backup automation via REST API

Question

For some reason I have difficulties to get a valid response when running the curl script

This:

curl --location 'https://api.atlassian.com/public/backup-management/v2/orgs/the-new-created-token/policies' \
--header 'X-Atl-Account-Id: IDIDID \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: ••••••' \
--data '{
"product": "JIRA",
"includeAttachments": true,
"includePersonalSpaces": true,
"scheduleRequest": {
   "interval": "ONCE",
   "startDate": "today and now"
},
"policyName": "jira"
}'

leads to that:

{
   "timestamp": "2026-02-04T15:49:45.424+00:00",
   "status": 404,
   "requestId": "161bca59-59861",
   "message": null
}

My brain is unable to realize why it leads to ERR 404

Is there anyone with similar experience and know how to solve it or where is the point I'm thinking wrong?

Of course i did. Result: see above. Need to check something on our side. The answer is changing depending on the location and equipment I'm using. Need to clear this out first.

Thanks for the support

Have you changed the headers or payload? If so, show us what you are using now.

If you did not change anything then see in my original reply what I said about the Authorization header.

sorry, it was not the point. 
But now I am fom 404 to 401  -

{"code":401,"message":"Unauthorized"}%

Seems the right way, just the authorization fails for some reason
