`Proxmox VE`_ Integration
-------------------------
You need to define a new storage with type 'pbs' on your `Proxmox VE`_
node. The following example uses ``store2`` as storage name, and
assumes the server address is ``localhost``, and you want to connect
as ``user1@pbs``.
.. code-block:: console
# pvesm add pbs store2 --server localhost --datastore store2
# pvesm set store2 --username user1@pbs --password <secret>
.. note:: If you would rather not pass your password as plain text, you can pass
the ``--password`` parameter, without any arguments. This will cause the
program to prompt you for a password upon entering the command.
If your backup server uses a self signed certificate, you need to add
the certificate fingerprint to the configuration. You can get the
fingerprint by running the following command on the backup server:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-manager cert info | grep Fingerprint
Fingerprint (sha256): 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe
Please add that fingerprint to your configuration to establish a trust
relationship:
.. code-block:: console
# pvesm set store2 --fingerprint 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe
After that you should be able to see storage status with:
.. code-block:: console
# pvesm status --storage store2
Name Type Status Total Used Available %
store2 pbs active 3905109820 1336687816 2568422004 34.23%
Having added the PBS datastore to `Proxmox VE`_, you can backup VMs and
containers in the same way you would for any other storage device within the
environment (see `PVE Admin Guide: Backup and Restore
<https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_vzdump>`_.
