Link Backup Jobs

[paolone]

Hello

I'm new in Proxmox I've 2 backup jobs and I want to start the second job after the first finish.
How can I obtain this goal ?

My best regards

You may use a backup hook script for this. You can find an example on your Proxmox VE Server at
/usr/share/doc/pve-manager/examples/vzdump-hook-script.pl to get you started. The event you're looking for is probably the job-end.

Copy the script to e.g. /usr/local/bin/ and change it as you like. If you prefer to use any other script language, I'm sure there are more examples to find in the forum or elsewhere.

If your script is ready, edit the /etc/vzdump.conf, uncomment and add it to the script: line.

You could also schedule the second backup job one minute after the first one. Here, PVE will only do one backup task per node at a time, so the second job should wait until the first one finished showing a "INFO: trying to get global lock - waiting..."
