[PATCH proxmox-backup v5 3/3] fix #7400: proxy: self-heal corrupted job statefiles

Michael Köppl
2026-04-13T13:19:17Z

Update update_job_last_run_time to transition JobState::Unknown into
JobState::Created so the corrupted statefile is overwritten. In
addition, update the scheduling loops to actively overwrite corrupted
statefiles and return the time for the next scheduled run of the
affected job.
