VVEngine - Condition to check if other profile is running

Is it possible to include a condition in the profile that if an other profile is running it doens't run.

I have a pc with a shared folder. The server backups the files to the server. After midnight the server then backups the files to a remote server. Especially the remote server backup takes a long time when a file of several gb has to be send over WAN. I would like that the local backup would also hold execution till the WAN profile is finished. This to make sure files doesn't get corrupted.

Is one profile running on the PC with the shared folder and the other profile on the server (different computer)? thanks

In that case you could have one profile creating a specific file when starting and removing it when done, and then have the other profile not running if the file exists (a restriction condition in VVEngine) thanks

Both profiles are running on the same PC.

I'll try the approach with creating a file, then check in the other profile if the file exist. Thanks for the reply!
