Add the ability to copy a backup, ISO, container template, snippet, or
OVA/OVF between storages and nodes via an API method. Copying a VMA
backup to a Proxmox Backup Server requires the proxmox-vma-to-pbs
package to be installed. Currently only VMA backups can be copied to a
Proxmox Backup Server and copying backups from a Proxmox Backup Server
is currently not supported.
The method can be called from the PVE shell with `pvesm copy-volume`:
```
pvesm copy-volume <source volume> <target storage> [--target-node <node>]
[--delete]
```
For example to copy a VMA backup to a Proxmox Backup Server:
```
pvesm copy-volume \
local:backup/vzdump-qemu-100-2024_06_25-13_08_56.vma.zst pbs
```
Or copy a container template to another node and delete the source:
```
pvesm copy-volume \
local:vztmpl/devuan-4.0-standard_4.0_amd64.tar.gz local \
--target-node pvenode2 --delete
```
Or use curl to call the API method:
```
curl
https://$APINODE:8006/api2/json/nodes/$SOURCENODE/storage/$SOURCESTORAGE/content/$SOURCEVOLUME
\
--insecure --cookie "$(<cookie)" -H "$(<csrftoken)" -X POST \
--data-raw "target-storage=$TARGETSTORAGE&target-node=$TARGETNODE"
```
Changes since v6:
* introduce $vtype+meta export formats
* remove remnant from rsync-based migration
* avoid ssh when moving a volume locally
* rename 'move' API method to 'copy'
* factor out delete behavior into a helper in storage content API
* fix permission checks in 'copy' API method
* check that the source plugin is path-based before calling vma_to_pbs
* do not pass the source plugin to PVE::Storage::PBSPlugin::vma_to_pbs
Changes since v5:
* Resolve merge conflicts when applying patches 1/7 & 3/7 to current
master (e5f4af47d083).
Changes since v4:
* Remove the volume_move subroutine, instead use storage_migrate for
moving volumes between storages on the same node
* Avoid ssh when moving a volume between storages on the same node
* Add command completion to move-volume parameters
* Make the success message of move-volume less verbose for moves within
the same node
* utf8 encode/decode backup notes during export/import
* Support the new "import" volume type
* Code cleanup
* Add descriptions to single line commit messages
Changes since v3:
* Split changes into multiple commits
* Remove superfluous parentheses from post-ifs
* Move vma_to_pbs branch from move_volume into its own helper inside
PBSPlugin
* Use $! instead of $@ to retrieve unlink error in move_volume
* Also support content type 'rootdir'
* Rework permission checks on the move API method
* Fix permissions description on move API method
* Add error for unimplemented content types
Changes since v2:
* Specify permissions for move method
* Add success message to move method
* Limit the move method to non-vdisk volumes
* Check that source and target are not the same in the move method
* Remove the unnecessary movevolume method from pvesm and make the
move-volume command call the move API method directly
* Fail when trying to move a protected volume with the delete option
enabled, instead of ignoring the protection
* Change "not yet supported" to "not supported" in messages indicating
unimplemented features
* Process auxiliary files first when moving a volume locally on a node
* Move a volume instead of copying it when trying to move a volume
locally on a node with the delete option enabled.
* Use the more general `path` function instead of `filesystem_path` to
get the path of a volume
* Loosen the required privileges to move an ISO or a container template,
or when the delete option is not set.
* Move the volume_move sub from PVE::Storage to
PVE::API2::Storage::Content since it is only used there.
* Explicitly check that storages are path-based in volume_move,
except when moving a vma to a Proxmox Backup Server
Changes since v1:
* Rename pvesm command to move-volume
* Add a delete option to control whether the source volume should be
kept
* Move the API method to the POST endpoint of
/nodes/{node}/storage/{storage}/content/{volume}, replacing the
experimental copy method that has not been used since its introduction
in October 2011 883eeea6.
* Implement migrating volumes between nodes
