# GET /api/v1/backups/{backup}/contents

> What is inside one backup

- Group: backups
- Tier: R
- Required scope: read:hosting
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/backups/get-backup-contents

## Description

Lists the component items in a snapshot — databases, mailboxes, DNS zones, certificates, cron, FTP, the home directory — and browses the home directory's files when `path` is given.

## Path parameters

- `backup` — string (required)

## Query parameters

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response. Up to 255 characters.
- `backup_id` — string (required). The backup to look inside, from list_backups → backups[].id (24 hex characters).
- `item_id` — string. Browse a specific home-directory item instead of the snapshot's default one. Take it from this tool's own items[].id where browsable is true.
- `path` — string. An absolute path inside the backup's home directory to list, e.g. /domains/example.com/public_html.
