Concurrent backup jobs

(RN316 OS 6.6.0)

I have an estat connected 8TB drive to which I backup the NAS.

Some shares are a multiple TBs and a backup can run for a long time.

I have other backup jobs to load PVR files onto the NAS which I'd like to run daily, and runs for an hour or so.

I also would like to run smaller adhoc jobs from time to time.

 

However when a big backup to the esata drive is running other jobs queue.

Is there a way to allow concurrent backups to run?

 

I search re this and some older posts suggest x86 could 'handle concurrent jobs. Mine always queue.

    In my experience OS-6 always queues.  It would be useful to have some settings to enable parallel jobs, and maybe to adjust the current backup queue order.  Perhaps post an idea on the idea exchange for this?
