Jira REST API Backup with Powershell

Austin Luu_yf2p2m

Hello,

I'm having some issues try to create a session and then creating a backup with the rest api through powershell. Below is my code, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Appreciate any advice!

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

$user = 'austin.luu91@gmail.com'
$pass = #API Token
$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))
$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
$Headers = @{
Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Method Post -Uri "https://15sof1.atlassian.net/rest/auth/1/session" -Headers $headers -SessionVariable session -ContentType 'application/json'
$InitiateBackup = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Headers @{"Accept"="application/json"} -Uri "https://15sof1.atlassian.net/rest/backup/1/export/runbackup" -WebSession $session -ContentType 'application/json' -Body $bodyjson -Verbose | ConvertTo-Json -Compress | Out-Null

Hello Austin,

We do have a PowerShell script which can be used to backup cloud instances. This script is within Bitbucket and is publicly viewable. Please take a look at the following (You’ll need to add the top variables to your script to make it work).

If you have any issues with this script, please let us know.
