Hi,
In our infrastructure we use PVE + PBS and VMWare+Veeam.
A feature that is very useful on veeam and that i don't see on PVE or PBS is the backup retry.
This functionality is quite useful for us because if a backup fail for any reason, the backup is retried 3 times before it's canceled.
It happens sometimes for whatever reason and having this functionality saves us a lot of time and tells us that if a backup failed more than 3 times and got cancelled there is a very good reason that we should diagnose immediately.
I saw that in the advanced section of a backup job there is an option called "repeat missed" but from what i gathered in the documentation it's not for that purpose :
"Since scheduled backups miss their execution when the host was offline or the pvescheduler was disabled during the scheduled time, it is possible to configure the behaviour for catching up. By enabling the Repeat missed option (repeat-missed in the config), you can tell the scheduler that it should run missed jobs as soon as possible."
From what i saw online there is maybe a way to code it myself by creating a cron script that looks into the logs in /var/log/pve/tasks/ and looks for the keyword failed but it would be nice to have that as a full feature.
