Hello, in the Datacenter->Backup settings I created a job to backup all VMs in a 3-node cluster. To me it seems the backup job tries to backup all VMs in parallel. Is there a way to process the VMs in the job one by one?

I found the wiki page for this here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore#vzdump_configuration

Should I just put the line performance: max-workers=1 in the file /etc/vzdump.conf?
Do I need to restart a service after that change?
