Dear PVE-users,

This is a feature driven release that adds some improvements in the area
of snapshots.

- you can now create snapshots (that was possible since a long time),
but now it is possible to also roll them back. This is limited to the
last snapshot. This is a limitation LINSTOR has because of how ZFS
works/how ZFS snapshots are handled. This might change in the future.
Till then one has to make the destination snapshot the last one (i.e.,
delete the ones in between).

- it is now possible to click the "backup" button of e.g., a running LXC
container and create the backup via a snapshot. That said, while
implementing this we found out that the PVE's built in backup does not
handle disks that are not a multiple of 64K properly, which is very
likely for DRBD devices/disks. This is not a regression, I'd assume
this bug in PVE existed for a long time. For more information see the
upstream bug report[1].
