I'm testing PBS client by attempting to backup a Debian VM client.
My first attempt was to run the following command from the client:
Code:
proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --repository 192.168.50.234:backup1

Whereby:
  • 192.168.50.234 is the IP address of my PBS
  • 'backup1' is the name of datastore where my backups reside.
After running the command, I enter my PBS root password, then enter 'y' to two fingerprint prompts and then see the error 'Error: channel closed when starting backup'

I'm guessing it's a permission error, but not sure.
Suggestions?


*EDIT* Nevermind, I think it was an anomaly, I run it again and the error did not occur.
