Backup job scheduling

Post by DCW »

Hi,

Is there any harm in setting all of my dozen backup jobs to kick off say between 6-7pm. There won't be enough resources for the proxies to hot add so I assume everything will just get queued and dealt to in an orderly fashion. Or is Veeam going to failover to network backup if it can't hotadd disks after 'X' amount of time?

At the moment I've staggered my jobs throughout the night but am wondering if there's any point in staggering them if they'll just automatically queue and wait for resources, then they would finish in the most efficient time possible.

Thanks

Hello,
just get queued and dealt to in an orderly fashion
correct. if you start job 1,2,3,4... at 6:00, 6:01, 6:02, 6:03... they will be queued in exactly that order and wait until resources are available. The backup mode will not change, because it does not matter whether a task is used for hot-add / nbd / san.

Yes, job chaining ("run after this job") is not recommended / not effcient.

Best regards
Hannes
