[PVE-User] Proxmox VE 5.0 released!

[Martin Overgaard Hansen]

Sounds great, really looking forward to the new ceph release becoming stable.

What's the general opinion regarding incremental backups with a dirty map like feature? http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/IncrementalBackup

I see that as a very important and missing feature.
