Nope, this is not something i had in mind, neither does it seem =
appropriate.

If you wanr access to storage.DataBackup from REST I would reccomend =
creating your own XQuery extension module for this purpose with some =
sort of synchronous method that does a backup and then returns the =
result.

Would this possibly also be related to exposing storage.DataBackup as =
well?

I need a way to initiate a fast snap-shot backup of the database via =
REST.

If DataBackup could be scheduled to run as soon as the xquery completes, =
that'd=20
be a big help.

I also need a mechanism to determine that the backup has completed. If=20
DataBackup writes out to one single .zip file, I'd have to keep polling =
to see if the=20
file stops changing to know it was "done". =20

If scheduling a task returns a "task id" and if there's some short =
history list that=20
could be subsequently queried to determine if that task id has finished, =
that'd be=20
one way to know the backup had run and finished.
