Backuping one host at a time

[f4242]

Hello,

I activated automatic vzdump across my PVE cluster. The problem is that each host starts the backup process at the same time and this make to suffer my backup server. Is there a way to make the backup one host at a time? If not, could you considerate to add this feature?

Thanks.

The ability to do what you ask is already available. Take note that you can select which hosts to backup in the backup scheduler. You need only select any node that you want to backup and specify a host and a time. Duplicate it and select a different host and time.

mmm you are right, I did not see that. It should do the job but it would be even better if there was a settings to limit the number of simultaneous vzdump running across the cluster. This would avoid to manage the right timing by creating a custom schedule for each node.

Thanks!
