Recovery points¶
You can get the number of restore points that are available (a recovery point) for each protected virtual machine with its primary key (pk
).
Tip
To get the primary key (pk
) as well as other detailed information about each protected virtual machine, follow the instructions in Protected virtual machines.

Figure 75 For each virtual machine, the number of recovery points is displayed. This is the number of backup snapshots that you can restore.¶
Method and URI¶
To get a recovery point for each protected virtual machine, use a POST method and a URI:
POST https://{hostname|IPv4}/api/endeavour/catalog/recovery/hypervisorvm
Parameters¶
Parameter 1: action
Invoke aggregate functions. For more information about aggregate functions, follow the instructions in Aggregate functions.
Value:
aggregate
Type: Array. Required. Available in the web user interface.
Parameter 2: filter
Value:
[
{
"property": "sessionId",
"op": ">",
"value": "0"
}
]
Type: Array. Required. Available in the web user interface.
Data¶
Data 1: op
Use the COUNT()
function for the pk
values. For more information about the COUNT()
function, follow the instructions in COUNT().
Value:
[
{
"operation": "count",
"fieldname": "pk",
"outputname": "count"
}
]
Type: Array. Required. Available in the web user interface.
Data 2: group
Use the GROUP
clause with the primary key values. For more information about the GROUP
clause, follow the instructions in GROUP clause.
Value:
["pk"]
Type: Array. Required. Available in the web user interface.
Data 3: copytype
Value:
versiononly
Type: System string. Required.
Example: Get information about recovery points¶
Assume that you have two protected virtual machines:
sales-americas:
Primary key: 92647504afd9005226aef77bc0b98abb
Base backup size: 100 GB (107,374,182,400 bytes)
Incremental backup snapshot sizes: 10 GB (10,737,418,240 bytes, 1 GB x 10 backup snapshots)
Total backup size: 110 GB
sales-sql:
Primary key: 8989CFF1-6F16-4E2B-9FCC-9F8C8CD719C9
Base backup size: 1 TB (1,073,741,824,000 bytes)
The sum of all incremental backup snapshots: 1 TB x 1 backup snapshot
Total backup size: 2 TB
A Python snippet that is similar to the following example can be used to get a list of protected virtual machines and their primary keys and recovery points. In this example, the value will be shown with the key name count
.
_params = {
"action": "aggregate",
"filter": str([
{
"property": "sessionId",
"op": ">",
"value": "0"
}
])
}
data = f'''{{
"op": [
{{
"operation": "count",
"fieldname": "pk",
"outputname": "count"
}}
],
"group": [
"pk"
],
"copytype": "versiononly"
}}'''
requests.post('https://' + spp_ipv4
+ '/api/endeavour/catalog/recovery/hypervisorvm',
headers={...}, params=_params, data=_data, verify=...)
The request prompts a response that is structured as shown, with the HTTP status of 200 (OK). As you can see, the protected virtual machine sales-americas has ten backup snapshots (recovery points) and sales-sql has one snapshot.
