        This operation is asynchronous.

        It triggers a backup job and returns a job ID, which can be used to track the progress of the backup job.

        You can follow the progress of the backup job by calling [Get Backup Job](/api/api-reference/jobs/backup-jobs/get-backup-job) with the job ID.
