id (str) – id in message bundle
default_message (str) – text in english
args (list of str) – nested data

class LocationType(string)¶

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.enum.Enum

Job.LocationType class Defines type of all locations for backup/restore

Note

This class represents an enumerated type in the interface language definition. The class contains class attributes which represent the values in the current version of the enumerated type. Newer versions of the enumerated type may contain new values. To use new values of the enumerated type in communication with a server that supports the newer version of the API, you instantiate this class. See enumerated type description page.
