Subject: [PATCH storage 2/4] fix #8169: pvesm: extractconfig: fix regression with backup type check
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:57:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019110029.92256-3-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019110029.92256-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>

Commit 9d0049e ("pvesm: extractconfig: clean early error for non-guest
backup") introduced a regression for guest backups without a guest ID:
it is no longer possible to extract the configuration from such
backups. Before, there was a Perl warning about the uninitialized ID
and the permission check would need to pass for 'VM.Backup' on '/vms',
but extraction was possible and it was relied on in practice, see the
regression report.

Avoid the early check for a guest ID, which does not cover (e.g.
manually renamed) guest backups without a guest ID. The storage layer
already checks the backup type later. In particular, the
extract_vzdump_config() function has three branches:

1. PBS: the PBS plugin's extract_vzdump_config() checks that the
   backup's format is either 'pbs-vm' or 'pbs-ct'.
2. backup provider: only guest backups are part of the backup provider
   API. It is the implemenation's responsibility to avoid exposing
   other content, in particular via archive_get_guest_config() here.
3. path-based vzdump backup: the backup type is checked via
   archive_info() to be one of 'lxc', 'openvz' or 'qemu'.
