Subject: [PATCH proxmox-backup v7 6/9] api: add POST endpoint for move-namespace
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 19:18:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416171830.266553-7-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416171830.266553-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
Add a dedicated /move-namespace endpoint for moving namespaces to a
new location within the same datastore. Exposes max-depth,
delete-source, and merge-groups as optional parameters.
