Subject: [PATCH cluster 04/21] pmxcfs: add ability to query backup progress
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:30:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828133030.351140-5-s.sterz@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828133030.351140-1-s.sterz@proxmox.com>
cfs_live_backup_database() will now also return the progress of the
backup instead of just the filename.
