Is it possible to collect backup information from the restapi? this could be very usefull when you want to present backup information to end users from within our customer portal.

Currently we have the following backup routes:

  • backup/jobs/:type: collections of backup jobs, grouped by type (metadata, mirror, vm)
  • backup/logs: collections of backup run logs (for all types)

Any idea where we should put the collection of the VM backup files?

I run this command remotely and it returns JSON array. Using this output I can identify which restore points exist for each VM

xo-cli backupNg.listVmBackups --json remotes="json:'[`"02fcd7e4-7172-46ec-a43f-2eb79fd00009`",`"f2c432dc-eddb-41bc-828f-67121529904c`"]'"

Note that I am limiting the output to only show me backups that exist in specific "remotes" but you may not need to do this.

I am interested if there is a REST API call that produces the same output? @julien-f

So just a list we can show on a per vm basis.

/rest/v0/backup/logs?fields=tasks
