Trilio Restore: Multi-Step Process

When restoring a Trilio Snapshot, a user is presented with One-Click, In-Place and Selective. This currently appears to not be implemented yet, but options are listed. Suggest removing the optional process (selective and in-place) until multi-step process integrated - leaving only One Click Restore. An additional step could be included to warn a user if the VMs exist in a backup set, that the One-Click restore will not work - One-Click is used to recover VMs that do not exist. You could always perform a selective restore instead, and enhance the user-journey to add more flexibility that Trilio’s own Horizon experience doesn’t yet have. One-Click restore takes defaults and is good for the immediate next action of restore. In-Place should prompt a user to select which volumes/disks to recover Selective restore allows the alteration of details, so requires another input screen where a user can restore individual VMs out of a group (say 1 or 2 out of 5), allows change of name, AZ, resize flavour, Re-IP, restore network, etc.

Trilio Snapshot Restore user journey: needs clarity of what you're restoring

Many users will just create backups with defaults. This creates backups (known and listed currently as Snapshots in Trilio) with the name β€œSnapshot”. When a user selects a snapshot to restore, the UI prioritises a lot of information that is largely irrelevant to the immediate action of perform the restore. User follows this journey: 1. Select Workload Select the snapshot from that workload UI changes to the Snapshot tab and prioritises a lot of information over the main possible action: restore. Even Delete is a tempting large option to do here. It should list the VMs this Snapshot is related to and will restore (along with the Workload name) Suggest making Restore and Mount clearer, prioritised actions. Delete should be a smaller detail. The information about the backup could be much smaller in UI real estate. The example below shows a default backup taken, I clicked on one of the Workloads, clicked on the Snapshot, and now I’m left wondering if I’ve selected the correct one. Without listing the VMs and the Workload it came from, it isn’t clear the action I should take.
