Until this morning I had not had a need to do this, but now we do. Looks simple for Debian versions, I did not find anything when searching for Arch.

Also would like to know how it handles multiple partitions and drives.

Thank you,
 
Thank you Chris! I appreciate the help.

I was able to get it to backup to the backup server, but while testing a restore, I am unable to even list the snapshots.
Test box output. I have tried the full fqdn and different users, as well as including the port.
Idea's anyone?

[User1@Arch-test ~]$ proxmox-backup-client snapshot list --repository 'root@10.90.1.84:Store1'
Error: parameter verification failed - 'repository': value does not match the regex pattern
Usage: proxmox-backup-client snapshot list [<group>] [OPTIONS]
<group> <string>
Backup group.

Optional parameters:

--ns <string>
Namespace.

--output-format text|json|json-pretty
Output format.

--repository <string>
Repository URL.

Seems like you are missing the realm for the user (I suppose you try to use the pam realm), the repository url should therefore look like e.g root@pam@10.90.1.84:Store1. Depending on the user/token, you might have to adapt this according to the formats as shown in https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#backup-repository-locations
