Please make sure that `proxmox-backup` is installed correctly: `apt -f install` or `apt install proxmox-backup`

The error means that the last update to the rrd data was in the future.
Make sure that you have an NTP client installed and running (chrony is the default in PVE 7). This should take care of synchronizing time.
