Restore of VM with DP for VMware could be enhanced

This is feedback from a customer using the product, customer name are availble upon content with us but it is a Swedish government agency. Customer are on 7.1.1.300 level.

The restore process of a VM with DP for VMware could be enhanced. During restore today, the user need to browse through ESX servers etc to find the VM which needs to be restored. This makes really no sense.

During a restore the user a interested in fast finding the VM and to do the restore from there. Our customer would opt to add a search button for VMs or maybe display a list all VMs in alphabetic order (I do agree that I would be a long list for large sites so that would need to be addressed).

    This is delivered with the vSphere Web Client extension. Using the vSphere Web Client extension that Spectrum Protect for VE has, you can use the VMware interface to search, find, and restore a VM.
