Feature request: Make the update process a bit smarter

Post by FrancWest »

Hi,

when installing a Veeam B&R update you have to manually disable all jobs, even if there aren't any running transfers. Would it be possible to make setup a bit smarter, so that it detects that there are no data transfers currently active and that Veeam setup temporarily disables the jobs by itself and enables them after setup is complete? This would make the requirement for manual intervention when installing an update a bit less work ;-)

Hi Franc,

Thank you for the request!

Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent situations when a user kicked off an update and blindly skipped the warning mentioning that all jobs will be disabled automatically? Also, I'm afraid it's a bit complex functionality that can potentially cause issues and lots of bugs, but we'll definitely see if there is something that can be done to simplify this task in future versions.

Thanks,
Fedor

Hi,

but when setup is successful it should automatically enable the jobs again that it had disabled prior to the start of the update. So not blindly disable en enable all jobs, but only those jobs that were enabled at the start of the update so that we don't get into a situation where disabled jobs by the user are also enabled again.
