thanks, IMHO, if job chaining no longer has relevance then it should be removed form the product, otherwise in the case of chained jobs then any job in the chain should have its run type determined by the head of the chain unless its overridden by the job stage.
We do use block clone file system (XFS) so we do leverage synthetic fulls etc and this gives predictable fantastic performance improvements, but for reasons such as the recent CBT scare on 8 update 2, there is still merit to run regular active full backups as part of the backup strategy.
When we started using Veeam over a decade ago, because of the de-dupe job file based architecture, the performance slowed down as the jobs got larger (due to the size of the de-dupe tables), and the only solution at the time was to split the jobs.
We now use per VM de-duplication option, so we sacrifice some of the de-dupe benefits to gain consistent performance.
Our workloads are quite dynamic (being a dev shop) so no solution is going to be a perfect for us.
I was just hoping a relatively small UI change to the job schedulers would help many people utilising job chains have a more predictable experience with the product.
