Good afternoon! We copy a lot of virtual machines from PVE, it is very inconvenient to search for the desired machine in the list, since there is no name next to the identifier.
I want to see 2 things:
1) The name of the VM next to the identifier in the "Content" section;

2) Search by comments, which will simplify the search for the desired copies with large numbers of copies.

Is it possible?

the name could be different across different backups contained in the group ;) And PBS doesn't currently parse the configuration files from VM backups, so it doesn't know the name.

What we could do is take over the comment that's passed along for the first backup in the group when the group is created. Or show the comment of the latest backup in the group if no explicit comment is set on the group-level.

2) Search by comments, which will simplify the search for the desired copies with large numbers of copies.

Is it possible?

Anyways, feel free to open an enhancement request on our bugtracker for these, mentioning this forum thread.
