This page describes the backup and recovery APIs for instance data in
Cloud Data Fusion.
Supported backup and recovery
You can back up and restore the following types of information using the
Cloud Data Fusion REST API.
Recommended: To restore the pipelines, import the
pipelines from the
Cloud Data Fusion UI, which lets you adjust the
version number in the pipeline JSON. Deployment through the API requires a
proper JSON adoption.
