Spectrum Protect for VE - Hyper-V, Change default restore location in MMC

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environment - Hyper-V v8.1.8 on Hyper-V 2016:

Is it possible to change the default restore location inside the MMC GUI when doing a Virtual Maschine Restore? If yes, how?

Right now the default location (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines) points to a directory
on the local hard drive of the hyper-v server and a user has to manually enter a new directory name.

You can't predefine a proper path and currently there is no memory check as a pre-restore-task to find this problem and inform enduser.
As a result you wait in worst case 1 day for a recovery error message because of missing progress bar and some other empty information fields in the gui caused by memory allocation errors (which are not shown in the GUI).
This design feature should been normally present in the very first version of the product and not be an issue for Version 8!
Please keep this in mind.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
