AD OU included 200 Workstation and how to schedule one by one in one agent backup job?

[j2wong]

my client have 200+ Workstation need to use veeam agent backup, and those workstation are in 1 AD OU.
my client create one protection group and added this AD OU in.

then create one windows agent backup job and put this protection group.
but my client find the agent backup job are using a lot of time to do sythehic full backup

I just have a idea if agent backup can set different schedule within agent backup job by each workstation....?
or the agent backup job just can start backup job for all workstation at one time?

Hello,
for different start times, you would need different jobs. I suggest another way to fix the root cause.

Synthetic fulls work fine in the recommended architecture with REFS or XFS as repository file system: https://www.veeam.com/blog/advanced-ref ... suite.html

Best regards,

You can limit the amount of task slots on the repository, every task is counted as agent source disk and it's not enough free task slots - agent jobs will be started one by one. Cheers!
