Hello!
I've been using proxmox-backup-client between my servers just fine, but now i would like to setup direct fiber connection through them using a link-local IPv6 connection. Most software out there with proper IPv6 handling accept this, however i am having troubles when using a link-local address with an interface.

This command:
Code:
proxmox-backup-client backup fedora.pxar:/home/ed --repository 'testuser@pbs@[fe80::3c14:bfc8:9c7f:2c91%pbs0]:store'

Leads to:
Code:
Error: parameter verification failed - 'repository': value does not match the regex pattern

Searching for "interface" in the docs does not give any result about this.
What should i do?
