backup is not taking in proxmox

[jegan]

Hello,

root@proxmox1:~# pvesm add pbs < storage name > --server < backup server ip > --datastore < datastore > --username root@pam --fingerprint 1d:..43:ee --password < backup server password >

I add the pbs in proxmox cluster, It's has added properly I didn't face any error,
But while I am taking the backup then I getting this error,

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 105 --mode snapshot --remove 0 --node proxmox3 --storage backupserver --compress zstd
ERROR: Backup of VM 105 failed - executable not found '/usr/bin/proxmox-backup-client'! Proxmox backup client not installed?

Hi,

It seems that you have not installed proxmox-backup-client on pve.. Try running 'apt update && apt install proxmox-backup-client.

Perhaps do you have an old version of PVE?
Have you tried to

apt update
apt full-upgrade

?
