Feature Request: integrate Surebackup result into Inventory

Post by aQuestionmark »

hi,
Inventory tab in Veeam is a handy feature to have where you have list of servers in your environment.

It would be a little bit better if there was a counter for Surebackup and listing of last result for any particular server.
That way it is easy to see if a server has gone through Surebackup job (I have my Surebackup job randomly select 5 servers for testing) and what the last result was.

An extra bonus would be if the Column "Malware Status" would show anything else but be blank. :D

best regards,
Óli

Hi Oli,

Interesting request, and can somewhat understand it. A few questions/comments though as I'm not sure it's the right place for SureBackup reporting:

1. Surebackup is meant to confirm backups are usable, bootable, and to do content scans/integrity check of the backup files. Only the content scan has a relationship to the production machines which is what Inventory tracks. There's a lot that a successful Surebackup can imply and only a little room in a column to show it; what would be most important for the column to show if it were implemented?
2. The VeeamOne Recovery Verification Report does the same thing effectively with far more details.
3. Regarding Malware Status column, are you saying you have Malware Detection Events that are not cleared but the Inventory doesn't show the status in the Malware Status column? In my 12.3.1 lab it shows appropriately, so if this is the case a Support Case is the way to go as that is not expected.

hi,
thank you for your comments.

1. I was thinking more like, if server is scanned and verified by Surebackup, I can go into inventory and see that server A, D, E have been scanned and verified by Surebacku three times but Server B and C five times and Server F only once and G zero times. It would act more as a counter. Then I can adust the jobs if necessary (I do know of "VeeamONE Verified VMs" report and I guess it would be similar column as in there for Failed/Total Verifications).
2. I do know of this report and have utilized it even though today, we get report using powershell.
3. I am talking about the column "Malware Status" under Inventory\Virtual Infrastructure\.... but I have not seen anything in that column but I will open a support case next time anything pops up and I cannot see anything there (never has but since I updated to 12.3.1.1139 nothing has come up so, fingers crossed).
