How to execute a Plan via CLI?

[Snake883]

Within the Backrest UI, I created a Plan called "AppData".
How do I execute the Plan from the command line?

Other Info:
I am running Backrest as a Docker container.

Do you have an answer yet?

Backrest doesn't provide any CLI but there is a semi-stable API

https://garethgeorge.github.io/backrest/docs/api#backup-api

So specifically to execute a plan, first disable authentication (ensure your service is only listening on localhost before doing this) then:

curl -X POST 'localhost:9898/v1.Backrest/Backup' --data '{"value": "YOUR_PLAN_ID"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Thank you, this is probably sufficient for my use case.
