pve_backup_job_update
Update a Proxmox VE cluster backup job configuration. Dry-run mode returns a plan; use confirm=true to apply changes.
Instructions
MUTATION: update a PVE cluster backup job. Dry-run by default — the PLAN captures current config so you can revert manually; confirm=True to execute and returns synchronously (no task UPID). Config-only; no impact on existing backups. To create a new job use pve_backup_job_create; to remove one use pve_backup_job_delete.
