Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
