Run "copy" from multiple computers?

Hi,

I’m backing up multiple computers/repositories into the same local storage location, and then using the copy command to replicate this to offsite storage too.

I understand the recommendation of only running prune from a single machine, which is what I’m doing (for both local and remote storage repositories)… but is it ok to run copy from multiple machines? The only edge case I can think of is if it runs at the same time on different machines and they both try uploading the same chunk at the same time - is that scenario handled?

Thanks,
-Alex

It should be fine. One copy will overwrite the other but since both copies are identical, it doesn’t matter which one is kept.
