Another Feature Request: Renaming

[jnieuw]

Another feature request for renaming Backups and ISO's from the GUI.
That way you can keep some backups more easily without using SSH login or rename strangly named ISO's to more convenient ones.
(I know this can be done before uploading, but sometimes things already uploaded need renaming).

For ISOs this could be OK, I mean, all VMs using the old name won't start and scanning all VMs cluster-wide for such usage and renaming them is something which would be nice to avoid.

Backup names have a strict schema, we want to allow to add a separate description field, which allows to annote that them, this could be enough for most.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for looking into this, the "problem" with backups is that when you let the backup keep three versions, the oldest will always be deleted.
If I want to keep one, I will have to rename it, changing a description won't help as the backup will still automaticly delete it.
Or maybe a "keep this backup" switch?

Ah, OK, that's your actual reason.

Yes, something like this sound reasonable to me, can you please open a feature request for that specific enhancement request at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ that'd be great!
