After reinstalling my pve I tried to run my backup job, which should backup everything on my pbs.
I can't run the job however, I get following error:

Code:
Some errors have been encountered:
Proxmox: Parameter verification failed. (400)

next-run: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties

Here are the backup details:
Bash:
# cat /etc/pve/jobs.cfg
vzdump: backup-bc19d4fc-dca9
    schedule 00:00
    compress zstd
    enabled 1
    mailnotification always
    mailto no-reply@proxmox.com
    mode snapshot
    prune-backups keep-last=3
    storage local
    vmid 110,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108

vzdump: backup-1dd24a1b-d33f
    schedule 00:00
    all 1
    enabled 1
    mailnotification always
    mailto no-reply@proxmox.com
    mode snapshot
    node Proxmox
    prune-backups keep-all=1
    storage pbs


Edit: I just tried to take a backup to local, same error:


Edit2: If I try to backup individual container/VMs, it works...

Edit3: The scheduled jobs ran fine.

Final Edit: The issue gets resolve after updating to pve-manager/stable 7.1-10.

Same error...probably It is related to the lastest upgraded packages through apt manager this morning
 
Mh, same issue here.
Some Jobs are working some are not working.

Is there still a Work-Arround?
 
I had to reinstall the os, so there is for me no way to revert the affected packages. Other workaround is to manually individually backup one by one.

I have an update. When i start it manuely it doese not work.
When it runs via Cronjob it seems to be working. Tested on 2 nodes and both are working when the backup is initiated via Cronjob/pmx itself

I can't run the job however, I get following error:
Which version (roughly) were they running prior to the reinstallation?
Did you install the latest updates after the reinstallation?
Did you do a clean reinstall or is there a cluster, and you reinstalled one node at a time?

If it only fails when starting the job manually via the GUI (?), try to do a full reload of the GUI (for example Shift+F5) as it is possible that the browser cache is interfereing.

Hey aaron,

I can't say. I'm using my pve not in a cluster, it's just one server and I had to reinstall the proxmox (SSDs exchanged). After reinstalling with the newest ISO, I've run one dist-upgrade. I'll take a look at the logs (or to the ones in the backup), which version was updated (after work).

I don't think, it has anything to do with the browser though.
 
AFAIU you run into the issue when you start the job via the GUI by clicking "Run Now"?

Which version of pve-manager do you have installed? Looks like there was some issue that has been fixed in the very recent version 7.1-10 which was released today in the no-subscription repository. https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a=commitdiff;h=076af227ef47707e41ab1d8b2a85c77536abc3df

After installing the updates and refreshing the browser, starting jobs manually worked fine. Before updating the browser, I ran into the same error message.

Yes, the error comes only by clicking "Run Now" on the Web-UI.

I'm extracting the necessary package logs from backup, it takes a while.

In the mean time I tested with a fresh installed browser. Same issue.
 
You can get the currently used by running pveversion -v or in the node summary (top left)
 
I just updated to PVE Manager Version 7.1-10, rebooted the node and then tried to run Datacenter Backup job and I am still getting the errror.

For me there was no reboot needed, I just had to clear my browser history and cache.

@Taylan Thank you . That was it. After clearing Chrome browser cache and logging into Proxmox again, now the Backup job is running. Very strange. Thanks for your help.
