Read Veeam next run from the live schedule

On VBR 13 a job's ScheduleOptions property is a stale snapshot: NextRun
is empty (and its LatestRunLocal years old), so every Veeam job showed
no next run and could never be flagged Overdue. GetScheduleOptions() /
Get-VBRJobScheduleOptions return the live schedule ("2026-10-09
12:15:00 AM"). Use GetScheduleOptions(), falling back to the property.

Immediate-mode backup copy jobs (IsContinuous) have a live NextRun too,
but it's a stale date months in the past, which would show as Overdue;
keep reporting no next run for them.

Parsing tries the current culture, then invariant; VBR 13's format
parsed correctly under en-CA, en-US, fr-CA and en-GB. Mock updated to
VBR 13's schedule shape.

+# Azure Backup (MARS agent) collector
+
+A PowerShell script that runs on each server with the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS)
+agent and reports its backups to the dashboard. Each server appears as one job,
+named `<SERVER> - Azure Backup` by default.
+
+> **Checked against:** MARS agent 2.0.9274, a Files & Folders policy with completed backups only.
+> Not yet seen on a real agent: a failed backup, a backup in progress, or a System State policy.
+> Those paths are written to the same object model, but if one looks wrong, run
+> `Get-MarsCollectorDiagnostics.ps1` while it's in that state and send the output.
+
+## Install (on the server, as an administrator)
+
+Runs under Windows PowerShell 5.1 (`powershell.exe`), which the agent's `MSOnlineBackup` module
+targets and which every supported Windows Server has.
+
+1. On the dashboard host, create a key for this server:
+   ```bash
+   python manage.py create-key mars-acme-fs01
+   ```
+2. Copy this folder to the server and run:
+   ```powershell
+   .\Install-MarsCollector.ps1 -ApiUrl https://backups.example.com -Tenant "Acme Corp"
+   ```
+   Add `-JobName "File Server"` to choose the name shown on the dashboard. It prompts for the
+   key, then:
+   - writes `C:\ProgramData\BackupDashboard\mars-collector.json` (readable only by SYSTEM and Administrators)
+   - copies the script to `C:\Program Files\BackupDashboard\`
+   - registers the scheduled task **Backup Dashboard - MARS collector** (SYSTEM, every 60 minutes)
+3. Preview the payloads, then backfill 30 days so the history view is populated straight away:
+   ```powershell
+   powershell.exe -File 'C:\Program Files\BackupDashboard\Send-MarsBackupStatus.ps1' -DryRun
+   powershell.exe -File 'C:\Program Files\BackupDashboard\Send-MarsBackupStatus.ps1' -LookbackHours 720
+   ```
+
+It can be installed alongside the Veeam collector: it uses its own config, state, log and task.
+Re-run the installer to change settings or update the script.
+
+## What it sends
+
+| Dashboard | MARS |
+|---|---|
+| Company | `Tenant` from the config |
+| Job | One per server, ID `mars:<computer name>`, so changing `JobName` renames rather than duplicates it |
+| Status | Backup job state: Failed → **Failed**. Completed with failed bytes or an error → **Warning**. Aborted/cancelled or unrecognised → **Warning**. In progress → **Running**. Restore jobs are ignored |
+| Started / finished | Job start / end time. MARS reports these in UTC without marking them as UTC; the collector handles that |
+| Next scheduled | Next slot from the backup policy schedule, or the System State policy's if that's sooner. Empty (so never Overdue) for schedules that run every 2+ weeks, since which week is next can't be told |
+| Message | Job and per-datasource errors (non-zero error codes), failed file counts, and the failed-file log path |
+| Size | Bytes transferred, summed across datasources |
+
+Each run covers the last 48 hours (`LookbackHours`). Jobs already delivered are recorded in
+`mars-collector.state.json`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Log: `C:\ProgramData\BackupDashboard\mars-collector.log`. Exit codes: `0` OK, `1` some runs
+  failed to send (retried next run), `2` setup failed (config or MARS module).
+- Wrong status, sizes or messages: run `.\Get-MarsCollectorDiagnostics.ps1` (read-only). It prints
+  the real structure of the objects the agent's cmdlets return.

+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+    Reports Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent backups to the Backup Dashboard.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Runs on a server with the MARS agent, normally as a SYSTEM scheduled task every 60 minutes
+    (see Install-MarsCollector.ps1). The server appears on the dashboard as one job. Each run sends:
+      - the next scheduled backup, worked out from the backup (and System State) policy schedules,
+        which drives the dashboard's Overdue flag, and
+      - every backup job from the last LookbackHours that the dashboard hasn't already received in
+        its final state. A backup in progress is sent as Running until it finishes.
+
+    Already-reported jobs are tracked in a state file, and the ingest API is idempotent, so a
+    failed or repeated run is harmless: anything not confirmed is retried next time.
+
+    Written for Windows PowerShell 5.1, which the MARS agent's MSOnlineBackup module targets.
+
+.PARAMETER ConfigPath

+.SYNOPSIS

+.DESCRIPTION

+    - Registers a scheduled task that runs every IntervalMinutes under Windows PowerShell 5.1

