Version 3.12.1

4.1. List backups

To display a list of created backups on all storage, just use the command nxs-backup ls backups. The command takes the name of a job or group of jobs as an argument. If no group is specified, the default value all is used.

The example below shows a list of files for all jobs on all storage:

$ nxs-backup ls backups
External backup jobs  # Group of exterbal backups
└── my_ext            # Job name
    └── ext_bak.sh    # External command used
