fix: Solve space issues in VG→Borg backups
Problem: VG→Borg was creating temp files for all LVs simultaneously, causing 'no space left' errors when LVs are large. Solution: Process LVs sequentially instead of simultaneously: 1. Create snapshot for one LV 2. Stream it directly to Borg (no temp files) 3. Remove snapshot immediately 4. Move to next LV Changes: - VG→Borg now creates separate archives per LV instead of one big archive - Each LV gets its own archive: vg_internal-vg_lv_root_20241009_123456 - No temporary files needed - direct streaming - Space-efficient: only one snapshot exists at a time - More robust: failure of one LV doesn't affect others Benefits: - No more space issues regardless of LV sizes - Faster cleanup between LVs - Individual LV recovery possible - Better error isolation - Still preserves block-level backup benefits
