Backup's vm's proxmox

[antoniormjr]

Hello everyone! Tenhos three servers in a cluster, each server has 6 virtual machines from viferetes platforms. I have scheduled a backup on the weekend of all virtual machines of all cluster servers. These backups are GZIP and are conducted via NFS. The problem is when the backup starts it performs the GZIP of the first virtual machine of all physical servers, so the first time I have three backups of active vms generating a very large network demand.
There is the possibility of Proxmox generate a backup of each VM at a time?

Just generate different backup jobs (one for each node).

Grateful for the return.
All right, I know this feature, however always have to analyze the backup times for not occur simultaneous backup's ... If the Proxmox tool manage that after the end of the backup 100 starts the backup 101 to another node, it would be fantastic. The contrary will have to adapt to creating job's different ...

Hello, antoniormjr
this is my first post in the forum, but I'm following for years and using Proxmox for years, it's a great product

I have 3 cluster, with 2 and 4 servers (and other stand-alone servers). I made a backup script, and run on every server/
https://github.com/pedroamador/pvebackup

You can schedule on one server, and in the "post-script.sh" script make the second execution on the second server, and in the "post-script.sh" make the third exec... the script is ready to make daily, weekly and monthly backup of all containers / KVM's... hope it help
