Looks good broadly, but part of me wonders if it should be a separate plugin. I don't know enough about Proxmox to make that call though.
- Do most people that uses Proxmox use the backup server too?
- Can you use the backup server without using Proxmox?

Return ISO 8601 timestamp strings for all PBS timestamp fields. The scripts currently emit Unix milliseconds for fields declared with the timestamp semantic shape. Convert these values with new Date(value * 1000).toISOString() while preserving null values. Apply this to last-backup in pbsBackupGroups.js, backup-time in pbsGroupSnapshots.js, and starttime/endtime in pbsMaintenanceTasks.js.

Group the chart by backup-group identity.
pbsGroupSnapshots emits only snapshot fields and does not emit a backup-group label. This chart aggregates the Backup Groups scope by comment, so empty or repeated comments combine snapshots from different backup groups. Add a stable backup-group label and use it for both group.by and xAxisData.

@clarkd I did wonder whether it should be a standalone plugin, but I figured it made more sense to group them for most use cases. As far as I can tell, most proxmox users use the backup server for their backups, it is standalone, but part of the configuration sits within the Proxmox server's configuration. I had a quick search, and it is possible to use the server to take snapshots of Linux VM's outside of a Proxmox VE environment, but the restore functionality sits within the main server and I wasn't able to find much reference of people using the backup server independently, with alternatives like Veeam available. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1ovysiq/is_proxmox_backup_server_the_right_option_for/ Happy to split out if you think necessary though? |
Fair enough - let's keep it together. |

📋 Summary
Adds support for Proxmox Backup Server (a common backup solution provided by Proxmox used to take snapshots of VM's and LXC's as well as your environmental configuration.) Adding relevant import functionality along with additional out of box dashboards to accompany this.