+# Windows Server Backup collector
+
+A PowerShell script that runs on each server using Windows Server Backup (WSB) and reports its
+backups to the dashboard. Each server appears as one job, named `<SERVER> - Windows Server Backup`
+by default.
+
+> **Checked against:** Server 2019 Hyper-V host backing up VMs, successful backups only.
+> Not yet seen on a real server: a failed backup, a failed VM or volume, or a backup in progress.
+> Those paths are written to the same object model, but if one looks wrong, run
+> `Get-WsbCollectorDiagnostics.ps1` while it's in that state and send the output.
+
+## Install (on the server, as an administrator)
+
+Requires the Windows Server Backup feature with its PowerShell module
+(`Install-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup`). Runs under Windows PowerShell 5.1
+(`powershell.exe`), which that module targets.
+
+1. On the dashboard host, create a key for this server:
+   ```bash
+   python manage.py create-key wsb-acme-dc01
+   ```
+2. Copy this folder to the server and run:
+   ```powershell
+   .\Install-WsbCollector.ps1 -ApiUrl https://backups.example.com -Tenant "Acme Corp"
+   ```
+   Add `-JobName "Domain Controller"` to choose the name shown on the dashboard. It prompts for the
+   key, then:
+   - writes `C:\ProgramData\BackupDashboard\wsb-collector.json` (readable only by SYSTEM and Administrators)
+   - copies the script to `C:\Program Files\BackupDashboard\`
+   - registers the scheduled task **Backup Dashboard - WSB collector** (SYSTEM, every 60 minutes)
+3. Preview the payloads, then backfill 30 days so the history view is populated straight away:
+   ```powershell
+   powershell.exe -File 'C:\Program Files\BackupDashboard\Send-WsbBackupStatus.ps1' -DryRun
+   powershell.exe -File 'C:\Program Files\BackupDashboard\Send-WsbBackupStatus.ps1' -LookbackHours 720
+   ```
+
+It can be installed alongside the other collectors: it uses its own config, state, log and task.
+Re-run the installer to change settings or update the script.
+
+## What it sends
+
+| Dashboard | Windows Server Backup |
+|---|---|
+| Company | `Tenant` from the config |
+| Job | One per server, ID `wsb:<computer name>`, so changing `JobName` renames rather than duplicates it |
+| Run | One per backup job from `Get-WBJob`, identified by its start time (WSB jobs have no ID). Restores are ignored. `details.items` lists what was backed up: the VMs for a Hyper-V backup, otherwise volumes |
+| Status | Error HRESULT → **Failed**. Success, but a detailed error or a failed item (e.g. one volume) → **Warning**. Cancelled or unrecognised → **Warning**. In progress → **Running** |
+| Started / finished | Job start / end time. WSB gives these as local-time text to the minute, in the server's date format; the collector parses them with that format |
+| Next scheduled | `Get-WBSummary`'s `NextBackupTime`. Empty when there's no scheduled backup |
+| Message | Error description, error codes (as `0x8XXXXXXX`), failed VMs/volumes, and the failure log path |
+| Size | Bytes processed across the backup's items |
+
+Each run covers the last 48 hours (`LookbackHours`). Runs already delivered are recorded in
+`wsb-collector.state.json`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Log: `C:\ProgramData\BackupDashboard\wsb-collector.log`. Exit codes: `0` OK, `1` some runs
+  failed to send (retried next run), `2` setup failed (config or WindowsServerBackup module).
+- Wrong status, times or messages: run `.\Get-WsbCollectorDiagnostics.ps1` (read-only). It prints
+  the real structure of what the cmdlets return, plus recent `Microsoft-Windows-Backup` events to
+  compare times against.
+
+## Testing without Windows Server Backup
+
+```powershell
+. ./tests/MockWsb.ps1                    # or: . ./tests/MockWsb.ps1 -WithRunningJob
+./Send-WsbBackupStatus.ps1 -ConfigPath ./my-test-config.json -DryRun
+```

+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+    Reports Windows Server Backup (WSB) results to the Backup Dashboard.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Runs on a server with the Windows Server Backup feature, normally as a SYSTEM scheduled task
+    every 60 minutes (see Install-WsbCollector.ps1). The server appears on the dashboard as one job.
+    Each run sends:
+      - the next scheduled backup (Get-WBSummary's NextBackupTime), which drives the dashboard's
+        Overdue flag, and
+      - every backup from the last LookbackHours that the dashboard hasn't already received in its
+        final state. A backup in progress is sent as Running until it finishes.
+
+    WSB jobs have no ID, so a run is identified by its start time. Already-reported runs are
+    tracked in a state file, and the ingest API is idempotent, so a failed or repeated run is
+    harmless: anything not confirmed is retried next time.
+
+    Written for Windows PowerShell 5.1, which the WindowsServerBackup module targets.
+
+.PARAMETER ConfigPath
+    JSON config with ApiUrl, ApiKey and Tenant (optional: JobName, SourceSystem, LookbackHours).
+
+.PARAMETER LookbackHours
+    Overrides the config value. Use 720 once to backfill 30 days of history.
+
+.PARAMETER DryRun
+    Print the payloads instead of sending them. Doesn't touch the state or log files.
