How to specify delay parameter while taking online backup using curl on AEM 6.2

Hi,

Could anyone let me know how to specify the delay parameter in the curl command while taking online backup on AEM v6.2.

The I use for AEM 5.6 is as follows :

/usr/bin/curl -u admin:${PASSWORD} --data "delay=0&force=false&target=${DEST}/AEM_${ID}_${DATE}.zip" http://${SERVER}:${PORT}/libs/granite/backup/content/admin/backups
.html

Could someone let me know the equivalent for AEM 6.2 please.

The one I have for 6.2 is :

/usr/bin/curl -u admin:${PASSWORD} -X POST http://${SERVER}:${PORT}/system/console/jmx/com.adobe.granite%3Atype%3DRepository/op/startBackup/java.lang.String?target=${DE
ST}/AEM_${ID}_${DATE}.zip

    in cron job you need to call 2 curl command. One to set delay & next is to take a backup.

    curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4502/system/console/jmx/com.adobe.granite:type=Repository/a/BackupDelay?value=0

    By default there is delay of 10. If you want to change change the attribute BackupDelay on the same mbean DomainName = com.adobe.granite type= Repository

    Am afraid your answer is not quite clear to me. What I am trying to achieve is setup a cronjob to take backup of my instance daily. Could you let me know what parameter to add in the curl command to set delay to zero.
