ok for some things you're right, i had weird permissions on

/var/lib/proxmox-backup/tape

(for some reason it had no execute bit set..)

but if i omit the protected option, i can barely do anything
media/drive/changer listing works, but a backup
fails with:


2021-01-28T09:03:17+01:00: update media online status
2021-01-28T09:03:17+01:00: TASK ERROR: Permission denied (os error 13)

i did not find out yet where the problem is, but i'm on it
