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

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

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

              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.

                      CR is a form of backup.

                            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.

                              @DustinB but this is impossible scenario. CR requried a VM SR, not a backup one) weird option.

                                You're still replicating a VM to a storage repository.

                                Maybe the system will allow you to create a more flexible CR job using different hosts, rather than 1:1 . . . ?

                                  @Tristis-Oris You are correct
                                  It doesn't work in a CR
