User Story: I now have my first backups on tape (which works great). Included are some orphaned VMs, which are archived and will be probably only on one tape. I know their name/comment, but no longer their VM ID.

When looking through the "content" tab of "tape backup", it doesn't seem there is a column like the "comment" colum in the datastore tabs. I can seee only the VM/CT numbers, which makes restoring without knowing the correct ID difficult. Copying the comment column would be great.

It would be even more great, if there was a "search" box where you could search for comments and the corresponding backups would be displayed.
 
hi,

feature requests are best opened here: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com

we maybe can put the comment in there, but i'm not sure if that can be done as a 'backwards' compatible change or if we have to change the on tape format
a search would imho only then make sense

anyway, no promises if we do this, but you can open a feature request and then we can look/discuss there
