Double CR backup

[Tristis Oris]

I noticed that a single CR backup job creates two VMs in each pool.

Also, I found an unavailable button in the backup task.

I don't understand when or what exactly was changed.

If You have 2 remotes in the job it can be enabled

@ph7

still not clear what it does
"one backup archive of each VM"... on first remote ? on second ? alternatively ?

[Pilow]

haaaaaaaaaa

perhaps if you have 4 VMs in the backup job, it will put 2 VMs on first remote, and 2 other in second remote...

@Pilow RTFM

The system spreads data intelligently across the pool. It prioritizes available capacity, while keeping incremental chains consistent.

My understanding is this should only be happening during backups, not a CR run though.

In the above blog posting this feature is explained that @ph7 referenced.

You get to add multiple backup repo's to your XO instance, if your backup SR becomes full, XO starts using the second, third etc storage repo so you don't have to lift and shift your backups.
