Feature request - Groups/Organizational units for backup jobs

[HErceg]

Hello,

Would it be possible to add option to organize jobs/copy jobs into organizational units?It is easy to implement and would not change anything related to jobs itself.On the other side it would allow users to have it grouped the way we like for better visibility.

And later maybe add option to set job preferences for whole groups?

Basically the idea is to organize them similar to Active Directory and maybe one day have something like GPO.This would ofcourse apply on settings that can be common.

Hi Hrvoje,

Thanks for feedback!
Please note that today you can create custom Views with Veeam Backup and Replication v10, which allow you to 1 click filter jobs based on Workload, Type, Result, Status, but what is more valuable - "Job Name includes" - which can be easily used for department filtering - say all jobs for Financial department machines will have some tag like "[FIN]" in the job name - you can easily filter jobs by that!
Upcoming v11 will bring yet even more love to that, allowing you to add filters as permanent clickable "nodes" in the job management tree.

/Cheers!

Hi Egor,

Filter view is nice feature, but groups would add another dimension to visibility and organization of jobs.I believe it is quite easy(and quick) to implement, and it wouldn't affect functionality at all.
Simple example is current menus - "jobs", "copy jobs", "tapes"... which really helps to separate jobs view.Groups would just expand it further.

Now that you mentioned do you think filter view search could be expanded to include job description?

I guess it could.
Noted your feature request.

/Thanks!
