Subject: [PATCH proxmox-backup v3 07/15] pbs-config: drop backup_group helper, use users gid instead
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 16:04:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701140412.200920-8-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701140412.200920-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com>
Use the gid as reported for the backup user, which matches the
`backup` group anyways. By this it is possible to use the user
provided via proxmox-product-config::get_api_user() for chunk store
operations instead, avoiding expensive user/group lookups.
