proxmox backup from PVE to PBS is happening as root only

[dheerajkv]

Hi

I have created a backupadm user on PVE and PBS to do the backup instead of root. On the PBS site, when I look at the contents, it shows user as backupadm@pbs. Even after that, the backup is happening as root from PVE side.
Can I initiate the backup from PVE to PBS as backupadm@pbs user ?

Best Regards

in order for the backups to be created with your newly created PBS backup user account, you will have to set up the PBS storage on the PVE host using that user account instead of the root account. Make sure your new user (or token if you are connecting via an api token) has the appropriate permissions on the datastore and that pre-existing backup groups are now owned by the new user as well, as otherwise you will run into owner check issues.
