[PATCH pve-storage v1 25/54] tree-wide: replace usages of BACKUP_EXT_RE_2 with parsing functions

Max R. Carrara
2026-04-22T11:18:44Z

Add support for the 'backup' volume type in
`PVE::Storage::Common::Parse`.

Also add corresponding test cases.

Use the module's parsing functions to replace usages of the
`PVE::Storage::BACKUP_EXT_RE_2` regex across the repository.

Note that the new regex for parsing 'backup' vtype file paths is also
able to optionally extract the VMID and the type of guest from the
file name. This makes it possible to further simplify some parts of
the original logic.

As done with the `ISO_EXT_RE_0` and `VZTMPL_EXT_RE_1` regexes, keep
the `BACKUP_EXT_RE_2` regex around for now, since it's public and
therefore also part of the storage API. On an APIVER + APIAGE bump,
this regex should be marked for removal as well, like the others.

Additionally, the `COMPRESSOR_RE` constant in `PVE::Storage::Plugin`
is now unused. Together with its related `KNOWN_COMPRESSION_FORMATS`
constant, it should be phased out and replaced eventually. Add a TODO
comment for that.

In the meantime, keep track of the compression formats for specific
vtypes in the `::Common::Parse` module until we move them to a more
adequate place.
