      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

              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.

                              "one backup archive of each VM"... on first remote ? on second ? alternatively ?

                              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
