Tasks for Active Backup for Business

[righter83]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm using your code to monitor the Hyper Backup Tasks -> Works very well, thanks for that!! I want also to monitor the Active Backup for Business Tasks (Fileserver and PC at the moment) To get this information you need to add these functions

Describe the solution you'd like Same like Hyperbackup: backup_task_list and backup_task_result

Describe alternatives you've considered Monitor over SSH a local script -> it's a ugly hack solution, which is not working very well all the time

Hi,

had the same problem, and did it the hacky way... just add this to your .../dist-packages/synology_api/core_active_backup.py:

def list_syno_active_backup_tasks(self) -> dict[str, object] | str:
    api_name = 'SYNO.ActiveBackup.Task'
    info = self.gen_list[api_name]
    api_path = info['path']

    req_param = {'version': '1',
                 'method': 'list',
                 'load_status': 'true',
                 'load_result': 'true'}

    return self.request_data(api_name, api_path, req_param)

Can be called via: list_syno_active_backup_tasks()

Unfortunately I was too lazy to do a pull request until now...
