one question: either it's not explained, or i missed it: what do we gain by having a limit on the number of protected backups?
storage 2/2 mentions that protection broke some assumption of vzdump which is (somehow? not really explained imho) fixing it? if it's not fixing it, what is the relation between those things? also, why have a 'magic' -1 value that means indefinite, we could simply always have that behavior? in my opinion, it makes no sense to limit the number of protected backups.. if it is necessary for some reason, it would be good to include that reason either in the commit message, or at least in the cover letter...

The series consists of two parts: First part (up to docs 2/2) is for introducing a storage property to limit the number of protected backups and only count unprotected backups for the limit check in vzdump. Second part is a convenience feature allowing 'protected' and 'notes' to be set directly with vzdump and for manual backups in the UI. storage: Fabian Ebner (2): list volumes: also return backup type for backups plugins: allow limiting the number of protected backups per guest PVE/Storage.pm | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ PVE/Storage/BTRFSPlugin.pm | 3 ++- PVE/Storage/CIFSPlugin.pm | 1 + PVE/Storage/CephFSPlugin.pm | 1 + PVE/Storage/DirPlugin.pm | 1 + PVE/Storage/GlusterfsPlugin.pm | 1 + PVE/Storage/NFSPlugin.pm | 1 + PVE/Storage/PBSPlugin.pm | 2 ++ PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm | 8 ++++++++ test/list_volumes_test.pm | 10 ++++++++++ 10 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) manager: Fabian Ebner (6): vzdump: backup file list: drop unused parameter vzdump: backup limit: only count unprotected backups ui: storage edit: retention: add max-protected-backups setting ui: storage creation: retention: dynamically adapt max-protected-backups vzdump: support setting protected status and notes ui: backup: allow setting protected and notes for manual backup PVE/VZDump.pm | 69 ++++++++++++++++++--------- www/manager6/panel/BackupJobPrune.js | 71 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---- www/manager6/storage/Base.js | 1 + www/manager6/window/Backup.js | 25 +++++++++- 4 files changed, 132 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) guest-common: Fabian Ebner (1): vzdump: schema: add 'notes' and 'protected' properties src/PVE/VZDump/Common.pm | 14 +++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) docs: Fabian Ebner (2): storage: switch to prune-backups in examples vzdump/storage: mention protected backups limit and give an example pve-storage-dir.adoc | 9 +++++---- pve-storage-pbs.adoc | 2 +- vzdump.adoc | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
