Wishlist : Restore from NetApp Snapshot

Post by orb »

Hi,

We have an implementation where backups are taken and snapshop kept on the storage in parallel. The customer preferred to have backup source chosen by machine type and not storage.
This decision has a side effect create/keep snapshots from other machines which are not part of the job but stored on the same volume. It doesn’t really matter from the NetApp point of view but it does when you try to execute a restore from snapshots. Currently the restore interface/wizard will show you all snapshots taken but it doesn’t differentiate or show what you restore its application or crash consistent. Some sort or filtering or an extra column with that information would be nice.

Hi Olivier, when you open snapshot in Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots, there's a STATE column that represents right this - whether the VM is crash- or application-consistent.
