Hi,
I running backup task and it's across many nodes at same time
in my opinion this case the error: qmp command 'backup' failed - got timeout
for many VMs

there is any option to extend the timeout for the pbs so it's will wait more before getting timeout?
any other solution?

Regards,
 
The current timeout for connecting to the server is 60 seconds[0] (that's the one your seeing AFAICT), and there's an additional one set to 120 seconds in the Rust code[1]. There's currently no way to adjust that, but 60 seconds should really be enough... Is there anything in the logs maybe? Are you monitoring network and disk usage? In general, a workaround would of course be to stagger your backups, so all of your hosts don't hit the PBS at once - if the hardware is overloaded, there's little we can do.
