Feature requests

[cpfleger]

Hi Teeam,

regarding v12 I'd like to ask for the following:

. For the Scheduler - "after this job" added the feature to be able to limit that to specific days (these days/weekdays/everyday) and/or time blocks as sometimes you want to run a specific job maybe only on specific days

. Once more - File copy job to to eventually support incremental mode. I know that request is not new but for whatever reason still no change here?

. More consitency in the console - depending on the job type in the wizard there are different names for the same things used:
we find Storage (VM job) or Backup repository (Filer backup job) or Target (Backup Copy job) - different names for the same thing do not make much of a sense?!

. More consitency in the Advanced settings window - it makes not much of a sense when "Notification" is most on the time a tabe somewhere in the middle but with filer backup suddelny/surprisingly situated as the very righ tab

Thx & regards!

Hello Claus,

1) What is the use-case on using "after this job" in general? It's a bad practice since many years and "chained scheduling" should be used (e.g. start one job at 8pm and the next one at 8:01pm). That prevents from situations, where the first job fails and the chained jobs never start.

2) file copy jobs are not really popular / almost no requests. What do you try to do with these jobs? Our focus is "backup", not syncing files between folders. Overall, the request is valid, yes.

3) @Egor Yakovlev - what do you think?

4) @Egor Yakovlev - agree, that looks inconsistent

VMware job


Hyper-V job


NAS backup job
