Request for Possible improvement in SP4VE GUI

In the GUI via WEB of SP4VE, when you access to perform a restore, the different datastorages appear where each machine that we have in backup to be able to do restores is located inside.

The problem is that there is no search engine to search for that machine that we want to restore, but rather we have to go through each datastore looking for the name of the server, this task when we have few servers is easy, but if we have a list of 500 servers or more , it can become a very hard task.

The search for a server to restore must be done manually, it would be better to have a search engine to make this task more comfortable for administrators

    We understand that the view from the original SP/VE client forced the user to know which host or datastore the vm lived on so that they could search for a protected vm ... but, when using the VMware vSphere Client Spectrum Protect for VE Plugin GUI, any native view of existing VMs with the native search and filter can be used to select VM for restore. VMs that have been deleted can be found at the Datacenter level.

    Interesting
    At spictera we had always strived to be open and flexible to adopt new techniques and tools, that meets the requirements.
    For example using Proxmox KVM as a hypervisor so that one can browse the VM guest backups available by using normal OS commands (such as ls, dir ..) to browse the backups stored on the IBM Spectrum Protect backup server.
