You mean a backup job in Proxmox VE? Backup jobs are basically cron jobs. You can check the exact command that gets executed using
Code: 
cat /etc/pve/vzdump.cron
Of course, the exact command is also in the logs, so you could copy&paste that too, to recreate the problem.

Is it a copy & paste error, that the backup client is not on your Proxmox VE? What is the following?
Code: 
pveversion -v | grep backup-client

Hello, as you can see in the logs I post before the command is almost the same

Code: 
root@********~ # pveversion -v | grep backup-client
proxmox-backup-client: 0.9.0-1
root@******** ~ #
