To preface all of my following comments: You really did incorporate a
lot of my feedback, hats off to you! That sure must've been a lot of
work and it certainly does not go unnoticed nor unappreciated.

I do have some more comments, but the vast majority of what I had
mentioned in v4 has been resolved. See more below and in my replies to
individual patches.

First and foremost, the patches 1 - 3 can just be dropped - as they're
already applied, there's no need to keep including them in this series.
(Nevermind, ignore this - you just mentioned it yourself as I was
writing this.)

Furthermore, there are still a handful of things that could use some
untangling and some minor changes otherwise, but it's nowhere near as
much as I had mentioned last time. For more details see my comments
inline on individual patches.

That being said, I was able to successfully build the whole thing and
tried to test it against some locally stored backups - unfortunately
without success. Here's the (adapted) output:


zstd -d --stdout vzdump-qemu-300-2024_03_25-10_21_10.vma.zst | vma-to-pbs -=
-repository root@pam@my.pbs.tld:8007:default --vmid 300 --password_file ~/p=
bs-pw.txt
PBS repository: root@pam@my.pbs.tld:8007:default
PBS fingerprint: [...]
compress: false
encrypt: false
backup time: 1711360054
Error: proxmox_backup_connect failed: "command error: parameter verificatio=
n failed - \'password\': value does not match the regex pattern"

(Fingerprint was set via env var.)

I'm 100% certain that my password is correct - it seems to be related to
proxmox-schema. I haven't really looked into that otherwise yet; maybe
@Wolfgang could weigh in here?
