get_backup

(CATS API 2.0)

Used to retrieve a backup of the site, intended for use by scripts. If a backup has been created within the last 24 hours, an HTTP redirect will be returned for the backup download URL. Otherwise, a backup will be started, and the text 'started' will be returned to indicate this. Subsequent calls will return 'running' until the backup finishes, in which case a redirect will be returned to the client for the backup file.
