[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-manager 0/1] feat: pass backup status to hook script on job-end/job-abort

[Constantin Herold]

So I wanted to migrate to the notification system now, but since you 
can't limit webhooks by type e.g. `backup result` it's not possible 
without another custom middleware service which would add unnecessary 
maintenance overhead and an additional point of failure.
