Parameter description

**Table 1** Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Explanation: Project ID of a tenant in a region. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID. Constraints: N/A Value range: N/A Default value: N/A
instance_id	Yes	Explanation: Instance ID. Constraints: N/A Value range: N/A Default value: N/A
backup_id	No	Explanation: Backup ID. Constraints: N/A Value range: N/A Default value: N/A
backup_type	No	Explanation: Backup type. Constraints: N/A Value range: auto: automated full backup manual: manual full backup fragment: differential full backup incremental: automated incremental backup (binlog backup for RDS for MySQL) Default value: N/A
status	No	Explanation: Backup status. Only the statuses of RDS for SQL Server full backups can be filtered. Constraints: N/A Value range: BUILDING: backup in progress COMPLETED: backup completed FAILED: backup failed Default value: N/A
offset	No	Explanation: Index offset. Constraints: If offset is set to N, the resource query starts from the N+1 piece of data. The value is 0 by default, indicating that the query starts from the first piece of data. The value must be a number but cannot be a negative number. Value range: An integer greater than or equal to 0 Default value: 0
limit	No	Explanation: Number of records to be queried. Constraints: The value cannot be a negative number. Value range: 1–100 Default value: 100
begin_time	No	Explanation: Query start time. Constraints: When begin_time is not empty, end_time is mandatory. Value range: The value is in the "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ" format. T is the separator between the calendar and the hourly notation of time. Z indicates the time zone offset. Default value: N/A
end_time	No	Explanation: Query end time. Constraints: When end_time is not empty, begin_time is mandatory. Value range: The value is in the "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ" format and must be later than the query start time. T is the separator between the calendar and the hourly notation of time. Z indicates the time zone offset. Default value: N/A
