Public Preview: please provide feedback at: Requests one snapshot for the specified shared cluster.

This resource returns a snapshotURL that you can use to download the snapshot. This snapshotURL remains active for four hours after you make the request. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Project Owner role.

This endpoint can also be used on Flex clusters that were created using the createCluster endpoint or former M2/M5 clusters that have been migrated to Flex clusters until January 2026, after which this endpoint will be sunset. Please use the downloadFlexBackup endpoint instead.

This command is autogenerated and corresponds 1:1 with the Atlas API endpoint https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/api-resources-spec/v2/#tag/Shared-Tier-Snapshots/operation/downloadSharedClusterBackup.

For more information and examples, see the referenced API documentation linked above.

Name
Type
Required
Description

--clusterName

string

true

Human-readable label that identifies the cluster.

--envelope

envelope

false

Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an envelope JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.

--file

string

false

path to your API request file. Leave empty to use standard input instead - you must provide one or the other, but not both.

--groupId

string

true

Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the [/groups](#tag/Projects/operation/listProjects) endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.

NOTE: Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your group id is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

-h, --help

false

help for downloadSharedClusterBackup
