Install backup server on top of PVE, Error: 401 Unauthorized

Hi all,
1)
I would like to install the backup server directly on the PVE and have prepared the following:
- wget https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg
- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbs-enterprise.list:
deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs bookworm pbs-enterprise

But apt-update returns the error:
E: Failed to fetch https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs/dists/bookworm/InRelease 401 Unauthorized [IP: 212.224.123.70 443]
E: The repository 'https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs bookworm InRelease' is not signed.

I have a valid Proxmox Backup Server Basic Subscription Key, but how should I install it before installing the backup server?

2)
I assume the client can be installed on any other system. Is there also a Windows client?

3)
The backups are to be stored on a NAS.
Do I need to make provisions for this during installation or can it be accessed if the NAS is integrated under "Storage"?

Thank you for help.

Install the PBS through the pbs-no-subscription repository: [1]. Afterwards, disable/delete that repo, activate your subscription and (re-)enable the pbs-enterprise one: [2].

Official client: [3].
No official Windows client. Might have a look at this: [4].
