Time to see if we can use Proxmox Backup Server to backup Other machines on the network...
(Spoiler Alert... Yes, yes we can!)

Oddities & such
During Install:
For some bizarre reason, the following errors happen during apt update on LMDE:
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'pbs-no-subscription/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs bullseye InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client bullseye InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
But, apparently, they don't mean anything...
During a run:
storing login ticket failed: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR must be set
Apparently, it's a harmless bug...
Error downloading .didx from previous manifest: Unable to open dynamic index "/mnt/datastore/Other/host/NaToth/2023-04-20T17:53:42Z/TINKER.pxar.didx" - No such file or directory (os error 2)
Happens first time you backup a particular dataset... (another "harmless bug"...)
