Overview
This node interacts with a Backup Software API to update backup software configurations for a specified user. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically modify backup settings or parameters, such as toggling regex usage or excluding certain files from backups. For example, an IT administrator could automate updating backup rules across multiple users by specifying user IDs and new configuration data.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X USER ID | The unique identifier of the user whose backup software settings are being updated. |
| Data | JSON object containing the update details. Options include: regex (boolean), exculde (boolean). These control specific backup behaviors. |
| Id | Numeric identifier related to the backup software entry that needs to be updated. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Backup Software API after attempting to update the backup configuration. This typically includes confirmation of the update status or any error messages returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Backup Software API.
- The node uses HTTP headers to pass the user ID (
X-USER-ID) and sends JSON data in the request body. - No additional external dependencies beyond the configured API credentials and network access to the Backup Software service.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid User ID: If the
X USER IDproperty is not provided or incorrect, the API may reject the request. Ensure the user ID is valid and correctly set. - Malformed JSON in Data: The
Dataproperty expects valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause errors. Use proper JSON formatting. - Incorrect Id value: The
Idmust correspond to an existing backup software record. Using an invalid or zero ID might result in failure to update. - Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect endpoint URLs can cause failures. Verify connectivity and API endpoint correctness.
Links and References
- Refer to your Backup Software API documentation for detailed information on the expected JSON structure and available update options.
- n8n documentation on HTTP Request node for understanding how API calls are made.

Dataproperty.
