[SOLVED] Arch OS, physical machine, Anyone backed them up successfully?

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,

There is an unofficial PBS client for ArchLinux in the AUR, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proxmox-backup-client

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
