"The running backup has not shown any progress for some time and may be frozen" error message
This is just an annoyance but for backup jobs that I have schedule to write to a primary and a secondary storage node, the clients often report an alert that the job is taking too long. When these jobs were backing up quickly (~4min) to just the primary storage node, the alerts never happened. It seems adding the secondary storage node caused the job to run much longer and breached some (hidden?) threshold in Acronis so now it alerts.
If there is a threshold for these alerts, can it be adjusted?
Also, Acronis 12.5 manual doesn't really go into detail on precisely HOW backups to secondary location work in a backup plan. It doesn't say that the backup writes first to the primary location and on completion, replicates to a secondary location or if the backup client writes to both locations simultaneously.
I'd also like to know from a practical standpoint, if my design is to have every client backup to a primary and secondary storage node (in another site over 10Gb WAN), is it better to create each plan pointing to both locations or should I create another plan to replicate primary storage node contents to the secondary storage node?

I tried this and ran into an issue where I cannot create a replication tasks between storage nodes. See my other post today.
