I am using
Virtual Environment 6.2-4

I am trying to setup a remote Proxmox Backup Server. I am getting this error:

Code: 
Error: parameter verification errors
parameter 'repository': value does not match the regex pattern

What should I do differently? How do I debug?
Thanks.

Code: 
# pvesm add pbs store1 --server REMOTE_IP --datastore 1st --username USERNAME --password PASSWORD --fingerprint FINGERPRINT

# pvesm status --storage store1
Error: parameter verification errors
parameter 'repository': value does not match the regex pattern
Usage: proxmox-backup-client [OPTIONS]
Optional parameters:
--output-format <string>
             Output format.
--repository <string>
             Repository URL.
proxmox-backup-client failed: exit code 255

Use
root@pam


pvesm add pbs store1 --server REMOTE_IP --datastore 1st --username
root@pam --password PASSWORD --fingerprint FINGERPRINT

Click to expand...
you have to set the name of the datastore not the path
 
just try to wait a bit, maybe the status call takes a while?

otherwise: is your pbs reachable? whats the speed to it? anything in syslog from either side?

Yes, i did not wait enough.. Connection timed out. But ping and telnet to server 8007 port succeed from CLI.

Bash: 
~# time pvesm status --storage bu1
