the following was caused by a typo on the IP address. there is no bug, just an operator error.

Code: 
pvesm add pbs a-maint-pbs --datastore maint-store1 --server 10.1.25.20  --fingerprint .....  --username pbs-user@pbs  --password <password>
create storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: proxmox-backup-client failed: Error: error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 111)

here is some more info:
Code: 
proxmox-backup-manager datastore list :
┌──────────────┬──────────────────────────┬─────────┐
│ name         │ path                     │ comment │

cat user.cfg

        comment Superuser

user: pbs-user@pbs
        enable true
        expire 0

I think it's a normal and human error, and people will make it. So, it may actually help someone to triple check their IP/domain etc. when getting the "error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 111)" error and finding this thread.
So, IMO it's fine to stay :)
