Minor issue - Previous Button Available on Summary

Post by rtol »

I have noticed that when I am configuring a backup, after I arrive at the summary screen the "Previous" button is greyed out. This prevents me from making any changes to the backup without going back through the "configure backup" link.

Hello Robert,
That is expected behavior – once you completed the very last Schedule step you click the Finish button and all the settings you configured are saved before Summary appears.

Feature Request - Previous Button Available on Summary

Post by ninjaburn81 »

This is a UI complaint I have in both B&R and the Endpoint client: When hitting the Summary page, the '< Previous' button is no longer available.

I have had several head-desk moments where I check the Summary and realize I have selected the wrong volume/schedule/repository/etc and I need to go back to somewhere else in the process to fix it. Yet to do that, I need to click 'Finish', reopen the Edit and find where I need to go again. I am sure this is simply a matter of Veeam being consistent in their UI interface (which is commendable), but it drives me NUTS! Have other users/admins ever complained about this?

Yes, many times. But this was the architectural decision made at some point long ago in response to huge amount of bugs that suggested behavior caused. I suppose we can revisit this one day, when our UI team has nothing more valuable to work on.

Was just a request, wasn't trying to be annoying! :oops:

Adam,

You weren't annoying. Anton just explained why we have this today. Trust me when I say we take all of your feedback with us :wink:

The more feedback we get, the more we like it.

Cheers

Mike
