Amount of backups

[Marek]

Hi!
Can you tell me how to increase backup amounts? I mean number of backuping VMs at once?

Right now there is GLOBAL LOCK preventing 2nd backup process to start. GLOBAL LOCK is letting 2nd backup process to start only when 1st is done.

I don't know how you can do that but I'm not sure that's a good idea at all. Your host might come to a crawl with all backup processes running at the same time. Also, having multiple backups run at the same time, leeching from the same storage will have negative impact on I/O probably making the backups not run that much faster than you'd like to.

Yes i know, i am prepared for that load, one backup at once is not enough for us currently - and i want at least to test multiple backups, there is a possibility it wont help much but also this can resolve our issue and i must test it my self - so the question is still actual
