The following example shows how to start a backup operation by submitting a POST request on the REST endpoint using cURL.
This example uses a traditional cloud account, so the {identityDomainId} path parameter and the X-ID-TENANT-NAMEheader parameter are set to the account's domain name, which is usexample. The service instance is db12c-xp-si and the Oracle Cloud user name of the user making the call is dbcsadmin.
Note that the required (but empty) request body is provided in the cURLcommand's --data option.
cURL Command
$ curl --include --request POST \
--user dbcsadmin:password \
--header "X-ID-TENANT-NAME:usexample" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
