Feature Request: Edit NIC name and Tags during wizard of VM restore in VBA

Post by bci-mick-levin »

Hello, Veeam team.

I'd like the VBA to offer and allow editing the NIC name and Tags in the wizard for VM restore.

Currently the NIC name is autogenerated and not exactly compatible with our nomenclature. And we all know how hard it is to rename a resource in Azure :(

Also the tags are just copied from the original VM backup. I would like to change them before the restore.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Thanks for the request. Are you talking about to restore to the original or a new location for tags?

If it is the original location, could you clarify the use case of changing the original tags? As we would expect those to be required as they are when you need to restore back to the original location.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I was talking about the restore to a new location - that is when VBA is actually offering an option to change names of VM and virtual disks. But not the virtual NICs :(

Same about Tags - would be nice to edit them before the restore kicks in, since we have some policies which filter tags, and our restore procedure complicates dealing with exceptions for those policies.

Sincerely,
