Why can't I Run all jobs at the same time: "Waiting for backup infrastructure resources availability"

Each task needs an amount of memory and processor cores. So, you can't run more tasks in parallel as hardware ressources are available.

But you say, that you are able to run two tasks in parallel only. So, I assume you have to increase the amount of allowed parallel tasks. This can be done in the repository definition and in the proxy definition.

I don't have screenshots at hand right now. I will see if I find some tomorrow and post them then.

Let me answer my own question.

It was a limitation set in the Proxies.

(FORHEAD SLAP)

Exactly this is what I tried to tell you. And I would have posted this screenshot tomorrow when I am in the office again.

For the backups you probably have to increase this option in the repository definitions, too.

Actually, this DIDN’T work, now I only have 1 running….

Thanks JMeixner, sorry I didn’t notice your post before posting my own.

But yeah i move it up to 6 and it didn’t fix it, and it seems i now only have 1 job running.

It is annoying that their is nothing to specifically tell you what the hold up is… 
Or is there???

Cheers

 

The issue that you modified the VMware proxy server rather than the on-host proxy for HyperV 
you will need to modify the HyperV hosts under managed servers → Hosts. if you right click you be able to modify it

Also make sure your backup jobs are using the on-host proxy mode for HyperV

Feel free to reach out to me directly if you need any assistance.

Hey Andre,

Yeah, Nar I had already done those ones before, this is why I thought i had struck Gold when I found the setting on Proxies.
 

I just 10+ mins ago set the “on-host Proxy” mode.

Still seems to be the same.

Ok , have you checked the concurrency on the repository aswell?

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/limiting_tasks.html?ver=110

Yeah did that one too.

Sorry I am a Noob to Veeam.

Just wish it told you what specifically it was waiting on.

EG: Reached Maximum Concurrent connections on Backup Proxies
 

or Bro, dude… your trying to do way too much shit at once, just chill out.

I mean i can get behind a message like that. 

Did you select Veeam Machine inside job backup? Or not?

KB says that vm is better to be not backupped inside bk job because stop concurrent backup.

Check if it’s similar case.

Marco:
Sorry i don’t understand your sentence.

Well that might explain it!!!!

I’m going to check the numbers of Disks its doing

Its hard to see exactly what its doing, in terms of #of disks.

I’m guessing the documentation did mention that somewhere, but I did not read down.

Nor did I find a post about it.

So my hope is that THIS post helps someone else out in the future.

@regnor

Your are correct about tasks on the proxy server. For the Backup Repo, tasks depends on the backup chains.

Tasks on Backup Proxy —> a single Virtual Disk is one Task.

Tasks on Backup Repository —> a Backup Chain is one Task.

For the Repo:

If you have „per Backup Job - Backup Chain“, veeam uses a single task for the entire Job.

If you have „per Machine - Backup Chain“, veeam uses a task per each machine.
