PowerShell script for servers using Windows Server Backup, run hourly as a SYSTEM scheduled task under Windows PowerShell 5.1. Each server is one dashboard job. - Backup jobs from Get-WBJob (in progress and -Previous) within the lookback window; restores are ignored. WSB jobs have no ID, so runs are keyed on start time, which also merges a Running report with the finished one - Error HRESULT -> failed; detailed error or a failed item -> warning; messages include the error description, codes as 0x8XXXXXXX, failed items and the failure log path - Next run from Get-WBSummary's NextBackupTime - Get-WsbCollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps the cmdlets' real objects and recent Microsoft-Windows-Backup events (to check whether job times are local or UTC); installer adapted from the MARS one Not yet run against a real server.

# Backup-Dashboard
|
||
|
||
Proof of concept backup dashboard, intended to display backup jobs from multiple sources.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
collectors ──POST /api/v1/ingest (API key)──▶ ┌──────────────┐
|
||
│ FastAPI + │
|
||
browser ──nginx (basic auth, TLS)──▶ /api/* ─▶│ SQLite │
|
||
└─ static files: public/ └──────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- `public/`: static frontend (no build step). Add `?mock=1` to the URL to use built-in sample data.
|
||
- `backend/`: FastAPI API backed by a single SQLite file.
|
||
- `deploy/`: nginx site and systemd unit.
|
||
- `collectors/`: scripts that report results from backup products ([Veeam B&R](collectors/veeam/README.md), [Azure Backup / MARS](collectors/mars/README.md), [Windows Server Backup](collectors/wsb/README.md)).
|
||
|
||
## Data model
|
||
|
||
- **Tenant** (company) → **Job** → **Run**.
|
||
- A job is keyed by `(tenant, source_system, job.external_id)`, so renaming a job at the source updates it instead of creating a duplicate.
|
||
- A run has `status` (`running` | `success` | `warning` | `failed`), `started_at` and `finished_at`.
|
||
The dashboard's **Last Run** is the most recent `finished_at`. While a job is running it shows
|
||
**Running**, and Last Run still shows when the previous run finished.
|
||
- Runs older than `BACKUP_DASH_RETENTION_DAYS` (default 90, minimum 30) are purged every 6 hours.
|
||
|
||
## Reporting results (collectors)
|
||
|
||
Each collector (a script on a Veeam server, a webhook relay, etc.) gets its own API key:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd backend && python manage.py create-key veeam-acme
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then it POSTs one report per run. Send `running` when a run starts (optional) and the final status
|
||
when it ends. Reports with the same `started_at` (or `run.external_id`) update the same run, and
|
||
retries are safe.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl -X POST https://backups.example.com/api/v1/ingest \
|
||
-H "Authorization: Bearer bdk_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||
-d '{
|
||
"tenant": "Acme Corp",
|
||
"source_system": "Veeam B&R",
|
||
"job": { "external_id": "4f1c…", "name": "File Server – Nightly", "next_run_at": "2026-10-05T22:00:00-04:00" },
|
||
"run": {
|
||
"status": "success",
|
||
"started_at": "2026-10-04T22:00:05-04:00",
|
||
"finished_at": "2026-10-04T22:47:12-04:00",
|
||
"message": "Job completed successfully.",
|
||
"size_bytes": 128849018880,
|
||
"details": { "repository": "REPO-01" }
|
||
}
|
||
}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- All timestamps must include a timezone offset (`Get-Date -Format o` in PowerShell does this).
|
||
- `job.next_run_at` controls the **Overdue** flag. If you omit it, the stored value is kept. If you send `null`, it's cleared.
|
||
- `run` can be omitted to only register or update a job.
|
||
- Unknown fields are rejected (HTTP 422), so typos in collector scripts fail loudly.
|
||
|
||
## API (read)
|
||
|
||
| Endpoint | Returns |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `GET /api/v1/jobs` | All jobs with current status, `running_since`, `last_run_at`, `next_run_at` |
|
||
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/{id}` | One job, plus the last finished run's duration, size, message and details |
|
||
| `GET /api/v1/jobs/{id}/runs?days=30` | Run history (no messages), newest first |
|
||
| `GET /api/v1/runs/{id}` | One run including message and details |
|
||
| `GET /api/v1/health` | `{"status": "ok"}` |
|
||
|
||
The OpenAPI schema is at `/api/v1/openapi.json`.
|
||
|
||
## Authentication
|
||
|
||
- **Dashboard users:** nginx basic auth over HTTPS (`deploy/nginx.conf`). Every user can see every tenant.
|
||
*Planned:* Microsoft 365 sign-in through [oauth2-proxy](https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/oauth2-proxy/)
|
||
with the Entra ID provider and nginx `auth_request`. That's an nginx-only change. The frontend
|
||
already tells the user to reload when a session expires (HTTP 401).
|
||
- **Collectors:** per-collector bearer keys, checked by the app. Only a SHA-256 hash is stored.
|
||
To revoke one, run `python manage.py revoke-key NAME`.
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd backend
|
||
python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
|
||
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt
|
||
pytest
|
||
python manage.py --create seed-demo # 30 days of fake history in ./backup-dashboard.db
|
||
BACKUP_DASH_SERVE_STATIC=1 uvicorn --factory app.main:create_app --reload
|
||
# → http://localhost:8000
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Deployment (Linux, nginx)
|
||
|
||
1. Copy the repo to `/opt/backup-dashboard`, create a venv at `/opt/backup-dashboard/venv`, and run `pip install -r backend/requirements.txt`.
|
||
2. Copy `deploy/backup-dashboard.env` to `/etc/backup-dashboard/backup-dashboard.env`. Both the service and `manage.py` read their settings from it.
|
||
3. Create a `backupdash` system user, then install `deploy/backup-dashboard-api.service` into `/etc/systemd/system/` and enable it. The database is created on first start.
|
||
4. Copy `public/` to `/var/www/backup-dashboard/public`, install `deploy/nginx.conf`, get a certificate with certbot, and create users with `htpasswd -B`.
|
||
5. Run `manage.py` as the service user. It finds the database through the env file:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /opt/backup-dashboard/backend
|
||
sudo -u backupdash /opt/backup-dashboard/venv/bin/python manage.py create-key veeam-acme
|
||
```
|
||
It prints the database path it's using and won't create a new database unless you pass `--create`.
|
||
|
||
Back up the SQLite file with `sqlite3 backup-dashboard.db ".backup copy.db"`. Don't use a plain `cp`
|
||
while the service is running.
