Document Revision History

Revision # Revision 1 Revision 2 Revision 3 Date 8/15/2013 9/23/2013 11/14/2013 Description of Changes Initial version of the document for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. Changes in the Reference section; several scenarios added to the Sample scenarios section. Lookup section added; parameters for vCloud VM restore added.
OVERVIEW
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager exposes its objects via the Web Service API based on the REST (Representational State Transfer) framework. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API lets developers communicate with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to query information about Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager objects and perform basic operations with them using HTTP and HTTPS protocols and the principles of REST. Since the HTTP protocol is very popular and widespread, REST API is platform-agnostic and can be used with practically any programming language. This document will help you get familiar with the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. The document includes the following sections: Concepts and Principles highlights key features of REST API as applicable to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. Getting Started describes Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API specifications, provides a generalized RESTful workflow to help you quickly start with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API and an example of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API use. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API Reference provides a complete reference for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API resources and operations you can perform with them. Sample Scenarios offers a set of examples of use for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API.
CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES

In this section, you will find a description of basic REST API concepts and principles that will help you quickly dive into Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. The information is given by the example of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager objects. This section is primarily intended for novices in REST API; however, some information may be useful for experienced developers.
Client-Server Model
REST API relies on the client-server model: 1. 2. 3. The client makes requests to the server, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, over the HTTP protocol. The server processes the request and returns either a successful operation status or error. In case of success, the server returns a response in the form of an XML document. The client accepts the response, parses it and retrieves the information it needs from the response.
Resources
REST API is built around resources. A resource is an object that the client can address and with which it can perform certain actions. Some examples of resources in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager are Veeam backup server, job, restore point and so on. Every resource in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API is described with: Specific resource type such as backupServer, job and so on URL, or resource address, that the client can use to access the resource Relationships to other resources in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Set of operations that can be performed with the resource (if applicable to resource)
Resource Types
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is practically a hierarchy of resources. When the client accesses the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, it obtains a list of resources that the client can use. All Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager resources can be divided into two groups: Key resources, or entities, are top-level objects in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. These are primary Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager objects that the client can address: jobs, VMs, restore points and so on. Key resources are uniquely identified by entity IDs in the URN format. The client can get information about key resources and perform actions with them: modify resource properties, create and delete resources and so on. Other resources are auxiliary objects handled by Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, for example: tasks, file system entries, credentials and so on. Typically, these resources do not have any actions associated with them. The client can access such resources to get some information about them but cannot perform any operation with them.
The Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API operates with the following types of resources: Key resources: BackupServer Repository Job Backup RestorePoint VmRestorePoint Replica VmReplicaPoint CatalogVm CatalogVmRestorePoint HierarchyRoot BackupJobSession ReplicaJobSession RestoreJobSession BackupTaskSession ReplicaTaskSession EnterpriseRole EnterpriseAccount
Other resources: EnterpriseManager LoginSession Task Report ReportFrame DirectoryEntry
FileEntry FileSystemItems VmRestorePointMount VmReplicaPointMount QueryService LookupService Credentials ObjectInJob EnterpriseAccountInRole EnterpriseAccountHierarchyScope EnterpriseSecuritySettings
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API resources can be grouped in collections. A resource collection contains objects of the same type: for example, the BackupServers collection contains all Veeam backup servers connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. The resource collection itself is a resource: you can access it and get information about all objects being a part of the collection.
Resource URLs
Every resource and resource collection in Enterprise Manager RESTful API has its own URL. A resource URL functions a reference to an Enterprise Manager object: it is a resource address that the client can use to access the resource. For example, a Veeam backup server connected to Enterprise Manager can be addressed by the URL of the following type:
http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/69368052-f7be-4be2-83d700ce2bbd7c0a
Every resource URL consists of two parts: Base URL of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API Resource location
Base URL
The base URL is common for all resources: it is the entry point to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API has the following base URL:
http://<Enterprise-Manager>:9399/api/
where: <Enterprise-Manager> is the name of the machine on which Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is installed 9399 is an HTTP port used to communicate with the REST API web service. You can also access Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API over the HTTPS using port 9398. By default, port 9399 is used. If you have specified another HTTP port during the Enterprise Manager installation, you should adjust the port number in the URL.
Resource Location
The resource location identifies the path to the resource itself in Enterprise Manager RESTful API. The resource location is suffixed to the base URL, forming the URL for the resource. For example, to access the collection of jobs by the URL of the following type:
http://localhost:9399/api/jobs
The resource location for key resources includes the entity ID. Every key resource has an entity ID an object identifier in the URN format. The entity ID is unique and persists for the time of the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API work session. For example, a Veeam backup server connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager can have the following entity ID and the following URN:
http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a
Non-key resources may or may not have IDs that are called resource IDs. For example, the task resource has a resource ID of the following format:
http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-1
Such resources as files or directories do not have IDs:

http://localhost:9399/api/vmRestorePoints/e2b02b57-42dd-404a-b8af8e45a58c1a88/mounts/1/C:/pagefile.sys
Important!
The client must never construct URLs for resources itself. URLs for all resources and actions that the client can perform are generated automatically by the server and provided in resource representations. The client should only select the URL it needs and send a necessary HTTP request to it.
Resource Representations
In REST API, a resource is an abstract notion. When the client and the server communicate with each other, they exchange representations of resources. The resource representation has the form of an XML document. For example, if you request information about a Veeam backup server connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will return a resource representation of the Veeam backup server resource similar to the following:
<BackupServer xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="BackupServer" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a?format=Entity" Name="backupserver" UID="urn:veeam:BackupServer:21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd-273de2e6fd4a"> <Links> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="JobReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/jobs" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="RepositoryReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/repositories" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="CredentialsList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/credentials" /> <Link Rel="Create" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/credentials?action=create" /> </Links> <Description /> <Port>9392</Port> <Version>7.0</Version> </BackupServer>
A resource representation is a document that holds all data you need to know about the resource and its behavior. Typically, a resource representation contains the following data on the resource: General information about the resource: name, ID, URL and type Information about other resources related to the resource Set of actions that can be performed with the resource (if applicable)
Information about related resources and actions available for the resource is presented in the form of links.
Resource Representations for Non-Key Resources

