Thumbs up for this feature request .
We have a few 20+ TB file servers , each with multiple 2TB-5TB volumes , backuped up to Exagrid.
Restoring from landingzone is no issue (of course) . Restoring from the slower immutable tier is already a large coffee break
But when we need to restore older files (which seems to happen a few times a year) we have to restore from tape (which is our 3th tier).
Then we have to restore +20TB , you need the space for it and it takes some time .
It is not totally undoable , meanwhile you do another task but it would be much more efficiënt when when you should only have to restore the vbk from one virtual disk .
These days we have more and more needs for fileshares with large mediafile structures (multiple TB's for one project), this kind of projects only make it heavier . I would like to be able to split it up by volume instead of creating a dozen of fileservers .
Alternatives (or current workaraounds) :
-split up in multiple fileserver (as we are using dfs this is transparant to the endusers) , but as a fileserver doesn't take a lot of load it feels as a waste
-there are people that run multiple backup jobs on each VM , each time with a differents vdisk selected .This simulates the vbk per volume request but seems less manageable to me
Other ways to handle this ?
