There is a configuration file that is not present on my backup server which I found on the Net, works like this:

# Listen on both interfaces for management
http:
listen:
- 172.16.30.208:8007
- 10.42.1.5:8007
# Bind backup service to backhaul network
backup-server:
bind-address: 10.42.1.5

I cannot find any documentation on it, but it seems to works. Can anyone shed any information on it? I have two networks on the backup server, but want to use only one for backups but want to access the server from both
 
As far as I can tell this isn't a valid config file. I can't find references in the code either. So either I'm unable to properly search or the author or their LLM hallucinated something. strace or fatrace should be able to tell you for certain whether the file is being read or not.

This file definitely does not exist for Proxmox Backup Server.
The Backup Server always listens on port 8007, on all possible interfaces.

All available configuration files are documented extensively here: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/configuration-files.html :)

The default way to restrict access is to set up proper firewalling, instead of letting individual daemons listen on specific addresses.

I wondered why I could not find more references to that file. Thank you for clearing that up.
I am questioning everything I read now.
