# Get Backups

`GET /api/v1/backups`

Todoist creates a backup archive of users' data on a daily basis. Backup
archives can also be accessed from the web app (Todoist Settings ->
Backups).

This endpoint accepts the `backups:read` scope, the `data:read_write`
scope, or a personal API token. The `backups:read` scope bypasses MFA and
only grants access to `GET /api/v1/backups`. When using `data:read_write`
or a personal API token for an account with MFA enabled, the MFA token is
required.

## Query parameters

- `mfa_token` string, nullable — MFA token required when using a `data:read_write` token for an account with MFA enabled.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- BackupResponse[]
  - `version` string, required — Date and time of the backup version
  - `url` string, required — Backup URL

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad Request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — Forbidden
- `404` — Not Found
