Start a bulk export job

Bulk export files from your project on the Seven Bridges Platform into your volume. One call can contain up to 100 items.

Files selected for export must not be public files or aliases. Aliases are objects stored in your cloud storage bucket which have been made available on the Platform. The volume you are exporting to must be configured for read-write access. To do this, set the access_mode parameter to RW when creating or modifying a volume.

Essentially, the call writes to your cloud storage bucket via the volume. If this call is successful, the original project files will become aliases to the newly exported objects on the volume. Source files will be deleted from the Platform and, if no more copies of the files exist, they will no longer count towards your total storage price on the Platform. In summary, once you export files from the Platform to a volume, they are no longer part of the storage on the Platform and cannot be exported again.

When exporting a file from the Platform to an attached volume, export is possible only to a volume that is in the same location (cloud provider and region) as the project from which the file is being exported.
