Enabling the parallel feature in production

[FearlessHyena]

Hello, regarding the ghe-backup parallel jobs feature, is it safe to enable it in production currently? Or are there any known issues that we need to be careful about?

The backup config file mentions that this is still a beta feature but this seems to have been implemented almost 2 years ago in #597 so was just wondering if it was stable enough at this point

Any information on this would be appreciated If it's already a stable feature then the beta tag should probably be removed

👋🏻 I don't believe we have gotten a lot of feedback (positive or negative) on the parallel feature to really decide one way or the other as of yet.

Thanks for the follow up. If there hasn't been any negative feedback I think it's probably a good idea to just remove the beta tag and just track any issues as they're reported in future It's been quite a while since it was released and there are internal tests for it I'm guessing it's fairly stable at this point

thanks @FearlessHyena @djdefi - we will take a look at this and if it makes sense remove the beta tag - adding to our backlog to look at.
