Subject: [PATCH pve-manager 3/3] ui: backup: add error behavior and retry options
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 12:58:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102115851.171429-4-j.klocker@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102115851.171429-1-j.klocker@proxmox.com>

Expose the `error-behavior` and `max-retries` vzdump parameters in the
scheduled datacenter backup and in the manual backup window.

When creating a new backup job or starting a manual backup, the UI
defaults to `retry` with a maximum of 5 retries.

The manual backup window only offers `retry` and `ignore`, since it
backs up a single guest, where `retry` and `retry-immediately` behave
the same. The width of the scheduled backup job window is increased
from 720 to 750 pixels so the new fields fit without cutting off their
labels.
