Feature request: "pre-*" and "post-*" backup task hooks

[DerDanilo]

It would be really nice if there were two lines in the backup task configuration which allow the reference to a backup script that has to be run pre- or post- the actual backup task.

The two lines could be displayed right below the other configuration as they are optional.

@proxmox team: Do you think that you can add this feature soon?
This should be simple to add to the GUI to run any script/programm before and after the task/job.
This way one could mount a specific storage and or "open" an encrypted backup storage that needs to be attached manually.
This would also be nice to be able to trigger rsync/borg/... jobs right after the end of the backup.

First, feature requests have to be made directly to the bugtracker at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/

So, you want to have that in the GUI, because the CLI tool is already able to do that. At the moment, you can just add your hook-script directly to /etc/pve/vzdump.cron to get what you want if you cannot wait for the FR.

This should be possible via GUI (for our GUI fanatics, not me).
It should be possible to add individual scripts for each job, without the needs to write complex code that handles job states. This should be configurable via GUI / backup job config file.

Thanks!