For non-key resources, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API provides a reference resource representation. The reference resource representation is used to identify the resource and its relations to other resources. This type of representation provides the following data about the resource: Basic resource information: its ID (if available), name, URL and type Information about resources that are related to the current resource
For example, a reference representation for a credentials resource looks similar to the following:
<CredentialsInfo xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Credentials" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15/credentials/57bd1035-fb26-441b-9e8b-6d0301dd2d87"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServer" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15?format=Entity" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Edit" Type="Credentials" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15/credentials/57bd1035-fb26-441b-9e8b-6d0301dd2d87" /> <Link Rel="Delete" Type="Credentials" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15/credentials/57bd1035-fb26-441b-9e8b-6d0301dd2d87" /> </Links> <Id>57bd1035-fb26-441b-9e8b-6d0301dd2d87</Id> <Username>administrator</Username> <Description>HP P4000</Description> <Password /> </CredentialsInfo>
Resource Representation for Key Resources

For key resources, or entities, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API provides two types of resource representations: Entity reference resource representation Entity resource representation
Entity Reference Resource Representation

The entity reference resource representation provides short information about the resource that is uniform for all entity resources. This type of representation typically contains the following data: Basic resource information: its ID, name, URL and type Information about resources that are related to the current resource
For example, a reference representation for a job resource looks similar to the following:
<EntityRef xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/de14a4c9-3fb9-419b-b622c6e3ebda28cb" Name="Exchange Backup" UID="urn:veeam:Job:de14a4c9-3fb9419b-b622-c6e3ebda28cb"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/de14a4c9-3fb9-419b-b622c6e3ebda28cb?format=Entity" Name="Exchange Backup" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupJobSessionReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/de14a4c9-3fb9-419b-b622c6e3ebda28cb/backupSessions" /> </Links> </EntityRef>
Entity Resource Representation

The entity resource representation provides complete information about the resource: Basic information about the resource: its ID, name, URL and type Information about the related resources Links to actions that can be performed with the resource and information about the resource settings Other information related to the resource such as object settings and so on.
To get an entity of the resource representation, the client should send the GET HTTP request to the URL of the resource entity:
GET <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5?format=Entity" Name="Exchange Backup" />
In response the server returns an entity representation providing complete information about the resource:

Links
The main constructs of a resource representation are links. Links are the primary means to address resources and manipulate them. When the client sends a request to the server, the server returns to the client a resource representation with a set of links. Links are elements in the XML document that the client can use to: Access resources to which the resource has relationships Perform actions with the resource Create new resources
Essentially, every link is a reference to another resource or some action. Links communicate to the client what the client can do next: get information about a related resource, perform some action with the resource or create a new resource, such as a new logon session. For example, if you send a request to get a representation for a specific backup job resource, you will get the following set of links:
<Job xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5?format=Entity" Name="Exchange Backup" UID="urn:veeam:Job:568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf-39ab36712bf5"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5" Name="Exchange Backup" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupJobSessionReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5/backupSessions" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="ObjectInJobList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5/includes" /> <Link Rel="Edit" Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5" Name="Exchange Backup" /> <Link Rel="Create" Type="ObjectInJob" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5/includes" /> <Link Rel="Start" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb114140-92cf-39ab36712bf5?action=start" /> <Link Rel="Stop" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-

Using links from the representation of the job resource, you can get information about job sessions and the Veeam backup server on which the job was created, add objects to the job, edit the jobs settings, start, stop, retry and clone and disable/enable a job. This resource representation contains links to the following related resources: 1. Veeam backup server on which the job is created:
<Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46baafbd-273de2e6fd4a" Name="localhost" />
2.
Entity of the backup job. To learn more about entities, see Resource Representation for Key Resources.
<Link Rel="Alternate" Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5" Name="Exchange Backup" />

And a set of actions you can perform with the job resource: 1. Add VMs and VM containers to the job:
<Link Rel="Create" Type="ObjectInJob" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5/includes" />

<Link Rel="ToggleScheduleEnabled" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5?action=toggleScheduleEnabled" />
Attributes of a Link Element

A link element in the XML document usually has the following attributes: Rel The Rel attribute defines the type of relationship between the resource and the linked resource or state. The Rel attribute can identify the following relationships:
Relationship Action Description Identifies an action that can be performed with the linked object. For example, Create, Edit, Delete, Start, Stop, Retry, Clone and so on. Identifies the type of relations between the linked resource and the resource. Currently Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API offers two types of relations: The Up value indicates that the linked resource is a parent element for the current resource. For example, the backup repository is a parent for the backup stored in this repository. The Down value indicates that the linked resource is a child element for the current resource. For example, the repository is a child for the Veeam backup server to which the repository is connected. The Alternate value in the Rel attribute identifies that the link is a reference to the resource entity. To learn more, see Resource Representation for Key Resources.
Type of relationship
Alternate URL
Type The Type attribute defines the type of a related resource. The type attribute is used only for linked resources, not actions. For example, the link below is provided in the representation of the restore point resource:
<Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backups/d8877ca3-6283-4011-b09a73696ef34bf0" Name="Exchange Backup" />
The link identifies a backup for which the restore point is created: Rel attribute defines the relationship between the current resource, restore point, and the linked resource, backup Up. This means that the linked backup resource is a parent element for the restore point resource. Type attribute defines the type of the linked resource Backup.
46ba-afbd-273de2e6fd4a.
Href
Href attribute contains a URL for the backup resource /backupServers/21a631e0-af7fName attribute defines a name for the backup Exchange Backup.
The Href attribute contains a reference to a related resource or an action in the URL format. The client can use the URL to get a representation of a related resource or perform some action with the resource. The resource URL should be treated as an immutable, opaque string: all URLs are controlled by the server, and the client should only select and use the necessary URL. Name The Name attribute defines the human-readable name of the resource. The name attribute is used for key resources and may be skipped in links to resource collections and actions to creating new resources.
HTTP Requests and Responses

