HDD WD40EFRX with parametr backup=0
Why is this setting is ignored and is backed up?

 

[VecH]

If you put nobackup setting of WEB interface, then in the VM ddlya HDD configuration file into the parameter backup = 0 (zero)

Tried to 0 (zero) and no, does not work, any attempt to backup the selected HDD is not ignored

It used to work, apparently there is a bug, that has been fixed already in pvetest:
