Where do you see it in the logs and what do you want to configure?
I'm not sure I get the question completely

Well, I know people wants backups done as soon as possible, but we have some serious iowait at the beginning of the backup process and we really do not mind to nice it higher and check if it's possible to wipe or reduce that iowait:

Another usefull feature will be to add a delay per node to start the backups or any other feature so not every node start backups at the same time.
We do the backups over a 10Gb link at a 2 or 3 hours rate per node to mechanical disks cabins. We'd preffer a longer backups and less impact on reading VM disks and less or none iowait in the VMs if possible. We use a dual 40 gb bonding for ceph and hba and pm863 disks.

Another usefull feature will be to add a delay per node to start the backups or any other feature so not every node start backups at the same time.
We do the backups over a 10Gb link at a 2 or 3 hours rate per node to mechanical disks cabins. We'd preffer a longer backups and less impact on reading VM disks and less or none iowait in the VMs if possible. We use a dual 40 gb bonding for ceph and hba and pm863 disks.

The ionice priority and class are only honored with the 'cfq' io-scheduler, which, to my knowledge, is not commonly used these days:
* you can check the io-scheduler of a block-device with `cat /sys/block/<blockdevice>/queue/scheduler`
* In theory you can configure the ionice priority in /etc/vzdump.conf - but as said - I doubt that it will help on a current installation
I would try to set a bandwidth limit on Backup/Restore (GUI->Datacenter->Options) - but keep in mind that this will make your backups take longer, which in turn can have negative effects on the VM performance.
I hope this helps!

Thanks Stoiko, I though vzdump.conf only affected to vzdump, not to pbs. I'd preffer do not limit backup restore process, we will end changing manually with every restore process, but I guess I can give it a try just to test it
The origin of the problem to my understanding it's the hole VM disk it's read to check for the different chunks and there is where all the iowait it's generated. I do not know if there is another way to address the problem different to nice or limit the backup process or use a hole flash storage PBS.
