Proxmox backup queue.

[jhr]

I have a Proxmox VE server with one VM on it. And I consider to setup a backup job to PBS every hour. But sometimes happen that the backup job is not finnished and a new backup job waits for end of previous backup and when it stops the new backup start immediately and then another backup job is waiting, and so on, so on, so on.



Is there some possibility to say: if the previous backup job is still running, don't run another backup job or don't go to queue, just skip this one and send info to admin ?

there's a "repeat missed" setting under advanced options that should do what you want (well, it doesn't send a notification, but it does skip additional runs like that).

But I want the opposite, do not repeat missed.


My server automaticaly runs jobs ASAP, even I did't check that settings (Run jobs as soon as possible if they couldn't start on schedule, for example, due to the node being offline.)

sorry, you are right - repeat missed won't handle your scenario.
