[SOLVED] proxmox-backup-client namespace syntax

[dubdub]

I'm having problems with the --ns option for proxmox-backup-client.

I can back up a client directory to the Root Namespace, as expected, using the following:
proxmox-backup-client backup --backup-type host clientdata.pxar:/path/to/client/data --repository root@pam@192.168.1.10:8007:backups

I then added a namespace named "test" via the PBS GUI. But this command:
proxmox-backup-client backup --backup-type host clientdata.pxar:/path/to/client/data --repository root@pam@192.168.1.10:8007:backups --ns test

reports: parameter 'ns': schema does not allow additional properties.

I'm on PBS 2.2-1, and proxmox-backup-client version reports client version 1.1.14

I'm assuming I'm missing something basic, so grateful for any help.

What's your pveversion -v? Your client is a bit outdated, current version is 2.2.3 If you update the backup-client, it should work.

Unfortunately I'm trying to run proxmox-backup-client from a client using buster (openmediavault v5), for which the latest version is 1.1.14 - which means (I think) I have to upgrade the client to bullseye (i.e., OMV v6) first.

Just to follow up, I upgraded to OMV6 (bullseye) and the proxmox-backup-client backup command using namespaces worked.

Many thanks.