When communicating via Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, the client makes a request to the URL of the resource and the server returns a response to the client. The client uses standard HTTP CRUD operations: CREATE, READ, PUT and DELETE.
Requests
For requests, the client can use the following standard HTTP methods: POST (Create) - creates a new resource GET (Read) - retrieves information about the resource the resource representation PUT (Update) - makes changes to a resource DELETE (Delete) removes a resource
In some cases, the same HTTP method can be used to perform different kinds of actions with the resource. For example, using the POST HTTP method, you can add objects to the job, start a job, stop, retry, clone or disable it. To identify the action that will be performed with the resource, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API adds the name of the action to the end of the action URL, for example:
<Link Rel="Start" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb114140-92cf-39ab36712bf5?action=start" />
Additionally, the action is described with the Rel attribute within the link, for example:
<Link Rel="Edit" Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5" Name="Exchange Backup" />
The table below describes relations between the operations that the client can perform with resources and HTTP verbs to be used:
Operation Create Delete Alternate Edit Start Stop Retry Clone Related Restore Failover Download HTTP Verb POST DELETE GET PUT POST POST POST POST GET POST POST POST Sample Actions Create a new resource, for example, a logon session or credentials record. Delete a resource, for example, a logon session or a task. Get an entity representation for the resource. Edit a resource, for example, a job. Start some operation, for example, a job. Stop some operation, for example, a job. Retry some operation, for example, a job. Clone a resource, for example, a job. Get a resource representation of the resource related to the current one, For example, a list of VM restore points related to the catalog VM restore point. Perform a restore operation, for example, full VM restore. Perform VM replica failover. Download a file.

Move back to the previous page with query results Move forward to the next page with query results Move to the first page with query results Move to the last page with query results
POST GET GET GET GET GET GET
POST Method
The POST HTTP Method is most often used to create a new resource: for example, a new logon session. However, in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API the POST HTTP method can be used for other activities, for example: Starting a job Cloning a job Downloading a file Restoring a VM
Some POST HTTP requests do not require a request body: they are simply sent to the URL of a resource. For example, if you want to start a job, you should send a request of the following type:
POST http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5?action=start
Other POST HTTP requests require the request body. For example, if you want to clone a job in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, you need to send the HTTP POST request and communicate to the server the parameters for the cloned job in the request body. The body of the request must conform to the XML Schema of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API:
Request : POST http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5?action=clone Request Body : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <JobCloneSpec xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <BackupJobCloneInfo> <JobName>Exchange Backup Cloned</JobName> <FolderName>Exchange Backup Cloned</FolderName> <RepositoryUid>urn:veeam:Repository:3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed254e7fddc5ecf</RepositoryUid> </BackupJobCloneInfo> </JobCloneSpec>
If case of success, the server returns the HTTP response code 202 Accepted. The operation itself is performed in the asynchronous manner. The server creates a task for the operation completion and returns a link to this task to the client. Using this link, the client can monitor the task completion. The example below illustrates the job start operation:
Request : POST http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/115f560f-3a5f-4a88-b0c8096c845bafcd?action=start Response: 202 Success Response Body: <Task xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-10"> <Links> <Link Rel="Delete" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-10" /> </Links> <TaskId>task-10</TaskId> <State>Running</State> <Operation>StartJob</Operation> </Task>
To monitor the state of the task completion, the client sends the GET HTTP request to the URL of the task resource:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-10 Response: 20O Success Response Body: <Task xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-10"> <Links> <Link Rel="Delete" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-10" /> </Links> <TaskId>task-10</TaskId> <State>Finished</State> <Operation>StartJob</Operation> <Result Success="true"> <Message>Job "SQL Backup" triggered to start.</Message> </Result> </Task>
GET Method
The GET HTTP method is used to read data or retrieve information about a resource. In case of success, the GET HTTP method returns the HTTP response code 200 Success; in the response body, the method returns a representation of the resource. In the example below, the GET HTTP method is used to retrieve a resource representation of the default backup repository entity:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/repositories/3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed254e7fddc5ecf?format=Entity Response: 200 Success Response Body: <Repository xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Repository" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/repositories/3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed254e7fddc5ecf?format=Entity" Name="Default Backup Repository" UID="urn:veeam:Repository:3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed2-54e7fddc5ecf"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="RepositoryReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/repositories/3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed254e7fddc5ecf" Name="Default Backup Repository" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/repositories/3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed254e7fddc5ecf/backups" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="ReplicaReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/repositories/3efc471c-04be-4dd1-9ed254e7fddc5ecf/replicas" />
</Links> <Capacity>85530243072</Capacity> <FreeSpace>20584992768</FreeSpace> </Repository>
PUT Method
The PUT HTTP method is used to update the properties of the resource, for example, edit job settings. The PUT HTTP method requires a request body. In the body of the request, the client must send an updated representation of the resource. The body may contain the whole resource representation or only those settings that the client wants to edit. The body of the request must conform to the XML Schema of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. If case of success, the PUT HTTP method returns the HTTP response code 200 Success or 202 Accepted. Code 200 Success is returned if the operation can be performed immediately. Code 202 Accepted is returned if the operation takes much time to perform. In this case, the operation is performed in the asynchronous manner. The server creates a task for method completion and returns a link to this task to the client. Using this link, the client can monitor the task completion.
In the example below, the PUT HTTP request is sent to update the job description:
Request : PUT http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/115f560f-3a5f-4a88-b0c8-096c845bafcd Request Body : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Job Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/115f560f-3a5f-4a88-b0c8096c845bafcd?format=Entity" Type="Job" Name="vcloud" UID="urn:veeam:Job:115f560f-3a5f-4a88-b0c8-096c845bafcd" xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Description>Changing job description</Description> </Job> Response: 202 Accepted Response Body: <Task xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-12"> <Links> <Link Rel="Delete" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-12" /> </Links> <TaskId>task-12</TaskId> <State>Running</State> <Operation>EditJob</Operation> </Task>
To monitor the state of the task completion, the client sends the GET HTTP request to the URL of the task resource:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-12 Response: 20O Success Response Body: <Task xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-12"> <Links> <Link Rel="Delete" Type="Task" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/tasks/task-12" /> </Links> <TaskId>task-12</TaskId> <State>Finished</State> <Operation>EditJob</Operation> <Result Success="true"> <Message>Ok</Message> </Result> </Task>
DELETE Method
The DELETE HTTP method is used to delete a resource to whose URL the client sends a request. In case of success, the DELETE HTTP method returns the HTTP response code 204 (DELETED). In the example below, the DELETE HTTP request is used to delete the current logon session:
Request : DELETE http://localhost:9399/api/logonSessions/0e879be7-8854-4a54-990bec16e1c6d1ee Response: 204 Deleted
Responses
Every request to the server returns a response. The response returned from the server includes: HTTP response code that indicates the status of the operation, for example: 200 Success. HTTP response header HTTP response body (if applicable to the operation)
HTTP Response Codes

The request to the server can return a successful status or an error.

