Feature Request

When adding a backup job, on the target page, I'd like to get warning "Are you sure you want to copy to the original repository?", if you are trying to backup to the same repository where the original backup is. I seem to forget to change this quite often

Are you referring to the backup copy job?

Hi!

Yes, backup copy job

[foggy]

Backup copy job automatically prevents copying data from the repository that is specified as a target for it. However, it is probably worth warning a user if the same repository is used as both source and target for backup copy job.

Yep, or even graying out the source repository.

Graying out raises even more questions (why is it grayed out, how do I enable it). Message box explaining the issues with an attempted configuration should fit this scenario better. Foggy, please create a CR for this. Thanks!

Yep, this was put down right after my previous post, though in the form of adding a warning in the session log (instead of a message box right in the wizard). While in the wizard, depending on how VMs were added to the job, you might not know whether the specified repository is the same as source. Anyway, thanks for the heads up, hyvokar!
