Either I'm doing something less "designed" or I'm the only one needing/asking for it, but is there a simple way to have multiple pools, selected for backup in the same backup job? The problem I keep getting hit by, is that if I have multiple pools on the same hypervisor /PVE tryoing to do backups, I either have to stagger their schedule making the overall backuptime longer, or risk that a long running backup might 'cause timeouts in other backup jobs.

This for me would be solved either by having multiple pools attached to the same backup job - something that isn't seen possible in the current (7.1) PVE editions, or to have another (not available in PVE 7.1) the option to put an instance in multiple pools, ie. a set of pools that is my backup jobs, and another set of groups that is my clients groups.

How do others solve this problem?
