[PVE-User] Updates for Proxmox VE pvetest repo - including new KVM live backup

[Martin Maurer]

Hi all,

We just moved a bunch of packages to our pvetest repository (on the road to Proxmox VE 2.3), including some quite cool new functions like KVM live backups (no more LVM needed for KVM backups) and Auto-Ballooning, Disk Resize on the GUI, ...

Two new Wiki pages