The operation has been successfully completed. The resource has been successfully created. The request has been accepted and a task to handle the request has been created. A 202 response is typically used for actions that take a long while to process or performed asynchronously. This response is accompanied by a task resource. The request is valid and has been successfully completed; the response does not include a body. A 204 status can be sent, for example, as a response to the DELETE HTTP request, informing that a resource has been deleted and has no representation.

Query Service
Some of the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager resources support request query parameters. Using query, you can: Tip: Perform ad-hoc search for necessary resources Filter results by defined criteria Define the format of results display and pagination
To learn what query parameters are supported for specific resources, see the Query Parameters section in the GET HTTP method description for the corresponding resource. For example, (GET) /backupServers.
Query Syntax
In Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, the query component is added to the base URL. The query string has the following format:
http://<EnterpriseManage>:9399/api/query?type=<QueryType> [&ParamName=ParamValue]
where: http://<EnterpriseManage>:9399/api/ is the base URL for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. query?type identifies the beginning of the query string. The query?type element is added to the base URL. <QueryType> identifies the resource type for which the query is executed, for example, BackupServer or Job. [ParamName=ParamValue]contains parameters passed to the query.
query?type=<QueryType>
The query?type component is a required part of the query. You can define the query for the following types of resources: BackupServer Job Backup RestorePoint VmRestorePoint Replica VmReplicaPoint HierarchyRoot BackupJobSession ReplicaJobSession RestoreJobSession BackupTaskSession ReplicaTasksSession Task Credentials
[ParamName=ParamValue]
The query parameters component [ParamName=ParamValue] is an optional part of the query. Using this component, you can pass arguments to the query. The query parameter component is separated with the & (ampersand) character from the rest of the query string. Parameters are passed to the query as "field=value" pairs. The query string can contain an unlimited number of field=value pairs. Multiple "field=value" pairs are separated with the & (ampersand) character. Important! The "field=value" pair must be presented as a string of the [A-Za-z_0-9] type without spaces. Stings containing spaces must be includes in quotes, for example: /query?type=job&filter=name==Fileserver Backup. If the string contains spaces and is not included in quotes, the server will ignore spaces in the string. If the string itself contains a quote character, the quote must be doubled. For example, if the job name is Backup, the query string will have the following format: /query?type=job&filter=name==Backup.
For example, using the query below, you can get a list of all job entities sorted in the ascending order. This query contains two "field=value" pairs: format=Entities (to display entities of resources, not references) sortAsc=name (to sort jobs in the ascending order by the Name field)

Optional Query Parameters

When building a query string, you can use one or several optional query parameters:
format
The format query parameter allows you to define the representation type that you want to retrieve using the query. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API lets you retrieve representations of two types: References (retrieved by default) Entities
To learn more, see Resource Representations.
For example, using the query below, you can get a list of restore point entities:

sortAsc, sortDesc
The sortAsc and sortDesc query parameters let you sort the displayed items in the ascending or descending order. The displayed items are sorted by a specific field that is passed to the query as an argument. For example, using the query below, you can get a list of backup servers connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager sorted by the Name field in the descending order:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=backupServer&sortDesc=name Response: 200 Success Response Body: <QueryResult xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Refs> <Ref Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a" Name="localhost" UID="urn:veeam:BackupServer:21a631e0-af7f46ba-afbd-273de2e6fd4a"> <Links> <Link Rel="Down" Type="JobReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/jobs" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="RepositoryReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/repositories" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="CredentialsList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a/credentials" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="BackupServer" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a?format=Entity" Name="localhost" /> </Links> </Ref> <Ref Type="BackupServerReference"

pageSize and page

The pageSize and page query parameters let you control pagination. pageSize Using the pageSize parameter, you can define the number of items to be displayed on one page. As a result, the server will return a set of pages with the defined number of items per page. By default, all query results are displayed on one page. To set the pageSize parameter, you should pass a value greater than 0 as a query argument. For example, using the query below, you can paginate a list of backup serves, 1 backup server per page:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=backupServer&pageSize=1 Response: 200 Success Response Body: <QueryResult xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Refs> <Ref Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/69368052-f7be-4be2-83d700ce2bbd7c0a" Name="backupserver" UID="urn:veeam:BackupServer:69368052f7be-4be2-83d7-00ce2bbd7c0a"> <Links> <Link Rel="Down" Type="JobReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/69368052-f7be-4be2-83d700ce2bbd7c0a/jobs" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="RepositoryReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/69368052-f7be-4be2-83d700ce2bbd7c0a/repositories" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="CredentialsList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/69368052-f7be-4be2-83d700ce2bbd7c0a/credentials" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="BackupServer" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/69368052-f7be-4be2-83d700ce2bbd7c0a?format=Entity" Name="backupserver" /> </Links> </Ref> </Refs> <PagingInfo PagesCount="3" PageSize="1" PageNum="1"> <Links> <Link Rel="First" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=BackupServer&pageSize=1&page=1 " /> <Link Rel="Next" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=BackupServer&pageSize=1&page=2 " /> <Link Rel="Last" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=BackupServer&pageSize=1&page=3 " /> </Links> </PagingInfo> </QueryResult>
page In the PagingInfo section of the returned resource representation, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager returns URLs to pages with results. The page parameter in the URL defines the number of displayed page. For example, the page=2 string in the URL below defines that the displayed page is the 2nd page with query results:
http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=BackupServer&pageSize=1&page=2
Tip:
You can move forward or backward the pages with query results by following the links in PagingInfo section in the query results. Alternatively, you can manually increase or decrease the page number in the query string.
filter The filter parameter lets you filter the query results to limit a set of displayed items. By default, the query results are not filtered: Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager displays all items as a list. Using the filter parameter, you can display only those items that match the necessary criteria. The filter component in the query string has the following format:
&filter=(field==value)
where the filter criteria are specified as the "field=value" pairs. For example, using the query below, you can get a backup job with the Exchange Backup name:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=job&filter=(name=="Exchange Backup") Response: 200 Success Response Body: <QueryResult xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Refs> <Ref Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ceeb11-4140-92cf-39ab36712bf5" Name="Exchange Backup" UID="urn:veeam:Job:568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf-39ab36712bf5"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/21a631e0-af7f-46ba-afbd273de2e6fd4a" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5?format=Entity" Name="Exchange Backup" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupJobSessionReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/568c42ce-eb11-4140-92cf39ab36712bf5/backupSessions" /> </Links> </Ref> </Refs> <PagingInfo PagesCount="1" PageSize="100" PageNum="1"> <Links> <Link Rel="First" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=job&filter=(name%3d%3d%22Excha nge+Backup%22)&pageSize=100&page=1" /> <Link Rel="Last" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=job&filter=(name%3d%3d%22Excha nge+Backup%22)&pageSize=100&page=1" /> </Links> </PagingInfo> </QueryResult>
Important!
The filter parameter is obligatory for the Credentials resource. In the query string, the client must provide a UID of the backup server on which the credentials record is created as a BackupServerUid=urn:veeam:BackupServer:UID value. For example, /query?type=credentials&filter=BackupServerUid==urn:veeam:BackupServer:15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15. For all other resources, this parameter can be skipped. In this case, the server will return a list of resources of the specified type.
Logical AND/OR Operators

