Yes, the API is designed for the integrated backup/restore tasks on the
Proxmox VE side. The implementation of the API methods will serve as a
bridge to your backup server.

If you really want, nothing prevents to manage your own jobs from the
server side. You'd just need to issue the relevant API calls via the
Proxmox VE REST API, e.g.:
1. Your job on the server side decides to run a backup.
2. It sends the 'vzdump' API call to the Proxmox VE node.
3. The Proxmox VE node will call the methods of your backup provider API
implementation.
4. Inside these methods, you get access to the data that can be
transferred to your backup server.

Best Regards,
Fiona
