How inconvenient... that the two nodes with absolutely 0 vm's are offline.
The VM's to be backed up are located on the two online nodes. Why can proxmox backup server not figure out to do the damn backup?

So, as a silly work around I now have to set the backup job to only run on server 1 first, then manually change it to server two, because I am unable to select server1+2 at the same time for job.It's either ONE server or ALL servers...Why?

are you sure the jobs did not start on the other nodes? looking at the code, we simply start the the job on every node, we just show the error message for the nodes we couldn't
 
you need to select in backup job the node, where the servers are located.
if there is listed in the node selector menu "all" then you receive this error message
