I like vSphere Data Protection. It does what it's supposed to do and it's been reliable when I need it. Thank You VMware - BUT THE REPORTING\MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES NEED AN UPDATE!!! COME ON
Biggest BABA BOOEY'S
* In a situation where you have multiple VDP appliances, it's difficult to manage each one individually. There needs to be a central way to manage all the appliances in a single window rather than having to hop through appliance web interfaces...more of a drill down menu would be nice. I understand the VDP appliances are not aware of each other...perhaps they should be? Ooops...I'm backing up a vm twice on different appliance..tell me that.
* There needs to be a quick and easy way to identify which appliance is backing up a vm. See ooopps note above.
* Reporting - Give me the ability to see a report of VM's I'm not actually backing up at all.
When I'm viewing an appliance and click on reports...don't show me all vm's, just show me the vm's I'm backing up with that appliance. OR - Show them all, but append to the job name the VDP appliance that is backing the vm up.
*No PowerCLI support? - Give us that..just because.
thanks in advance. I can't wait to see these new features. ; )
