Hi,

We use DPM for Hyper-V virtual machine backups, but we have encountered a significant issue as the number of VMs has increased. We have 5 Protection Groups on the DPM Server, each with a different number of datasources. One Protection Group has 300 datasources, and when the backup starts according to the schedule, the DPM server stops responding.

Is there a way to manage the queue for Protection Groups to prevent excessive queueing? For example, if a Protection Group starts at 11 AM, can we configure it to start backing up the first 50 datasources, then another 50 after 30 minutes, and so on? Or is the only solution to split the Protection Group into several smaller Protection Groups?

Thank you.
