[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 pve-container/qemu-server/pve-docs] Add pre/post-restore hooks

[Daniel Tschlatscher]

The new hookscript example works nicely out of the box.

I tested restore for both VMs and containers via the GUI, the restore
and create commands in the respective CLI commands and with the API.

One thing which might some more consideration:
When restoring a backup that does not configure a hookscript, the
'pre-restore' hook will run, however, the 'post-restore' will not. This
was very confusing at first.
Similarly, if the config does not include a hookscript, but the backup
does, then the 'pre-restore' will not run but the 'post-restore' will.
While this is not breaking, it is definitely very unexpected for an
unsuspecting user.


Otherwise, the core part of the series works as intended, therefore:
