# Show backup service

GET https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/backup-services/{site_preset_backup}

Read how one website is backed up. The id is the website's backup service id: read it from the `site_preset_backup` include of a website (`GET /api/public/v1/sites/{site}?include=site_preset_backup`, which also carries the backup global configuration the website uses) or from `meta.updated` of "Assign websites to a backup configuration".

Response attributes: `status` (enabled, disabled), `schedule` (the schedule inherited from the configuration), `filesystem` (`default` copies the WordPress files and the database as two areas, `custom` lets each area be chosen), `content.included` (the areas copied), `content.excluded` (the exclusions configured in the dashboard), `last_request`, `next_request` and the timestamps. These settings read back under the same keys "Update backup service" accepts.

A website that was never assigned a configuration has no backup service. A backup service of another organization answers 404.
