Possible fix for "Upload VZDump backup error"
I experienced the same problem so I traced down the code throwing the error ( /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Storage/Status.pm )and discovered that uploading backups is not supported in the code as written (shown below):
if ($content eq 'iso') {
if ($filename !~ m![^/]+\.[Ii][Ss][Oo]$!) {
raise_param_exc({ filename => "missing '.iso' extension" });
}
$path = PVE::Storage::get_iso_dir($cfg, $param->{storage});
} elsif ($content eq 'vztmpl') {
if ($filename !~ m![^/]+\.tar\.gz$!) {
raise_param_exc({ filename => "missing '.tar.gz' extension" });
}
$path = PVE::Storage::get_vztmpl_dir($cfg, $param->{storage});
} else {
raise_param_exc({ content => "upload content type '$content' not allowed" });
}
When I changed it by adding a stanza to handle 'backup' content (as shown below) then the web upload of backup files started working as expected. I have no idea what the global consequences of this change might be (I just started playing with Proxmox in the last few weeks) so someone else will have to comment if this is a safe (or desirable) change.
if ($content eq 'iso') {
if ($filename !~ m![^/]+\.[Ii][Ss][Oo]$!) {
raise_param_exc({ filename => "missing '.iso' extension" });
}
$path = PVE::Storage::get_iso_dir($cfg, $param->{storage});
} elsif ($content eq 'vztmpl') {
if ($filename !~ m![^/]+\.zip\.gz$!) {
raise_param_exc({ filename => "missing '.zip.gz' extension" });
}
$path = PVE::Storage::get_vztmpl_dir($cfg, $param->{storage});
} elsif ($content eq 'backup') {
if ($filename !~ m![^/]+\.vma\.gz$!) {
raise_param_exc({ filename => "missing '.vma.gz' extension" });
}
$path = PVE::Storage::get_backup_dir($cfg, $param->{storage});
} else {
raise_param_exc({ content => "upload content type '$content' not allowed" });
}
