get
list

The boot volume backup was retrieved.

Name	Datatype	Description
`id`	`string`	The OCID of the boot volume backup.
`bootVolumeId`	`string`	The OCID of the boot volume.
`compartmentId`	`string`	The OCID of the compartment that contains the boot volume backup.
`definedTags`	`object`	Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see [Resource Tags](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm). Example: `{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}`
`displayName`	`string`	A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.
`expirationTime`	`string (date-time)`	The date and time the volume backup will expire and be automatically deleted. Format defined by [RFC3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339). This parameter will always be present for backups that were created automatically by a scheduled-backup policy. For manually created backups, it will be absent, signifying that there is no expiration time and the backup will last forever until manually deleted.
`freeformTags`	`object`	Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see [Resource Tags](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm). Example: `{"Department": "Finance"}`
`imageId`	`string`	The image OCID used to create the boot volume the backup is taken from.
`kmsKeyId`	`string`	The OCID of the Vault service master encryption assigned to the boot volume backup. For more information about the Vault service and encryption keys, see [Overview of Vault service](/iaas/Content/KeyManagement/Concepts/keyoverview.htm) and [Using Keys](/iaas/Content/KeyManagement/Tasks/usingkeys.htm).
`lifecycleState`	`string`	The current state of a boot volume backup. (CREATING, AVAILABLE, TERMINATING, TERMINATED, FAULTY, REQUEST_RECEIVED)
`sizeInGBs`	`integer (int64)`	The size of the boot volume, in GBs.
`sourceBootVolumeBackupId`	`string`	The OCID of the source boot volume backup.
`sourceType`	`string`	Specifies whether the backup was created manually, or via scheduled backup policy. (MANUAL, SCHEDULED)
`timeCreated`	`string (date-time)`	The date and time the boot volume backup was created. This is the time the actual point-in-time image of the volume data was taken. Format defined by [RFC3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339).
`timeRequestReceived`	`string (date-time)`	The date and time the request to create the boot volume backup was received. Format defined by [RFC3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339).
`type`	`string`	The type of a volume backup. (FULL, INCREMENTAL)
`uniqueSizeInGBs`	`integer (int64)`	The size used by the backup, in GBs. It is typically smaller than sizeInGBs, depending on the space consumed on the boot volume and whether the backup is full or incremental.

A point-in-time copy of a boot volume that can then be used to create a new boot volume or recover a boot volume. For more information, see [Overview of Boot Volume Backups](/iaas/Content/Block/Concepts/bootvolumebackups.htm) To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you're not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you're an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see [Getting Started with Policies](/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm). Warning: Oracle recommends that you avoid using any confidential information when you supply string values using the API.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

Name	Datatype	Description
`bootVolumeBackupId`	`string`	The OCID of the boot volume backup.
`compartmentId`	`string`	The [OCID](/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm) of the compartment.
`region`	`string`	OCI region identifier (e.g. us-ashburn-1, ap-sydney-1); resolves from OCI_REGION when not supplied in the query. (default: us-ashburn-1, x-stackQL-envVar: OCI_REGION)
`bootVolumeId`	`string`	The OCID of the boot volume.
`displayName`	`string`	A filter to return only resources that match the given display name exactly.
`if-match`	`string`	For optimistic concurrency control. In the PUT or DELETE call for a resource, set the `if-match` parameter to the value of the etag from a previous GET or POST response for that resource. The resource will be updated or deleted only if the etag you provide matches the resource's current etag value.
`lifecycleState`	`string`	A filter to only return resources that match the given lifecycle state. The state value is case-insensitive.
`limit`	`integer`	For list pagination. The maximum number of results per page, or items to return in a paginated "List" call. For important details about how pagination works, see [List Pagination](/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/usingapi.htm#nine). Example: `50`
`opc-request-id`	`string`	Unique identifier for the request. If you need to contact Oracle about a particular request, please provide the request ID.
`opc-retry-token`	`string`	A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).
`page`	`string`	For list pagination. The value of the `opc-next-page` response header from the previous "List" call. For important details about how pagination works, see [List Pagination](/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/usingapi.htm#nine).
`sortBy`	`string`	The field to sort by. You can provide one sort order (`sortOrder`). Default order for TIMECREATED is descending. Default order for DISPLAYNAME is ascending. The DISPLAYNAME sort order is case sensitive. Note: In general, some "List" operations (for example, `ListInstances`) let you optionally filter by availability domain if the scope of the resource type is within a single availability domain. If you call one of these "List" operations without specifying an availability domain, the resources are grouped by availability domain, then sorted.
`sortOrder`	`string`	The sort order to use, either ascending (`ASC`) or descending (`DESC`). The DISPLAYNAME sort order is case sensitive.
`sourceBootVolumeBackupId`	`string`	A filter to return only resources that originated from the given source boot volume backup.
