Scripting snapshots and backups

[Lucian]

Hello,

I was looking to do some snapshots and backups programatically via scripts around qm/pvesm, however can't seem to find the said feature in the man pages. Is there another utility I should be looking at?

I found out the utility for backups, it's called vzdump right?
How do I script creating a backup schedule?

Realised "qm" can indeed manage snapshots. Double checked the help options and there it was..

backup schedules are written in /etc/pve/vzdump.cron
via the api calls /cluster/backup (more info here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API )
you can access the api directly with 'pvesh'
