delete_backup
Delete a backup file from storage.
How to use it
Project documentation lists delete_backup for the ProxmoxMCP Plus MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
