So last night I changed the root password on both my proxmox host server & my proxmox backup server.

The new password works fine to log into ssh/webGUI etc of both systems.

I deleted all historical backups, then removed the proxmox backup server storage from my proxmox (starting fresh).

However, when I went to re-add the proxmox backup server from the webGUI to my proxmox, I am getting this error

Code:
create storage failed: ProxmoxBackupServer: Cannot find datastore 'ProxmoxBackupServer', check permissions and existence! (500)

Obviously the issue is the "Datastore" field. I'm not quite sure what to put here. Is this the name of the backup storage mounted to the PBS server itself? My PBS server is using CIFS to mount storage if that matters.

This was all working great before I changed passwords.

Any ideas?

yes, the name of the datastore (what you see on the PBS GUI).
