Overview

This node enables creating a backup for a specific project using the mittwald mStudio API. It is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically trigger backups of your projects, for example, before deploying changes or as part of a scheduled maintenance routine. By automating project backups, you ensure data safety and quick recovery options.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Id The unique identifier of the project for which the backup will be created.
Description A textual description of the backup. Defaults to "I'm a ProjectBackup" if not specified.
Expiration Time The time when the backup should expire and presumably be deleted or invalidated.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after creating the backup. This typically includes details about the newly created backup such as its ID, status, creation timestamp, and other metadata returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.mittwald.de.
  • The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content (Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Project Id: The node requires a valid project ID; ensure it is correctly provided and corresponds to an existing project.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify the API key configuration.
  • Expiration Time format: Ensure the expiration time is provided in a format accepted by the API; otherwise, the request may be rejected.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL settings can cause failures; verify network access and configuration.
