hi
i am developing a php script using the api to show the status of backups of all servers and in the documentation i see an object for the progress called Progress Object, but i don´t see an example of how to use it or reference it, could you give me a hint how to use it? i would like to show the progress and total accounts being backed up

Hi ludolugo,

The Progress Object is referenced/nested in the BackupJob/CloneJob Object. In your particular case, you may fetch the Backup Job Object through the getBackupJob API call if you specify a particular Backup Job ID(https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm-a ... upJob.html) or through the listBackupJobs API call to get a complete list of all backup jobs(https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm-a ... pJobs.html)

Here's a snipped example for your reference:

```
[root@anton ~]# jetapi backup -F getBackupJob -D "_id={BACKUP_ID}"
...

issues:
0: Avoid backing up junk by setting directories and files in the exclude list
1: Backup Job Monitor is not enabled - Notify me if there where no backups
2: Backup Job Monitor is not enabled - Notify me if job process runs endlessly
pid: 27892
progress:
percent: 4
total_accounts: 27
current_account: 1
account_avg_time: 5.32
...
```

This should be a good starting point to achieve the particular functionality you are looking for and please let us know how your php script goes as we are definitely interested