The query string may contain any number of "field=value" pairs. Multiple "field=value" pairs can be united using the following logical operators:
Logical Operator AND OR Query syntax character ; (Semicolon) , (Comma) Description All conditions specified in the filter parameter must be true. Any of the conditions specified in the filter parameter must be true
For example, using the query below, the client can get a list of jobs of the Backup type that are created for VMs on the Hyper-V platform:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=job&filter=jobtype==backup;platform= =hyperv Response: 200 Success Response Body: <QueryResult xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Refs> <Ref Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/de14a4c93fb9-419b-b622-c6e3ebda28cb" Name="Exchange Backup" UID="urn:veeam:Job:de14a4c9-3fb9-419b-b622-c6e3ebda28cb"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/de14a4c9-3fb9-419b-b622c6e3ebda28cb?format=Entity" Name="Exchange Backup" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupJobSessionReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/de14a4c9-3fb9-419b-b622c6e3ebda28cb/backupSessions" /> </Links> </Ref> <Ref Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/dce8568659c8-42c4-8766-f1c00a5b8067" Name="SQL" UID="urn:veeam:Job:dce85686-59c842c4-8766-f1c00a5b8067"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/dce85686-59c8-42c4-8766f1c00a5b8067?format=Entity" Name="SQL" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupJobSessionReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/dce85686-59c8-42c4-8766f1c00a5b8067/backupSessions" /> </Links> </Ref> </Refs> <PagingInfo PagesCount="1" PageSize="100" PageNum="1"> <Links> <Link Rel="First" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/query?type=job&filter=jobtype%3d%3dbackup %3bplatform%3d%3dhyperv&pageSize=100&page=1" />

Comparison Operators
The query string may contain comparison operators listed below.
Comparison Operator Greater Less Equal Does not equal Greater or equal Less or equal > Query syntax character Description The query result must be greater than the value specified in the fieldvalue pair. The query result must be less than the value specified in the field-value pair. The query result must be equal to the value specified in the field-value pair. The query result must not be equal to the value specified in the fieldvalue pair. The query result must be greater or equal to the value specified in the field-value pair. The query result must be less or equal to the value specified in the fieldvalue pair.
< ==
!= >= <=
Grouping Operators
The query string may contain conditions grouped using the grouping operators ( and ). The grouping operators help the client to form complex queries that contain a number of field-value pairs. For example, using the query below, the client can get a list of jobs that meets the following criteria: Backup jobs with scheduling options enabled Replication jobs with scheduling options disabled
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/ query?type=job&filter=(jobtype==replica; scheduleconfigured==false),(jobtype==backup;scheduleconfigured==true) Response: 200 Success Response Body: <QueryResult xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Refs> <Ref Type="JobReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/795f2f576cc0-4c33-8c1b-bd7cd5df9aa7" Name="Fileserver Backup" UID="urn:veeam:Job:795f2f57-6cc0-4c33-8c1b-bd7cd5df9aa7"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb56-4dcc-96e95f80e4725a15" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="Job" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/795f2f57-6cc0-4c33-8c1bbd7cd5df9aa7?format=Entity" Name="Fileserver Backup" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupJobSessionReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs/795f2f57-6cc0-4c33-8c1b-

Lookup Service
In addition to the query service, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager exposes the lookup service via its RESTful API. The lookup service lets the client facilitate search for objects in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy: hosts, VMs, clusters, resource pools, folders and so on. The lookup service is specifically targeted at retrieving resource representations of virtual infrastructuture objects and references to virtual infrastructure objects. Object references are required for some requests that refer to a specific node in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy. For example, if you want to add some VM to the backup job, you need to provide a reference to this VM when sending a request for job editing. Similarly, if you want to assign a restore scope to an account having a specific role in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, you need to provide a reference to the VM or VM container to which this account should have access. The resource representation of the lookup service looks in the following way:
<LookupSvc xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="LookupService" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/lookupSvc"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="LogonSession" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/logonSessions/764a855e-56a3-4cb1-a80acb5693b6527e" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="HierarchyItemList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host=urn%3aveeam%3aHierarchyRoot%3 a3e7fea0c-e92d-4459-9842-0304df34c644&name=*&type=Vm" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="HierarchyItemList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host=urn%3aveeam%3aHierarchyRoot%3 a195c7259-8d89-4f6e-9098-25ee1f432669&name=*&type=Vm" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="HierarchyItemList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host=urn%3aveeam%3aHierarchyRoot%3 a1b07c378-bb71-445d-8652-50cead6309e1&name=*&type=Vm" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="HierarchyItemList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host=urn%3aveeam%3aHierarchyRoot%3 af27785dc-237e-4bea-8bfd-ad131c50934e&name=*&type=Vm" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="HierarchyItemList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host=urn%3aveeam%3aHierarchyRoot%3 afa099d3b-7376-49b1-884c-bb6fa47c7b1e&name=*&type=Vm" /> </Links> </LookupSvc>
The lookup service resource representation contains a set of links to hierarchy roots VMware and Hyper-V hosts added to Veeam backup servers that are managed by Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. By following a link from the resource representation, the client can get a list of VMs that reside on a specific VMware or Hyper-V host. The resource representation of the lookup service provides links to hosts and VMs only and may be used for browsing. To obtain a reference to a specific virtual hierarchy object, the client must construct a query string to the lookup service in a specific format. Tip: The reference to the virtual infrastructure object can also be constructed manually. To learn more, see Appendix A. Constructing HierarchyObjRefType.
Lookup Query
To obtain a resource representation of a specific virtual infrastructure object, the client can must construct a query string to the lookup service. The query string can be constructed in two ways: Using the object reference. With this type of query, you can get a resource representation of an object via its object reference. Using query parameters. With this type of query, you can get a list of references to objects that match the specified criteria.
Query String with Object Reference

