docs: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/api-viewer/index.html#/admin/datastore/{store}/groups

ive attempted a few variations but all seem to fail

delete_backup = proxmoxerpbs.admin.datastore('dsname').groups.delete(backup_id=1234, backup_type="vm")
# proxmoxer.core.ResourceException: 400 Bad Request: Bad Request - {'errors': b"parameter verification failed:\n- 'backup_id': schema does not allow additional properties.\n- 'backup_type': schema does not allow additional properties."}

delete_backup = proxmoxerpbs.admin.datastore('dsname').groups.delete(params={"backup-id":1234, "backup-type":"vm"})
# proxmoxer.core.ResourceException: 400 Bad Request: Bad Request - {'errors': b"parameter verification failed:\n- 'params': schema does not allow additional properties.\n- 'params': schema does not allow additional properties."}

example curl of what works (creds removed)

curl 'https://hostname/api2/extjs/admin/datastore/dsname/groups?backup-type=vm&backup-id=1234' -X 'DELETE'
