# Return a List of Backup Files

To find out what backup files are available for your IDOL Content component, you can send the `GetBackupData` action. This action returns a list of the backup files that you can use to restore your index.

    http://ContentHhost:ACIport/action=GetBackupData

where:

`ContentHost` | is the IP address or host name of the machine on which Content is installed.
`ACIPort` | is the Content ACI port (specified by the `Port` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the Content configuration file).

To find out which backup file Content would use to restore to a particular backup time, you can set the `GetBackupForRestoreTime` parameter to the backup time that you want. In this case, the action returns the single backup file that is used to restore to this time. For a list of available date formats, see Date formats .
