Hello,

I am currently working on a dedicated workflow to split the content of multiple subclients to have subclients with the same size.

 

 

To do that, I would like to perform a “Browse & Restore” on the backup set using API call to retrieve all the volume size and perform my distribution.

I’ve tried to find something like GET /Subclient/{{id}}/Browse?path=%5C call for backup sets but I found nothing.

I tried to perform a GET /Subclient/{{id}}/Browse?path=%5C but the returned status code is 400.

 

Maybe you will be able to give me a workaround or inform me about hidden API calls?

 

Thank you in advance for your answers.

@JohnADP The call you’re trying to make is at subclient level. For Backupset level, please refer to this API:

 

https://api.commvault.com/#0c619151-3c40-44f6-b73e-d7a5b2f8e5dc

(Look for: Browse - Backupset Level on the right column drop down)

 

Here is an example to browse at backup set level on D drive:

POST {{ServerUrl}}/DoBrowse

{
  "opType": 0,
  "queries": r
    {
      "type": 1,
      "queryId": "countQuery",
      "aggrParam": {
        "field": 0,
        "aggrType": 4
      }
    },
    {
      "type": 0,
      "queryId": "dataQuery",
      "dataParam": {
        "sortParam": {
          "ascending": true,
          "sortBy": r
            38,
            0
          ]
        },
        "paging": {
          "firstNode": 0,
          "pageSize": 15,
          "skipNode": 0
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "mode": {
    "mode": 2
  },
  "paths": a
    {
      "path": "D:\\"
    }
  ],
  "options": {
    "showDeletedFiles": true,
    "restoreIndex": true
  },
  "entity": {
    "applicationId": 33,
    "backupsetId": 3,
    "instanceId": 1,
    "clientId": 2
  }
}
