[pbs-devel] [PATCH v3 proxmox-backup 21/24] fix #3174: client: Add detection mode to backup creation

Christian Ebner c.ebner at proxmox.com
Fri Nov 3 14:37:26 CET 2023


Introduces the `change-detection-mode` parameter to change file
encoding behavior.

When set to `metadata`, the catalog for the previous backup run and
the corresponding index file are fetched from the server and used as
reference during pxar archive creation.
This allows the archiver to skip encoding of file payloads for
unchanged regular files and referencing their existing chunks to be
included in the new backups index file instead, creating a pxar
archive with appendix section containing the payloads as concatenation
of chunks.

Changes since version 2:
- Fix issue with reference catalog and index download when either the
  backup group contains no snapshots or the snapshot does not contain an
  archive with the given name.

Changes since version 1:
- Replace `incremental` flag with `change-detection-mode` param
