proxmox-backup¶
Synopsis¶
This daemon is normally started and managed as systemd
service:
systemctl start proxmox-backup
systemctl stop proxmox-backup
systemctl status proxmox-backup
For debugging, you can start the daemon in foreground using:
proxmox-backup-api
Note
You need to stop the service before starting the daemon in foreground.
Description¶
This daemon exposes the Proxmox Backup Server management API on
127.0.0.1:82
. It runs as root
and has permission to do all
privileged operations.
NOTE: The daemon listens to a local address only, so you cannot access
it from outside. The proxmox-backup-proxy
daemon exposes the API
to the outside world.
