Group Several Backup(jobs) To Run at Same Time

Post by tegroup »

I have a bunch of backup jobs named after the server the job was run on.

Veeam created a nice folder names such as
  • Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerName01
  • Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerName02
  • Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerNameBCD
  • Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerNameABZ
  • Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerNameLast
I'd like to "group" two or more jobs together because we now have enough bandwidth to support backing up these remote sites at the same time.

I can set ServerName02 and ServerNameBCD to be backed up in the ServerName01 job, but the folder in the file system will still be D:\Backup\ServerName01.

Is there a way to group backup jobs together?
or
Rename the filesystem location where a specific job is backing up to (Rename Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerName01 to Z:\VeeamBackups\ServerName01-02-BCD) and move the backup from ServerName02 and ServerNameBCD to this new combined name directory?

Hello Trevor

It is not necessary to merge these jobs for increased parallel processing. Instead, schedule all jobs simultaneously and ensure that your proxy/repository has a sufficient number of task slots available to process workloads concurrently from all jobs.

Recommendation for proxies: 2 Tasks per CPU Core
Recommendation for repositories: 2 Tasks per CPU Core, 1GB Memory per processed machine disk

You can utilize our "Move Backup" feature, available in version 12 and later. This functionality allows you to seamlessly transfer a single workload from one job to another. The backup files will be moved (fastclone aware), and the workload will be added into the target job.
