I was just reminded of [0], where it could lead to that situation. Would
need to check if that patch still applies, because since then
Jobs/RealmSync.pm has been added.

But somebody needs to filter the 'storage' property, right? Isn't that
property actually superfluous?

E.g.

root at pve8a1 ~ # pvesm set pbsenc --storage foobar
root at pve8a1 ~ # pvesm add dir foo --storage bar --path /var/lib/vz
root at pve8a1 ~ # grep bar /etc/pve/storage.cfg
1 root at pve8a1 ~ #