If you have a reference to the virtual infrastructure object and want to get its resource representation, you can construct a query string of the following type:
http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?hierarchyRef={hierarchyRef}
where &hierarchyRef={hierarchyRef} identifies a hierarchy object reference. The hierarchy object reference is a string that is constructed by specific rules. This parameter explicitly refers to the necessary virtual infrastructure object and lets retrieve its resource representation. The example below returns a resource representation of the VM having the following object reference: urn:vCloud:Vm:fa099d3b-7376-49b1-884c-bb6fa47c7b1e.urn:vcloud:vm:6b2da27f-e653-495b-b5152b18bbb4d3ec.
Request : GET http://localhost:9399http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?hierarchyRef= urn:vCloud:Vm:fa099d3b-7376-49b1-884cbb6fa47c7b1e.urn:vcloud:vm:6b2da27f-e653-495b-b515-2b18bbb4d3ec Response: 200 Success Response Body: <HierarchyItems xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <HierarchyItem Type="HierarchyItem"> <ObjectRef>urn:vCloud:Vm:fa099d3b-7376-49b1-884cbb6fa47c7b1e.urn:vcloud:vm:6b2da27f-e653-495b-b5152b18bbb4d3ec</ObjectRef> <ObjectType>Vm</ObjectType> <ObjectName>dc-vm</ObjectName> </HierarchyItem> </HierarchyItems>
Query String with Parameters

If you want to get object references for one or several virtual infrastructure objects that match a specific criterion, you can construct a query string of the following type:
http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host={hostUID}&name=(objectName)&type=(o bjectType)
where: ?host={hostUID} identifies a VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V host to which the virtual infrastructure object belongs, for example: 3afa099d3b-7376-49b1-884c-bb6fa47c7b1e name identifies a name of the object in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy, for example: DC-VM type identifies the object type, for example: VM
The client can use the following object types in the query string:
For the VMware virtual environments: VM Host Cluster Template VirtualApp Vc Datacenter Folder Datastore ComputeResource ResourcePool
For vCloud Director: VcdSystem Organization OrgVdc Vapp Vm VappTemplate VmTemplate Vm Host Cluster Scvmm HostGroup
For the Hyper-V virtual environments:
The example below returns a VM named DC that resides on the host having the following ID: fa099d3b7376-49b1-884c-bb6fa47c7b1e.
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/web/#/api/lookup?host=urn:veeam:HierarchyRoot:fa099 d3b-7376-49b1-884c-bb6fa47c7b1e&name=DC&type=Vm Response: 200 Success Response Body: <HierarchyItems xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <HierarchyItem Type="HierarchyItem"> <ObjectRef>urn:vCloud:Vm:fa099d3b-7376-49b1-884cbb6fa47c7b1e.urn:vcloud:vm:340be4d6-8657-4d70-92d7-

GETTING STARTED
This section describes Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API specifications, provides a generalized RESTful workflow to let you quickly start with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API and offers a sample of the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API use.
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web Client

To work with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, you can use any browser or client application that supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager additionally offers its own client, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web Client, that you can use to evaluate and test capabilities of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web Client is a web-based client. It can be accessed via the Internet browser on the machine where Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is installed by the following URL:
http://<Enterprise-Manager>:9399/web
Unlike a web browser that allows you to send only GET HTTP requests, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web Client lets you send all types of HTTP requests by simply following URLs in a resource representation. For your convenience, resource URLs are underlined when you move the cursor over them. Additionally, you can access the list of current tasks and sessions using links at the top right corner of the window.
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API Client facilitates the client authentication. After you create a new logon session and log on to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, it automatically appends the authorization token to all requests to the server.
Authentication and Security

When starting work with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, the clients must first authenticate themselves. Client authentication involves two steps: 1. The client must log on to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager with the user name and password. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API implements Basic HTTP Authentication as defined by RFC 2617. The client must obtain an authorization token that must be used in all requests during the current logon session.
2.
Similar to user authentication in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web UI, client authentication in RESTful API dictates what operations the client can perform when working with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. That is, if the client is authenticated using an account that does not have enough permissions to perform some actions, it will not be able to execute them. For example, if the client logs on using the account with the Restore Operators role (the role that only allows restoring files via Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web UI), the client will not be able to perform such actions as job starting, stopping, editing and so on. When the client attempts to send a request to the corresponding URL, for example, a URL for job starting, it will get the Access denied error with the 403 Forbidden status code.
HTTP Authentication
Every work cycle with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API must begin with the client logon. The logon procedure includes the following steps: 1. 2. The client sends an unauthorized GET HTTP request to the base URL of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API: In the response body, the server returns a link for creating a new logon session:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/ Response: 200 Success Response Body: <EnterpriseManager xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Links> <Link Rel="Down" Type="LogonSessionList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/logonSessions" /> </Links> <SupportedVersions> <SupportedVersion Name="v1"> <Links> <Link Rel="Create" Type="LogonSession" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/sessionMngr/" /> </Links> </SupportedVersion> </SupportedVersions> </EnterpriseManager>
3.
The client sends the POST HTTP requests to the obtained URL to create a new logon session. In the header of the POST HTTP request, the client must provide the username and password of the account to be used for authentication. The account must have one of the following roles in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager: Portal Administrators Portal Users Restore Operators For logon, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API uses the Basic HTTP Authentication. For example, if the client uses the account with the following credentials: Username: User Password: Password the client must compose the User:Password base64 encoded:
VXNlcjpQYXNzd29yZA==
The Username:Password pair is supplied in the Authorization header to the POST HTTP request. In the value of the header, the client must prepend Basic before the Username:Password pair:
Authorization: Basic VXNlcjpQYXNzd29yZA==
4.
The server analyses the provided credentials and checks if the specified account has the Portal Administrator, Portal User or Restore Operator role in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. If the provided credentials are valid and logon has been successful, the server creates a new authentication token and returns it to the client with a representation of a new logon session. If the provided credentials are not valid or the Authentication header is missing, the server returns a 401 Unauthorized error in response. The server also returns the WWWAuthenticate header indicating the authorization scheme to be used, for example:
WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm=RestSvc
5.
If logon was successful, the server returns the created authentication token in the XRestSvcSessionId header of the response. The client must obtain the returned authentication token and add it to the header of every subsequent request to the server.
X-RestSvcSessionId: OsU6RL7OGkGKrPBGxKxURw==
Timeout Value for Idle Sessions

