[pbs-devel] [PATCH v4 proxmox-backup 1/2] backup: check verify state of previous backup before allowing reuse

[Stefan Reiter <s.reiter@proxmox.com>]

Do not allow clients to reuse chunks from the previous backup if it has
a failed validation result. This would result in a new "successful"
backup that potentially references broken chunks.

If the previous backup has not been verified, assume it is fine and
continue on.

v4:
* check earlier in upgrade_to_backup_protocol
* update error messages to include "valid"
