- alicloud-backup-hbr
- description
- Manage Alibaba Cloud Cloud Backup (HBR) via OpenAPI/SDK. Use whenever the user asks for backup lifecycle operations such as resource listing, policy/config updates, job status queries, and troubleshooting HBR backup or restore workflows.
- version
- 1.0.0
Category: service
Cloud Backup
Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage resources for Cloud Backup.
Workflow
1) Confirm region, resource identifiers, and desired action. 2) Discover API list and required parameters (see references). 3) Call API with SDK or OpenAPI Explorer. 4) Verify results with describe/list APIs.
AccessKey priority (must follow)
1) Environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALICLOUD_REGION_ID Region policy: ALICLOUD_REGION_ID is an optional default. If unset, decide the most reasonable region for the task; if unclear, ask the user. 2) Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials
API discovery
- Product code:
hbr - Default API version:
2017-09-08 - Use OpenAPI metadata endpoints to list APIs and get schemas (see references).
High-frequency operation patterns
1) Inventory/list: prefer List* / Describe* APIs to get current resources. 2) Change/configure: prefer Create* / Update* / Modify* / Set* APIs for mutations. 3) Status/troubleshoot: prefer Get* / Query* / Describe*Status APIs for diagnosis.
Minimal executable quickstart
Use metadata-first discovery before calling business APIs:
python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.pyOptional overrides:
python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py --product-code <ProductCode> --version <Version>The script writes API inventory artifacts under the skill output directory.
Output policy
If you need to save responses or generated artifacts, write them under: output/alicloud-backup-hbr/
Validation
mkdir -p output/alicloud-backup-hbr
for f in skills/backup/alicloud-backup-hbr/scripts/*.py; do
python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/alicloud-backup-hbr/validate.txtPass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-backup-hbr/validate.txt is generated.
Output And Evidence
- Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under
output/alicloud-backup-hbr/. - Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.
Prerequisites
- Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
- Prefer environment variables:
ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID,ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optionalALICLOUD_REGION_ID. - If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
