Can a sync job overwrite a newer backup?

Hi.

I have two Proxmox Backup Servers. They each receive different automatic backups but they have two sync jobs configured so that they end up having the same contents.

Everyday GuestX starts an automatic backup at 0:00 which goes to PBS1. And everyday PBS2 starts its sync job at 12:00, pulling GuestX backup so that both PBS1 and PBS2 end up having the same GuestX backup in the afternoon.

What if one day at 6:00 I do a manual backup of GuestX and send it to PBS2 instead of sending it to PBS1?
What will happen at 12:00?
Will PBS2 pull the backup done at 0:00 as always and then overwrite the newer backup manually done at 6:00?

Thank you
 
Remote Sync doesn't pull older backups.
Same is true for push sync jobs. Only snapshots newer than the latest snapshot present in the group on the sync target will be synced.
