# Proxmox Backup Server

## Overview of install/config
This guy's [YouTube tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv9v9HMZJNY) was very helpful!

## Changing the PBS admin password from CLI
Thank goodness I was able to [change PBS user password from CLI](https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/change-password-for-pbs-user-from-cli.151821/) because it's not as straightforward as one might expect.

TLDR: the *actual* correct syntax is:

```
proxmox-backup-debug api set /access/password --userid root@pam --password "Password"
```

The terminal will return `null` but the password is changed (annoying).

:::warning
If you just do `proxmox-backup-manager user update root@pam --password "MyPass"` the terminal will return a blank line.  It will *look* like the password changed, but it hasn't.  If you RTFM a little bit you'll learn that "This parameter is ignored."  Whatever dude.  That's annoying.
