Feature Request - Surebackup using left / right cursors to see previous surebackup job results

Post by JayP » 1 person likes this post

Surebackup is awesome! Been using it for years and it has many uses.

However it would be useful to be able to open the surebackup job and start a single VM from a previous surebackup job.

So usually if required its possible to open Surebackup and start a single VM from the previous job. Today I had to start a single VM from a surebackup job completed 7 days ago. To avoid having to start the entire job again for 25 servers (when only requiring 1x VM) i had to instead do a instant VM recovery to a different datastore with a different VM name, leave the NIC disconnected, Create unique BIOS UUID to be able to start the server and run an application to export some data.

It would be really useful if like with a standard backup job once selected its possible to use the left and right cursor keys to select previous jobs. Then instead of using the Start To... function could start a single VM from a historical Surebackup job.

Many thanks for an awesome product.

Hi Justin,

Your feedback is highly appreciated! What about to create a separate SureBackup job and to add a VM in the dedicated application group? Then you can use "Start To" option to start a VM from a specific point in time.

Thanks!
