REST API • REST API and Proxmox hypervisor

Dear all,

I am currently testing the Veeam API with the goal of developing internal tools to empower users to manage their own VM backups, rather than relying on manual requests.

So far, I have successfully obtained an authentication token and executed several API calls. For instance, the /api/v1/backups endpoint correctly returns all VMs that currently have backups.

However, I am encountering an issue when querying /api/v1/jobs—the response always contains an empty data array:
Interestingly, other endpoints such as /api/v1/backupInfrastructure/repositories return valid data, but anything under the "jobs" or "tasks" sections consistently yields empty results.

Could this behavior be related to the fact that we are using Proxmox as the hypervisor? I've noticed that Veeam Enterprise Manager also does not display any information related to Proxmox backups—it only shows data from Veeam Agent backups. This leads me to believe the REST API might exhibit the same limitations.

If additional details are needed to assist with this issue, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you and best regards,
Yanick
