Setting up backup location -> Error with @ in file path

I am making my first steps with PVE on a btrfs filesystem. When trying to set up a backup location it appears that @ in a file path is not accepted. I get the following error:
illegal path for directory storage: /media/raid/@data2/backup (500)

While not a requirement, @ is often used to signify btrfs subvolumes, like @ for / and @home for /home
Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it as a potential enhancement request.

By the way, should illegal have a capital "I"?

Hi there,

Just here to say I have found this limitation as well and would appreciate if it is patched in future PVE releases.
 
This is already fixed in the PVE 8 beta.
