Take a site backup
create_backup
Takes a snapshot of a site's pages and components as they are right now, so restore_backup can roll the site back to it later.
Scopesites:writeMakes changes
Only the pages and components go into it. Stored files, database rows, environment variables and the site's source files do not, so a restore does not bring them back either. The source code has its own history in the Code tab of Backups, which list_code_backups lists.
The snapshot is typed manual, and the response carries its row. The name is optional but well worth setting.
