Concurrent backups per node?

[tomstephens89]

I was wondering if there has been any progress towards implementing a feature that allows multiple backups to run concurrently per node.

I have a high spec Proxmox Backup Server with two 40Gbe interfaces, each proxmox node in my 4 node cluster has a pair of 10Gbe links. It would be great if my cluster wide backup job was able to start two backup jobs per node concurrently rather than one at a time.

I understand there was a historic bug tracking this but it appears there is no progress?

Thanks

I am not sure, but you can verify this by yourself:

A Backup-task will serialize the backup for running one concurrent backup per node.

But you can run several independent tasks (not the same one) at the same time. Could you test the behavior?

Of course this is just a workaround - and I am absolutely not sure if I am right..., but it should be easy to test it ;-)

the bug is this: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3347

I don't think there are any technical blockers, it "just" needs some sort of queue system to still bound the number of backup tasks running (with a default of "1" for backwards compat at least for the duration of 8.x).
