Proxmox Pbs Backup Job

This skill should be used when adding a new host (LXC or VM) to an existing Proxmox Backup Server nightly backup schedule, creating a vzdump job via `pvesh`, debugging a backup job that succeeds but the prune step fails with a permission error, excluding one specific mount point (e.g. a bulky media/data volume) from an LXC's backup while still backing up its rootfs, setting up PBS-to-PBS replication via a Remote + Sync Job (a second physical PBS instance holding a pulled copy of another datastore), a PBS API token that returns `{}` from `/access/permissions` despite a correct-looking ACL grant, `apt update` failing with `401 Unauthorized` against `enterprise.proxmox.com` on a no-subscription PBS install, or restore-testing a PBS datastore/replica by restoring to a throwaway VMID/CTID. Trigger phrases include "add backup job pvesh", "vzdump schedule new host", "pbs prune permission denied", "Datastore.Modify Datastore.Prune missing", "backup job finished with errors", "proxmox-backup-client prune permission check failed", "exclude mount point from backup", "mp0 backup=0", "vzdump exclude volume", "pbs remote sync job", "proxmox-backup-manager sync-job create", "pbs replica second instance", "pbs api token permissions empty", "access/permissions returns empty object", "pbs enterprise repo 401 unauthorized", "pbs-enterprise.sources", "restore test throwaway ctid", "pct restore verify backup", "querying namespaces failed permission check", "pbs sync job remove-vanished".
