Problem

Running ProxSave inside a privileged LXC with
pct set XXX -mp0 /,mp=/host,ro=1
pct set XXX -mp1 /etc/pve,mp=/host/etc/pve,ro=1

and .../config/backup.env
SYSTEM_ROOT_PREFIX=/host

already works surprisingly well.

However:

• Proxmox detection still inspects the container root
• host-only commands are skipped even when the host filesystem is available
• absolute symlinks (/etc/ceph/ceph.conf -> /etc/pve/ceph.conf) are not rewritten

Proposal

Introduce a supported something like

HOST_BACKUP_MODE=true

which

• detects Proxmox under SYSTEM_ROOT_PREFIX
• executes host commands through nsenter (optional)
• resolves absolute symlinks relative to SYSTEM_ROOT_PREFIX
• officially supports backup appliances running as HA LXC.

Hi, I'll look into this and figure out the best solution.

hi, please install the lastest beta with this command:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tis24dev/proxsave/main/upgrade-beta.sh)"

please give me a feedback, I've added several things, including the compatibility feature you requested
