I’m looking for a way to do a sequential backup of all my proxmox nodes, for example for the node1, node2, node3, start the backup process with the node1 when this node finish the backup, now start with the node2 , and the same when this node finish the backup process start with the node3.

what you could do is to leverage the possibility to have a hookscript
per host for backups, so you could start a backup on machine 2 at the 
end of backup of machine 1 etc.

the disadvantage is that you do not see the secondary backup jobs in the 
gui...
