Make interface model object oriented


Recommended Posts

If I could change Retrospect it be it's basic interface model.

 

Currently, I regularly create scripts and then choose clients, volumes, selectors, and destination set for that script.

 

That is, I create a script-object and then it's attributes. No! I don't like this.

 

In my opinion, Retrospect would be more better if I could create client-objects, instead of script-objects.

 

That is, I'd add a client, select it's volumes, and have the option to add a selector to each volume.

 

Now you've got a client-object to drag n' drop into groups and scheduling scripts.

 

What about backup sets? One option is for Retrospect to create a backup set for me, and name it after the client. I could choose it's destination, size-limit, grooming policy, etc. by applying a class to it. See that?

 

Sure, there are many details to figure for this schema, especially media issues.

 

But, really, the client-object model is the user-model. Usability :)

 

I bet Retrospect would require less user-support than it does currently.

 

Good Luck!
