Hi,

What I would like to see is an option to set a delay for the "repeat missed" feature of backup jobs.
My PVE servers each got a PBS LXC and the PBSs will sync each other. But the problem here is, that these "repeat missed" backup jobs will always fail, as they will trigger right after boot before the "start all guests" task has actually finished. Therefore the Backup task fails as the PBS storage can't be used as the PBS LXC isn't started yet.

Would be really great if I could tell the backup job to wait for 5 minutes after boot or atleast that this backup job triggers after the "start all guests" task has finished.
 
I created a vzdump hook script that adds a boot delay. Works fine as a workaround. Let me know if someone is interested in it.
