describe_backups

describe_backups(**kwargs)

Describes backups. The results are ordered by time, with newest backups first. If you do not specify a BackupId or ServerName, the command returns all backups.

This operation is synchronous.

A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the backup does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are not valid.
