Viewing the parameters of backup disks and partitions

To avoid errors when recovering from a backup, start by comparing the parameters of the disks and partitions of the backup against those of the protected resource.

CLI
API

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. View a description of the CLI command to get parameters of disks and partitions in a backup:

    yc backup backup get --help
    
  2. Get the ID of the backup:

    yc backup backups list
    

    Result:

    +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------+------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
    |                  ID                  |              ARCHIVE ID              | COMPUTE INSTANCE ID  |             RESOURCE ID              |      POLICY ID       | TYPE |      DISKS       |  SIZE  |     CREATED AT      |
    +--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------+------+------------------+--------+---------------------+

  3. Get the parameters of disks and partitions in the backup:

    yc backup backup get --backup-id <backup_ID>
    

    Result:

    id: 3cafa684-a046-459f-a772-cb8f********

    disks:

        size: "21474836480"
        volumes:
          - name: vda1
            size: "1048576"
            mount_strid: \archpit(3CAFA684459FA0468FCB72A7********)\disk1_part1
          - free_space: "15617032192"
            is_bootable: true
            is_system: true
            name: vda2
            size: "21472722432"
            mount_strid: \archpit(3CAFA684459FA0468FCB72A7********)\disk1_part2
    type: FULL
    resource_id: CACBB364-FBC5-42A4-83F4-BC8D********
    

    Before recovering a disk from the backup, make sure that the number, names, and sizes of the backup's volumes match those of the target disk.

    For more information about this command, see the CLI reference.

To view the parameters of disks and partitions in a backup, use the get REST API method for the Backup resource or the BackupService/Get gRPC API call.
