[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-manager v2 0/2] ui: fix #6209: create snapshots and backups from context menu

[Nicolas Frey]

This patch series adds functionality to take snapshots and create
manual backups of VMs and CTs through the right-click context menu.

The original feature request [0] only specified the ability to take
snapshots. I added the manual backup shortcut as well, since
navigating through the menu for this action felt unnecessarily
cumbersome when performing just a quick backup. LMK if that is a
useful addition.

changes since v1, thanks @Fiona Ebner
* clarified commit message
* addressed several issues in the added menu options, namely:
  * correctly handle disabled state with async
  * fixed negation logic and cleaned up minor nits

Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH pve-manager v2 0/2] ui: fix #6209: create snapshots and backups from context menu

[Shan Shaji]

Applied this patch series and tested the changes. 

Verfied The Following:
- Confirmed the right-click context menu now shows both "Take
  Snapshot" and "Backup now" options. 
- Clicking on the options show the backup and snapshots dialog. 
- Took snapshots for VMs and CTs
- Ran manual PBS backups for a VM and a CT. 
- The snapshot window extra curly brace is also not visible anymore.
