Run backup job after completion of another job

[bigun89]

Is it possible to schedule a backup job to run right after another backup job finishes?

Hi,
there is a global lock for vzdump so that only one job runs at a time (on a given node). Just set the start time of the second job a bit later than the first one and it should wait for completion. By default a job waits for 180 minutes for the lock, you can use the lockwait parameter to increase this further.

How about one job at time on datacenter, not node? Is is possible to set? I have 3 nodes, and I'd like to set one backup job for all vm's. Now every 3 nodes starts at the same time doing one vm at time on each.
