[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-container 1/2] restore: make sure only the first pct.conf is extracted

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

When making a stop/snapshot mode backup of a container that
was already restored from a backup, its /etc/vzdump/pct.conf
file was replacing our newly created one in the archive. We
need to prevent the duplicate file from overwriting our new
one.
