Jobs Distribution

It is recommended to split the target backup between different instances, selecting them by type, tags or even having one job per instance.

Following this recommendation, errors in one job will not invalidate a whole backup cycle, where some instances will be backed up successfully, even if some others experienced errors. This also makes it easier to identify the cause of any error.
