You can find out more about this error model and how to work with it in the [API Design Guide](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors).
    - `code` integer: The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code.
    - `details` object[]: A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.
    - `message` string: A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized by the client.
  - `metadata` object: 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.
  - `name` string: 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}`.
  - `response` object: 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`.
