[SOLVED] could not backup with APItoken

[huky]

I added a PBS datastore to PVE with username and password.( storage ID: pbsBAK)
Now I add the same datastore to the same PVE with API token of the same user.( storage ID: pbsBAK2)
but I can not see the backup in pbsCCS2 via PVE

proxmox-backup-manager acl list

You can find a good explanation as to why this is happening and the reason for the design choice here [1], but essentially API tokens correspond to a subset of a user, rather than the user itself, so unless the backup is owned by the API token, it will not pass the authentication. You can change the owner of the backup group [2] to the API in case.
