**Issue**
---------

[Acquia Cloud Drush](/node/56325) commands can be confusing when referencing an environment specific database. Luckily, the API infers from your command which environment the database is in.

**Resolution**
--------------

You might be tempted to add the environment to your database name:

    drush @mysitegroup.test ac-database-instance-backup mysitegroupstg

Which will result in an error:

    message : Resource not found
    API status code 404

The 404 occurs because the API cannot find a database name match for "mysitegroupstg."

Instead, use the database name, which is the same across all environments. For example:

    drush @mysitegroup.test ac-database-instance-backup mysitegroup
