I use the following command to back up a virtual machine from VPE to PBS
Code: 
proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --repository 'root@pam@192.168.1.202:PBS-202' --backup-id 100
but now I cannot restore that virtual machine.
 
Hello,

the proxmox-backup-client tool is not the right tool for backing up VMs/CTs. vzdump [1] is the command you are looking for. However there is no need to use the command line tool, the functionality is exposed to the GUI as well. For that to work, you need to add your Proxmox Backup Server instance as a Storage to your Proxmox VE system.
