Pick up only 3 copies from Remote to Local

[plastilin]

Hi all. I have the following question. There are 2 PBS One with a large amount of storage where backups are made from different Proxmox VE nodes, and the second with a small amount of storage. Is it possible to pick up certain virtual machine backups in the amount of 3 from PBS with large storage to PBS with small storage? If so, how to set it up?
The root cause was noticed that if you do 2 different backup tasks, the dirty file changes and a full backup is made to both PBSs every day.

you can use a sync job, which also allows to filter which groups to sync, and how many snapshots per sync iteration (don't forget to set up a prune job on the smaller PBS as well!)

Thanks for the answer. Can you give an example of what the filter should look like if on the main PBS I need to pick up only the last 3 copies of VM`s with ID 6000-6007

set a group filter for those groups, and then set "transfer-last" to 3 to only sync the 3 newest snapshots per group.
