Issue How to create a backup using the Plesk REST API?

[Richard Mauritz]

Sorry for the many question, but the problem is that alot of info regarding Plesk's API's are missing.

I was wondering if I can make a backup using Plesk's REST API. According to the documentation I can use the command line using the following:

/cli/{id}/call

The backup command will then look as following:

/cli/pleskbackup/call

But it needs parameters, how can I pass parameters to it? Ive tried the following, but that doens't work. `{ "params": ["--server"] }`

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://<hostname>:<port>/api/v2/cli/pleskbackup/call');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{ "params": ["--server"] }');

It returns:

{
    "code": 1,
    "stdout": "",
    "stderr": ""
}

But it doens't start a backup.

Can someone help me out here?
