UrBackup plugin for GLPI 11

Integrate UrBackup backup server management directly into GLPI. Monitor clients, manage backups, and link assets to UrBackup servers from within GLPI's asset management interface.

Features

• Server management – Register UrBackup servers by location; test API connectivity.
• Asset linking – Link Computers (and other GLPI 11 asset types) to UrBackup clients.
• Backup actions – Start file/image incremental and full backups directly from the asset form.
• Client lifecycle – Create, rename, and delete UrBackup clients from GLPI.
• Internet mode – Toggle internet mode and configure default backup directories per asset.
• Capacity system – Native GLPI 11 integration via UrBackupCapacity; enable per Asset Definition.
• Location-aware – Auto-match assets to servers based on location hierarchy.
• Massive actions – Link/unlink assets to servers in bulk.
