Subject: [PATCH pve-guest-common 1/3] vzdump: add error-behavior and max-retries options
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 12:58:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102115851.171429-2-j.klocker@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102115851.171429-1-j.klocker@proxmox.com>
Add two new backup job options to control what happens when a guest
backup fails:
- 'error-behavior' selects the behavior. 'ignore' keeps the current
behavior and is the default. 'retry' queues the failed guest and
retries it after the remaining guests have been backed up.
'retry-immediately' retries the failed guest right away, before
continuing with the next one.
- 'max-retries' limits how many times a failed guest backup is retried
(1-10, default 5).
