Basically, the backup/restore tasks will be managed through our backup
solution. So, all we needed is VM config which can be fetched through PVE REST
API and a API to get access to consistent disk image which can be then
transferred to backup storage that we support. But it looks like this is not
possible with current design of provider APIs.
Is there any chance of developing new library which can provide access to
consistent disk image in near future?
Regards,
Prashant

There are no endpoints in the Proxmox VE REST API for setting up backup access
to a guest or similar. And the backup provider API is simply not designed for
this, but to be fully integrated in Proxmox VE. What you can do is leverage
Proxmox VE REST API for the backup/restore tasks, but not just for parts of
such tasks.
