I have backup job of all VMs (3 VMs of 120+ are excluded due to specific reasons) in 9-node PVE 9.2 cluster
I have rebalance turned on:
Sometimes there is issue that backup starts and also rebalancing thinks that there's a time to rebalance VM. As the backup job does one by one VM backup of the static list, defined at start of backup job at every node - there's issue when the VM is rebalanced during being in queue.
Log from backup:
My PVE version is:
