[SOLVED] PBS makes simultaneous backups-Crashes server

[tomas12343]

Hello everyone!

I'm having a very strange problem, I have 4 nodes, 3 of them with various vm's. Each night there is one backup schedule for all the vm's on all the nodes except the 4th (where the pbs backup lies). Each night proxmox creates a different task for backup for each node, running simultaneously, so I have 3 backup jobs running together, crashing the Datacenter (everything is very slow). All the backups are made on one disk and the system cannot handle it. I want to have one backup job and run it sequentially for all my vm's in all the nodes. Is this a bug? How can I fix it?

Proxmox v.7.0-11
Proxmox Backup server 2.0-10

Wow, no one has ever heard of this problem before? I mean, it's a pretty basic setup..

you can stagger your schedules by nodes. coordination across nodes is quite expensive so we don't do that for backup jobs.

Thank you for your response. In the end the most complex problems, have the simplest solutions..
