Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a `pve-devel` or rather a `pve-user` question, 
but since I'm developing against the Proxmox VE API I'm trying it here first.

I want to get a status for all configured backup jobs via the PVE API (those 
you can find below `cluster/backup/{id}/`). There I can see which VMs are being 
backed up and when the backup should take place but I can't see the status of 
the last backup (better would be last N).

What I *can* see is a list of tasks which have been run on a given node, say 
`node/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status|log`. There I find an exit status and a 
console log:

> INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 101 102 103 104 105 100 --compress lzo 
> --quiet 1 --storage QNAP --mailnotification always --mode snapshot --mailto 
> ***@**.com

Relevant data I *could* get from here (by parsing the log):

* VMID: 100
* started at 2020-01-16 00:00:02"
* '/mnt/pve/QNAP/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2020_01_16-00_00_02.vma.lzo'
* backup task 'd9f7c327-e610-4e38-931e-2251c9548e76'
* 64424 MB
* 165 seconds (390 MB/s)
* archive file size: 4.53GB
* exit status via `node/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status`

What I'm missing:

* a way to link `node/{node}/tasks/{upid}` to `cluster/backup/{id}` (for me 
`node/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status/id` is always empty)
* I'm not sure whether the task I'm looking for is still there or if it has 
been cleaned up already
* I have to parse the log manually which is error prone and might change in the 
future

So is there a way for me to get information like this via the API directly:?

VMID    Job-ID              Started Status Duration    Size
 123  a39..8ab  2020-01-16 00:00:02     OK     1:23  7.81GB
 131  f3h..ab4  2020-01-16 00:00:02     OK     0:37  1.23GB

Thanks
Frans
