all-in-one/get-backup reports one archive in detail: when it was created, what it contains, how large it is and where it sits on disk.
Read it before a restore or a download, because size is the fact that decides whether either is going to work.

How it works
Because an All-in-One archive is a single file, “what it holds” is close to “everything” by default — the database plus uploads, themes and plugins, unless the export was narrowed when it was taken.
The path matters when you intend to move the archive by SFTP rather than through the browser, which for anything over a few hundred megabytes is usually the saner route.
The id must be exactly what all-in-one/list-backups returned. It is the archive filename, and the plugin is particular about it.
Input
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Yes | Archive identifier, exactly as returned by all-in-one/list-backups. |
What comes back
| Name | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
backup | object | The archive in full: timestamp, contents, size and location on disk. |
success | boolean | Whether the call completed. |
message | string | A one-line summary of what happened, suitable for showing a human. |
error_code | string | Present only on failure — a stable machine-readable reason, such as a missing field, a wrong field type or an unmet confirmation. |
Example
Ask your assistant:
How big is the archive from last Tuesday, and where is it on disk?
It resolves to one call:
{
"ability": "all-in-one/get-backup",
"parameters": {
"id": "acrossai-co-20260922-120000-abc123.wpress"
}
}Worth knowing
- Size against the free edition’s import limit is the practical question this answers.
- For anything large, moving the file by SFTP beats a browser upload.
- One file means one unit. There is no restoring just the uploads from an All-in-One archive.
