Feature Request: more components to add a geo tag to prevent potential data sovereignty warnings

[cpfleger]

Hello,

when you do a File to Tape Job you get a potential data sovereignty... warning.

AFAIK this cannot be prevented as there is no possibility to give the sources a location tag (at least I found nothing in the GUI)!

Think it would be a good idea therefore to extend the location tagging also to the managed servers.

Regards!

Moving it to the tape sub-forum then.

Hello Claus,

Was that a file to tape job with NDMP source? Thanks!

[cpfleger]

Hello Dima,

no, just a Windows Filer to Tape (copy) job.

Regards !

If that's a Windows filer it should be possible to locate it under Inventory > File Shares > File Servers node, right click and set the correct tag Location > Manage Location...

[cpfleger]

Nope. I did not register the windows filer as "SMB Filer", it's just a managed windows server.

And that one does appear under Backup Infrastructure / Managed Servers / Microsoft Windows - but not under Inventory / File Shares.
BTW the behaviour is the same as with prior VBR versions - it simply lacks a location tagging feature for the managed servers.

Regards!
Claus
