# GetBackupData

Lists recently exported data files, and recent locations used by backup operations. This list includes:

- backups from DREBACKUP
- backups that occur before DRECOMPACT
- data files exported by the DREEXPORTIDX and DREEXPORTXML index actions

The response includes a `<backup_required>` tag to indicate whether the index has changed since the last backup.

You can configure the number of backups to store and return in the response by using the BackupListLength configuration parameter.

This backup list result is not affected if you initialize or restore your index by using a DREINITIAL action, because it reports the state of the external files, rather than the state of the index.

NOTE:

This is an administrative action that can be sent only from AdminClients (which are set in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file).

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=GetBackupData
