[CHANGE REQUEST] Error message after installation of the CBT driver

Post by chrisflyckelen »

Hello guys,

I would like to request a really small but psychological change regarding the installation of the CBT driver.

If the installation of the CBT driver requires a reboot of the target system the error message says "Installation failed: Host reboot is required" or something similar, signed with a red exclamation mark. I don't have the exact wording handy.
But this is not an error. The installation finished successfully, it requests a reboot only.

Every time I work with agents on projects I have to discuss this with the customer. From my perspective, it might be helpful to change this from a red exclamation mark to a warning message.

As mentioned before it is only psychological things.

Thank you,
Christian

Ups ... I guess I created this topic in the wrong forum accidentally.

Maybe someone can merge this to the right place?

Thank you,

This seems like a right place Christian, assuming you're talking about agent-based backup of Windows machines.

Yes, I'm talking about that. I assumed that feature/change requests should placed on the top of the forum structure. Thanks.

I agree, this disturbed me from my Veeam beginnings, I just was to lazy for a FR because I got used to it.
@Egor Yakovlev This could be changed to e.g. "Installation warning: Host reboot is required to finalize installation." or something similar.
