Hello,
I have a large proxmox cluster but with only three nodes (three physical hosts that run hundreds of VMs). I have a PBS and I would really love to take backups of ALL my VMs nightly. Unfortunately, I can only run the backups in a relatively short period of time (from 23:00 to 06:00) so about seven hours. The problem is that if I try to take a backup of all the VMs in this short window, they won't finish in time, as I have lots of "waiting for lock" in place (backing up based on pools, so some backups are running while others are waiting for locks).
Can't we have multiple backup processes run in parallel at the same time? How do people usually take backups of a ton of VMs in a relatively short period of time?
Thank you!
