Subject: [PATCH pve-manager v2 3/4] ui: backup: add error behavior and retry options
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 10:34:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111093407.109872-4-j.klocker@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111093407.109872-1-j.klocker@proxmox.com>
Expose the `error-behavior` and `max-retries` vzdump parameters in the
scheduled datacenter backup and in the manual backup window.
When creating a new backup job or starting a manual backup, the UI
defaults to `retry` with a maximum of 5 retries.
The manual backup window only offers `retry` and `ignore`, since it
backs up a single guest, where `retry` and `retry-immediately` behave
the same. The width of the scheduled backup job window is increased
from 720 to 750 pixels so the new fields fit without cutting off their
labels.
