List Destinations

Read-only

JetBackup Backup & Site Management jetbackup/list-destinations

List configured backup destinations.

Requires the JetBackup plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when the wp_register_ability() function exists), and JetBackup's own 'Abilities API' toggle must be turned on under Settings > Security. Every ability is additionally gated by JetBackup's permission callback: the caller must be logged in and hold the WordPress 'manage_options' capability (and be a network admin on multisite), and if JetBackup's MFA is enabled and abilities aren't explicitly allowed to bypass it, the caller must also have passed MFA validation.

What it does

This ability lists the storage destinations JetBackup can send backups to (local storage, remote/cloud destinations, etc). Each entry includes its id, unique_id, name, path, type, notes, whether it's enabled and/or read-only, free disk space, whether it's set to export config backups, its options (with any sensitive fields such as stored credentials masked out), chunk size, whether it's the default destination, and how many backup jobs are currently assigned to it. Results are paginated with skip and limit. This gives an AI assistant visibility into where backups are stored and how much room is left on each destination.
