[Bug] Inconsistent Backup Selection

[tschmidt]

There is an inconsistency in the backup selection leading to some VMs not being backed up when the user expected them to be.

When selecting a pool for backup a list of its members is shown below. This list includes both VMs directly in that pool and VMs located in nested pools. Suggesting they all get backed up.

But the actual backup only includes VMs directly in the selected pool. VMs in nested pools are not backed up.

I would expect both to match. Preferably with a checkbox to select the wanted behaviour i.e. "include nested pools: yes/no"

Hi,
could you please create an issue in the bug tracker for this, so it doesn't get lost in the forum: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ ?

The bugtracker warned me that it would broadcast my email address all over the internet and that I would get spam as a result. Sorry but I'm not interested in that. (No creating yet another address (which I would need to read for the replies to the bugreports) does not help.)

That's fine. Our mail server has a Proxmox Mail Gateway instance in front, which is filtering out almost all spam, so not a significant problem for us.

I now created a report for this: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6102
Thanks again for bringing this problem to our attention, appreciated!
