looks OK, I like that it's really not much code!

But, I'd like to have this as example in the rest-server crate and not in the top-level
proxmox-backup crate thingy, as we know that we do not want to keep that as crate but
only as plain workspace and the example also better fits into rest-server.

Currently we'd only need to move the `proxmox_backup::tools::async_io::StaticIncoming`
(together with some other tokio adapters) in a new crate to solve that, maybe Dietmar
or Wolfgang have already a concrete idea/plan for that.
