Feature request - Multiple selection and modification of the cache repository for unstructured data sources

Post by petesteven » 1 person likes this post

I know this request is similar to my other one about components, but it's a little different.

When replacing repositories for a customer, I have to adapt the cache repository to the new repo, as the old repo will then be removed. Currently, you have to click through each unstructured data source individually and select the new repo. I have customers who have more than 50 sources defined...
It would be useful if you could select several and change the cache repo for all of them at once.

Hi Peter,

Understood the request, we can certainly consider it, but I would also suggest PowerShell on this one:

Set-VBRNASFileServer - Veeam Backup & Replication Veeam PowerShell Reference
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/p ... tml?ver=13

Set-VBRNASSMBServer - Veeam Backup & Replication Veeam PowerShell Reference
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/p ... tml?ver=13

The -CacheRepository parameter is what you need, and should make this pretty simple.

Hi David,

It would be great if you could look into that.
Of course, selecting and clicking in the UI will be easier for most customers. So this change would make life easier for them.
