Initiate a cluster-level backup

This topic describes how to initiate a cluster-level backup by using obshell-sdk-python.

Considerations

• Make sure that obshell is running.

• The node corresponding to the client must be in an initialized cluster.

Example code

The following example shows how to initiate a cluster-level backup:

from obshell import ClientSet
from obshell.auth import PasswordAuth

# Create a client instance with the node address '10.10.10.1' and port 2886.
client = ClientSet("10.10.10.1", 2886, PassswordAuth("****"))
client.v1.start_cluster_backup_sync("full")
