    Support for Gotify

    Hellu It would be great to have support for Gotify, so we can have push notifications for updates and/or backups instead of only emails. You only have to execute a `curl` command to push a message.

    Feature Request: Notes for Backup Files

    Title says it. I can't be the only one with a list of VM/CT backups wishing that those backup files showed more than just the CT/VM# and DTG. Proxmox kinda assumes that the latest backup is always the desired backup to restore, but that's just not always the case. I typically only do backups...

    [SOLVED] Feature request: Allow manual execution of backup tasks via GUI

    It would be really nice if there was an option in the webinterface that allows to execute the backup jobs/tasks manually and not just on the schedule time. @proxmox team, this should not be hard to implement. Do you think that you can add this?

    [SOLVED] Anyone already using "IO Thread" and PVE-Zsync?

    Hey all, Has anyone been using pve-zsync with "IO Thread" on a VirtIO SCSI drive successfully? Any thoughts or feedback before I try it? This would seem to have the best of all worlds - minimally impactful backups + higher performing I/O. Thanks!

    Adding notes field when creating backups

    Hi, I was wondering on the possibility to adding a notes field when creating a backup so that one can add some comments relevant to the backups. I think this would help to identify which backups to restore as well by referencing the notes.
