API - Get the backup status of specific VMID

[LodgedDrip]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to get the latest status of a VM backup, if it was successful, had any errors, time taken etc. Is this possible at the moment via existing API calls to either the Proxmox VE or Backup Server API endpoints?

Are you looking for this? https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/status/current

You should find that if you search for "status" in the api viewer

That doesn't seem to return the backup status though? unless I'm missing something here?

Sorry, my bad. No, I don't think that there's a dedicated endpoint. You probably have to query the tasks and search for the latest backup job yourself

There is not direct endpoint for getting Backup status for a VMID..as how to get a UID for Task for a given backup ..??
