+You need to define a new storage with type 'pbs' on your `Proxmox VE`_
+node. The following example uses ``store2`` as storage name, and
+assumes the server address is ``localhost``, and you want to connect
+as ``user1@pbs``.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # pvesm add pbs store2 --server localhost --datastore store2
+ # pvesm set store2 --username user1@pbs --password <secret>
+
+If your backup server uses a self signed certificate, you need to add
+the certificate fingerprint to the configuration. You can get the
+fingerprint by running the following command on the backup server:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # proxmox-backup-manager cert info |grep Fingerprint
+ Fingerprint (sha256): 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe
+
+Please add that fingerprint to your configuration to establish a trust
+relationship:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # pvesm set store2 --fingerprint 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe
+
+After that you should be able to see storage status with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # pvesm status --storage store2
+ Name Type Status Total Used Available %
+ store2 pbs active 3905109820 1336687816 2568422004 34.23%
