After Upgrade to BE2012: Question regarding backing up several servers.
I upgraded to BE2012. My first impression was: Oh dog, it's horribly slow and I have to click thousand times more and I miss an overall view of reports.
Anyway, I must backup 10 servers and before I had one Job that backed up server by server to disk and did a copy2tape job afterwards. I was able to change the sequence the servers got backed up.
Now I have 10 servers and 10 jobs that all start at the same time. What's the best practise to backup 10 servers (B2D, then Copy2Tape) in a custom order without idle time between the jobs?
