[Feature request] Creation time replica

[v.tom]

There is a column in the replica page with name 'creation date'.

In version 8 this column was filled with the creation date of the most recent restore point of the replica. In version 9 it's strange, it's filled with the creation date of first of all restorepoints of a replica.

E.g.: when you've created a replica on 1-1-2016 and only configured 10 restore points. on 2-25-2016 you'll still see 1-1-2016 as creation date instead of 2-25-2016.

This is very confusing because the whole column is completely useless now. Nobody cares when the first replica was made, but i think everybody cares when the last restore point was created.

Veeam support said that the bahavior in v8 was a bug, and was fixed in v9.

But the "bug" was very convenient for our customers who use Veeam.

Hello Tom,

Veeam support said that the bahavior in v8 was a bug, and was fixed in v9.

Could you provide your support ticket number?

We`ve made some tests and it looks like the UI shows the data of the first restore point creation, which is not really useful. We will fix the issue, taking your request into account.
Thanks!

Marvin,
We will recover v8 behavior and change the column title because it brings the confusion.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

[MarvinSt]

Glad to hear that Nikita! Thanks for your help.

Will this feature be present in the next update?

[Shestakov]

Hello Tom,
It will be fixed in the next version (9.5)
Thanks

[v.tom]

Thanks!

No problem.
Once you have a question, don`t hesitate asking!

I recently upgraded to version 9 and installed update 1. Today I noticed when on the "Ready" page for Replicas that the Creation Time is displaying the job creation date rather than the creation time of the last replica. My recollection is that version 8 displayed the date of the last replica created for the VM. The creation time of the job is not very useful in regard to the replicas in the "Ready" state. Anyone else notice this and is there a work around?

This is an already known behavior, will be addressed in the future version. Thanks.

In Veeam B&R Version 8.X, the Replicas > Ready screen has a column "Creation Time" which shows the last (most recent) replica creation time. This makes it easy to sort and eliminate obsolete replicas from the job/inventory.

In Veeam B&R Version 9.X the Replicas > Ready screen has a column "Creation Time" which shows the time that the job was created! This may be months or years ago! TO me, this is useless information.

Is this not a potential issue, rather than a feature request?

FYI, following forum rules, I tried to open a support case, but was denied as the engineer regarded this as a feature request.

Thanks,

[Shestakov]

Hello John,
That`s a known issue which is going to be fixed in upcoming version 9.5
Thanks!

Sorry for the double-post. I did google the issue and was unable to find this thread!

No worries, John.
Thanks for trying to find an answer before asking.

I hope 9.5 is coming out soon because it sure is a pain to verify each replica individually.