The timeout value for an idle logon session is 15 minutes. If the client sends no requests to the server for 15 minutes, the current session token expires. To continue working with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, the client must obtain a new authorization token from the server.
Logout
To log out, the client must delete a created logon session. A URL for a session deletion is provided in the representation of the logon session resource:
<Link Rel="Delete" Type="LogonSession" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/logonSessions/d4130a8b-3f5a-4999-8a33b02c7ff4b441" />
Tip:
For an example of the logon and logout procedures, see Beginner Example.
SSL Encryption

When Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API is running over HTTPS, the communication between the client and the server is secured with the SSL protocol. For SSL connections, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API uses the same SSL self-signed certificate that is created for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager during its installation. By default, when Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is installed, the SSL certificate is bind to the HTTPS port 9398.
To view the SSL certificate used for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, enter the following command in the command line:
netsh http show sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:9398
If the existing SSL certificate expires, you need to update the SSL certificate with the netsh command.
Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API Workflow

The workflow of communication with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API typically includes the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The client accesses Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API by its base URL: http://<Enterprise-Manager>:9399/api/ https://<Enterprise-Manager>:9398/api/ The client creates a new logon session and sends to the server user credentials to authenticate the user who plans to work with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. The server creates a new authentication token for the logon session. The server returns a resource representation of the logon session to the client: In the header of the logon session representation, the server returns the authorization token an ID of the created logon session. In the body of the logon session representation, the server returns a list of links for resources with which the client can work. The client retrieves the authorization token from the server response. The client retrieves a URL of the necessary resource from the server response and sends the GET HTTP request for the URL to get a representation of this resource. In the header of the request, the client sends the obtained authorization token. The server returns a resource representation to the client. The client parses the response and retrieves the information it needs from the received response. Typically, it is a URL of another resource or action the client wants to perform with the resource. Using the retrieved URL and the necessary HTTP verb, the client composes a new request to the server and so on and so forth.

Beginner Example
The example below describes the steps you should follow to get a list of Veeam backup servers connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. The example will help you start working with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API and perform basic operations such as logon, retrieving a resource representation and so on. To follow this exercise, you will perform the next steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Access Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API Perform logon Get a list of Veeam backup servers Perform logout
Step 1. Access Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Web API

To access Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, send the GET HTTP request to its base URL. The base URL is http://<Enterprise-Manager>:9399/api/, where: <Enterprise-Manager> is the name of the server on which Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is installed. 9399 is the HTTP communication port. By default, port 9399 is used for HTTP and port 9398 is used for HTTPS.
If you specified another port for communication over HTTP during the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager installation, adjust the port number in the URL as required.
GET http://localhost:9399/api/
Step 2. Perform Logon

Before you can start working with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API resources, you must log on to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and create a new logon session. 1. When you access the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API by its base URL, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager returns a representation with a link to a list of existing sessions and a link to creating a new logon session.
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/ Response: 200 Success Response Body: <EnterpriseManager xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0"> <Links> <Link Rel="Down" Type="LogonSessionList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/logonSessions" /> </Links> <SupportedVersions> <SupportedVersion Name="v1"> <Links> <Link Rel="Create" Type="LogonSession" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/sessionMngr/" />
</Links> </SupportedVersion> </SupportedVersions> </EnterpriseManager>
2.
As there are no existing logon session, you need to create a new one. A new logon session is created by sending the POST HTTP request to the /sessionMngr/ resource. In the header of the request, provide user credentials of the account you plan to use for the current logon session. To make up the credentials string: a) b) c) Construct a string in the username:password format. Encode the string with base64 encoding. Add the Authorization header to the POST HTTP request. In the value of the header, specify Basic <encoded_string>:
Authorization: Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjpUcmVzc3Bhc3Mx
3.
Send the composed POST HTTP request to the /sessionMngr/ resource. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will return a list of resources with which you can work using Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. In the UserName element, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will return a name of the user who is currently logged on. In the header of the response, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will supply a newly generated authorization token for the created logon session:
Request : POST http://localhost:9399/api/sessionMngr/ Request Header: Authorization: Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjpUcmVzc3Bhc3Mx Response: 201 Created Response Header: X-RestSvcSessionId: O9Msj3rq7EGUhtSMBQx+mw== Response Body: <LogonSession xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="LogonSession" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/logonSessions/2e712cc5-33d2-4f418cce-fe422fc259e6"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="EnterpriseManager" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupServerReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="JobReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/jobs" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="HierarchyRootReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/hierarchyRoots" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="RepositoryReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/repositories" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backups" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="RestorePointReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/restorePoints" /> <Link Rel="Down" Type="VmRestorePointReferenceList"

</LogonSession>
4.
You must copy the obtained RestSvcSessionId header and send it in the header of all subsequent requests to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.
Step 3. Get a List of Veeam Backup Servers

To get a list of all Veeam backup servers, you need to retrieve a resource representation of the /backupServers resource. This resource contains a collection of Veeam backup servers connected to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. 1. In the resource representation of the logon session created at the previous step, find a link to the /backupServers resource. The Rel attribute within the link component has the Down value and the Type attribute is set to BackupServerReferenceList or BackupServerList:
<Link Rel="Down" Type="BackupServerReferenceList" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers>
2.
Get the URL for the Veeam backup servers collection. The URL is provided in the Href attribute of the link component:
http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers
3.
Send the GET HTTP request to the retrieved URL. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will return a representation of all connected Veeam backup servers:

/vmRestorePoints/{ID}/mounts
Represents a mount point collection resource. Mount points are specific Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager objects that provide access to VM guest OS files. The /vmRestorePoints/{ID}/mounts collection resource becomes available only after the client performs file-level restore for the VM by sending the POST HTTP request to the /vmRestorePoints/{ID}/mounts resource. During the restore process, Veeam Backup & Replication mounts VM disks to the Veeam backup server. As a result, the VM guest OS files can be accessed through the mount point by the following path: C:\VeeamFLR\<vm-name>. The client can then browse the VM guest file system, get the necessary files and folders and restore them.

