Point 2 would work well for me.
 
I have other problems with 6.5, so will go and review this link

Thanks for pointing out that issue.

If you have ideas like that for things you want  fixed or enhanced in NetBackup the Symantec Ideas portal is a great place to post them. Not only do they get considered by product management, but your peers get a chance to vote on the submitted ideas which helps us understand how important they are.


As a general principle I have suggested the following as a guide for our future user interfaces when it comes to having to pick one item from a potentially long list like a client list.

1. Long lists should be sorted and filtered.
2. Input boxes should support type-a-head where the user starts entering the host name and a drop down appears with the matching hosts.

thanks,

Jorge !
That was my email :-))
I found the same technote, but when you close down and restart, the same problem appears !

I was told it was a "feature", so I have not delved into it too much.

It is a small annoyance, but it never happened in 5.1!

When I get time, I will try to review this again !

Regards
Simon

Hello everyone,

As I was just to finish my email to the list:
-----------------------------------------------------------
On the "Backup, Archive, and Restore" utility...when you go to File and select "Specify Netbackup Machines and Policy Type"...  The two list boxes there "Source client for restore" and "Destination client to restore".  Is there a way to alphabetically sort the clients there?
-----------------------------------------------------------

...I decided to the right thing first:  do a google search first :)   Well I
finally found this note:

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287436.htm

It works indeed but the problem is,  as you use the list again and again, it gets disorganized once again.  Is there a way around this?  or is there a good reason for what appears to be poor usability?

Thanks!
Jorge
