[SOLVED] repository url with username does not seem to work

[martin21]

I do

root@tuxmaster:~# proxmox-backup-client backup --include-dev /boot/efi --include-dev /srv root.pxar:/ --repository usb Password for "root@pam": Error: cancelled

I do

root@tuxmaster:~# proxmox-backup-client backup --include-dev /boot/efi --include-dev /srv root.pxar:/ --repository localhost:usb Password for "root@pam": Error: cancelled

I do:

root@tuxmaster:~# proxmox-backup-client backup --include-dev /boot/efi --include-dev /srv root.pxar:/ --repository backup@localhost:usb Error: parameter verification errors parameter 'repository': value does not match the regex pattern

I re-read documentation:

Respository Locations

The client uses the following notation to specify a datastore repository on the backup server.

[[username@]server:]datastore

I am confused. How does the repository location with username look like?

How does the repository location with username look like?

a user name has a realm, so use, for example, root@pam for system users or backup@pbs for PBS ones.

That! Thank you.

Looks funny though: backup@pbs@localhost:usb

Looks funny though: backup@pbs@localhost:usb

sure does... One has only that many safe ASCII separators to be able for use, though

Please add realm requirements into docs.
