Proxmox Backup Client-only Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to :ref:`use the the Proxmox Backup Client <client_creating_backups>`

use the client-only repository.
Currently there's only a client-repository for APT based systems.

APT-based Proxmox Backup Client Repository
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For modern Linux distributions using `apt` as package manager, like all Debian
and Ubuntu Derivative do, you may be able to use the APT-based repository.
This repository is tested with:
- Debian Buster
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
It may work with older, and should work with more recent released versions.
In order to configure this repository you need to first :ref:`setup the Proxmox
release key <package_repos_secure_apt>`. After that, add the repository URL to
the APT sources lists.
Edit the file ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbs-client.list`` and add the following
snipped
.. code-block:: sources.list
:caption: File: ``/etc/apt/sources.list``
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client buster main
