Interact with CIPP API

Actions129

Overview

This node interacts with the CIPP API to execute a restore backup operation within the CIPP Administration resource. It allows users to specify a backup ID to restore a particular backup. This is useful in scenarios where system state or data needs to be reverted to a previous backup, such as disaster recovery or undoing unwanted changes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Restoring a backup by specifying its backup ID to revert the system to a previous state.
  2. Automating backup restoration as part of a recovery workflow in an IT management process.

Properties

Name Meaning
Backup ID The backup ID to restore, identifying which backup to execute the restore operation on.
Request Options Additional request settings such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and request timeout to customize the API call behavior.

Output

JSON

  • restoreBackupResponse - The JSON response from the CIPP API after executing the restore backup operation, containing details about the restore process outcome.

Dependencies

  • Requires an OAuth2 API credential for authenticating with the CIPP API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided Backup ID is valid and exists in the system; invalid IDs will cause the restore operation to fail.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request will be blocked; enable this option only if you trust the endpoint.
  • Proxy settings must be correctly configured if a proxy is required; incorrect proxy details will cause connection failures.
  • Timeouts can occur if the server is slow to respond; increase the timeout value if necessary.
