<p>Returns the description of a specific Amazon FSx backup, if a <code>BackupIds</code> value is provided for that backup. Otherwise, it returns all backups owned by your Amazon Web Services account in the Amazon Web Services Region of the endpoint that you're calling.</p> <p>When retrieving all backups, you can optionally specify the <code>MaxResults</code> parameter to limit the number of backups in a response. If more backups remain, Amazon FSx returns a <code>NextToken</code> value in the response. In this case, send a later request with the <code>NextToken</code> request parameter set to the value of the <code>NextToken</code> value from the last response.</p> <p>This operation is used in an iterative process to retrieve a list of your backups. <code>DescribeBackups</code> is called first without a <code>NextToken</code> value. Then the operation continues to be called with the <code>NextToken</code> parameter set to the value of the last <code>NextToken</code> value until a response has no <code>NextToken</code> value.</p> <p>When using this operation, keep the following in mind:</p> <ul> <li> <p>The operation might return fewer than the <code>MaxResults</code> value of backup descriptions while still including a <code>NextToken</code> value.</p> </li> <li> <p>The order of the backups returned in the response of one <code>DescribeBackups</code> call and the order of the backups returned across the responses of a multi-call iteration is unspecified.</p> </li> </ul>
