• backup field description

  Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
  volume_id	Yes	string	ID of the disk to be backed up
  snapshot_id	Yes	string	Snapshot ID of the disk to be backed up
  name	No	string	Backup name. The value is a string of 1 to 64 characters that can contain digits, letters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-), not starting with auto.
  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 (<).
  container	No	string	Backup container. This parameter is reserved and will be skipped.
  incremental	No	boolean	Whether it is an incremental backup. The value true indicates an incremental backup and false indicates a full backup. By default, VBS generates a full backup for the initial backup operation and incremental backups for subsequent backup operations. Therefore, this parameter is skipped.

  project_id	No	string	Project ID For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
