Hi
May you check what the following folder contains with ls ?

ls /etc/proxmox-backup/

When you install Proxmox-Backup-Server, there is /etc/proxmox-backup created, no matter if bare metal or not, as it's just a debian package that is being installed.

So it seems like you either installed proxmox-backup-server in some other way, or have a broken installation.

Hmm everything seems correctly, can you try running it again inside ProxmoxBackup Server?

The script will check the datastore.cfg

Check if this is a Proxmox Backup Server by verifying the presence of the datastore config.

if [ ! -f /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg ]; then
header_info
msg_error "Proxmox Backup Server not detected!"
exit
fi

In my setup (also bare metal and same procedure) I don't have this file.
