  Table 2 Parameter description

  Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
  protect	Yes	protect_param	Backup parameters For details, see Table 3.

• Parameter description of field protect_param

  Table 3 Parameter description of field protect_param

  Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
  backup_name	No	String	Backup name. The value consists of 1 to 255 characters and can contain only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
  description	No	String	Backup description. The value consists of 0 to 255 characters and must not contain a greater-than sign (>) or less-than sign (<).
  incremental	No	Boolean	Backup type. Value True indicates incremental backup and value False indicates full backup. For the initial backup, full backup is always adopted, in spite of which value is set.
  resource_type	No	String	Entity object type of the backup object The current value is OS::Nova::Server indicating that the backup object is an ECS. If this parameter is not passed, the backup object type defaults to OS::Nova::Server.
  extra_info	No	Dict	Additional information about the backup object
  app_consistency	No	Integer	Whether to perform application-consistent backup. Possible values are 0 (no), 1 (yes, and stop backing up data after the application-consistent backup fails), and 2 (yes, and continue to perform crash-consistent backup after the application-consistent backup fails). If app_consistency is not specified, application-consistent backup will not be performed. Application-consistent backup backs up files and disks at the same point in time, including memory data, to ensure data integrity and consistency. Before using this parameter, check whether the current site supports this feature.
