Feature request: Veeam File Explorer elevation by default

[Seve CH]

Hello

When doing file-level restores of Windows servers, by default the Veeam explorer opens unelevated. Only when starting to do a file restore, a warning comes telling that it is running unprivileged. The backup operator usually tries to restore something, it fails for lack of permissions and then realizes "oh, I'm unelevated"... and he/she must start from scratch. This is quite slow, because the backup must be mounted again, etc. (unless I am missing something there). This error also adds a lot of steps to document in the ticket (qualified environment).

So this is my feature request:

• Don't wait to display the warning "Running unelevated. Run as Administrator" and add an additional button on the GUI to reopen elevated if running unelevated. The button may remain grayed out if running elevated.

• Settings option to "always request elevation" (and elevate before mounting anything), which is our use case: Standard users have no access to files, so we must always elevate to administrator to restore them.

Thanks for taking this request into account

Best regards
