max concurrent Frontview backup jobs

It would be nice to have the ability to set a limit for the max concurrent Frontview backup jobs in Frontview. This could be required to be an integer in a specified range from 1 to whatever the max allowed is in the current firmware 4.2.17.

    Many of my jobs overlap so I can't start more than one at a time on my x86 NAS units. Not a problem with the Sparc units as they can only run 1 at a time and queue the rest.
  • the x86 devices can handle multiple jobs.

    but if your sending to/from a sparc device, why don't you simply schedule them at different hours and/or days, or run them from the sparc device (which still only runs 1 job at a time)
  • I thought about that option but each job can vary from <1 min to days depending on the amount of data and if it has to go over VPN with my mediocre upload rate.

    So it would be a long drawn-out schedule and many files could drastically change, or be added between syncs. I guess I'm a bit paranoid about data loss (as if you couldn't already tell from my 9 NASs).

    +1 for me also (for both the 4.1.x and 4.2.x firmware).
