#!/bin/bash
export PBS_PASSWORD="somepassword"
proxmox-backup-client backup pve-etc.pxar:/etc --include-dev /etc/pve --repository some.ip.or.dns:Backups > /dev/null


#Parameter descriptions

#The password of the user *on the target PBS server* that is running the script. If you run the script as user 'johndoe', the PBS server must have a user 'johndoe' on the system with proper ACLs in PBS and this is that user's password. If you're using LDAP or something non-local, that's a another story.
#export PBS_PASSWORD="somepassword" 

#The backup file to create and/or use as the backup target within the datastore AND the path to backup. In this case, all of /etc.
#pve-etc.pxar:/etc 

#Include the mount point /etc/pve. /etc/pve is actually a fuse mount, so without this, /etc/pve is skipped which is bad. If there are other mount points within etc you want to include, specify them too.
#--include-dev /etc/pve

#The host and datstore to use for this backup
#--repository some.ip.or.dns:Backups

#Put any output from this script into the bitbucket rather than filling up logs or /var/spool/mail
#> /dev/null