/vmRestorePoints/{ID}/mounts/{ID}/{filepath}
Represents a VM guest OS file or folder that can be restored. The /vmRestorePoints/{ID}/mounts/{ID}/{filepath} resource becomes available only after the client performs file-level restore for the VM by sending the POST HTTP request to the /vmRestorePoints/{ID}/mounts resource. During the restore process, Veeam Backup & Replication mounts VM disks to the Veeam backup server. As a result, the VM guest OS files can be accessed through the mount point by the following path: C:\VeeamFLR\<vm-name>. The client can then browse the VM guest file system, get the necessary files and folders and restore them.

/vmReplicaPoints/{ID}/mounts
Represents a mount point collection resource. Mount points are specific Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager objects that provide access to VM guest OS files. The /vmReplicaPoints/{ID}/mounts collection resource becomes available only after the client performs file-level restore for the VM replica by sending the POST HTTP request to the /vmReplicaPoints/{ID}/mounts resource. During the restore process, Veeam Backup & Replication mounts disks of a VM replica to the Veeam backup server. As a result, the VM replica guest OS files can be accessed through the mount point by the following path: C:\VeeamFLR\<vm-name>. The client can then browse the VM replica guest file system, get the necessary files and folders and restore them.

Make sure you are logged on to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager under the user account that belongs to the Portal Administrators or Portal Operators group. If you use the account that belongs to the Portal Viewers group, you will not be able to start the job. If you are logged on using the account that belongs to the Portal Operator group, make sure that your restore scope permits you to restore the necessary VM.

8.
In the resource representation of the task, the server also returns a link to the restore session resource created once the restore process is started. You can check the restore session details by sending the GET HTTP request to the restore session resource:
Request : GET http://localhost:9399/api/restoreSessions/b67a3603-81f446af-be68-9f2c2307465c?format=Entity Request Header: X-RestSvcSessionId NDRjZmJkYmUtNWE5NS00MTU2LTg4NjctOTFmMDY5YjdjMmNj Response: 200 Success Response Body: <RestoreSession xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="RestoreSession" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/restoreSessions/b67a3603-81f446af-be68-9f2c2307465c?format=Entity" Name="sql01-hv@2013-08-26 08:31:22" UID="urn:veeam:RestoreSession:b67a3603-81f4-46afbe68-9f2c2307465c" VmDisplayName="sql01-hv"> <Links> <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/15942270-fb564dcc-96e9-5f80e4725a15" Name="localhost" /> <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="RestoreSessionReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/restoreSessions/b67a3603-81f446af-be68-9f2c2307465c" Name="sql01-hv@2013-08-26 08:31:22" /> </Links> <JobType>RestoreVm</JobType> <CreationTimeUTC>2013-08-26T08:31:22Z</CreationTimeUTC> <EndTimeUTC>2013-08-26T08:31:34Z</EndTimeUTC> <State>Stopped</State> <Result>Success</Result> </RestoreSession>
Result
The VM is restored from the backup to its initial location.
Assigning a Restore Scope

Using Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API, you assign a restore scope to an account having the Restore Operators role in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. A restore scope can be assigned to a user account that belongs to the Portal Operators group in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. The restore scope is specified as a branch in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy. The client defines the upper node in the branch and all child nodes of the defined node become available to the user for restore. For example, if you want to allow the user to restore data from all VMs in the VMs resource pool, you need to send the parameters of the resource pool node when assigning a restore scope. As a result, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will allow the user to restore data from all VMs residing in the VMs resource pool.
Prerequisites
Make sure you are logged on to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager under the user account that belongs to the Portal Administrators group. Otherwise you will not be able to change configuration settings in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.

APPENDIX A. CONSTRUCTING HIERARCHYOBJREFTYPE

Some requests in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API require the client to provide a reference to the virtual infrastructure object, or HierarchyObjRefType. The HierarchyObjRefType object describes a specific node in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy. This object must be constructed for requests that refer to some node or level in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy, for example, a request editing a job or assigning a restore scope to the account in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. The HierarchyObjRefType object is constructed as a string that has the following pattern:
urn:<Platform>:<Type>:<HierarchyRootId>.<ObjectRef>
where: Platform is the platform on which the virtual infrastructure object is created: VMware, Hyperv or vCloud Type is the object type. In the VMware virtual environment, the HierarchyObjRefType can represent an object of the following types: VM Host Cluster Template VirtualApp Vc Datacenter Folder Datastore ComputeResource ResourcePool
In vCloud Director, the HierarchyObjRefType can represent an object of the following types: VcdSystem Organization OrgVdc Vapp Vm VappTemplate VmTemplate
In the Hyper-V virtual environment, the HierarchyObjRefType can represent an object of the following types:
Vm Host Cluster Scvmm HostGroup HierarchyRootID is a ID of the host on which the virtual infrastructure object resides. The HierarchyRootID can be obtained using the /hierarchyRoots resource. ObjectRef is an ID of the virtual infrastructure object itself: mo-ref or ID, depending on the virtualization platform.
For example, you need to to configure the HierarchyObjRefType string for the VM. The VM is described with the following settings: Platform: VMware Type: VM HierarchyRootID: vcprod.veeam.local having ID a2b0c55d-829a-4efe-bd95-125ee77ba9dd Mo-ref: vm-7870
The HierarchyObjRefType string will then look in the following way:

urn:VMware:Vm:a2b0c55d-829a-4efe-bd95-125ee77ba9dd.vm-7870
Note:
In addition to configuring the HierarchyObjRefType string manually, you can get the HierarchyObjRefType string for the necessary object in the virtual infrastructure hierarchy using the /lookupSvc resource.
