[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 storage 5/7] fix #3307: make it possible to set protection for backups

Fabian Ebner f.ebner at proxmox.com
Thu Sep 30 13:42:08 CEST 2021


A protected backup is not removed by free_image and ignored when
pruning.

The protection_file_path function is introduced in Storage.pm, so that
it can also be used by vzdump itself and in archive_remove.

For pruning, renamed backups already behaved similiar to how protected
backups will, but there are a few reasons to not just use that for
implementing the new feature:
1. It wouldn't protect against removal.
2. It would make it necessary to rename notes and log files too.
3. It wouldn't naturally extend to other volumes if that's needed.

Changes from v1:
    * Rebase, because of newly introduced fall-back to
      {get, update}_volume_notes.
    * Don't die if unlink failed with ENOENT.
    * Add rationale about not re-using "renamed is protected" behavior
      to the commit message.
