NBU 7.6.0.3

in the NBU activity monitor, you will see a backup policy starting and spawning several child processes. that is fine if there are only a single policy running. but if there are multiple instances of the same policy running and you want to cancel those child processes related to the failed parent process, how do i find out which?

Even in 7.6, there is a column wayyyyy to the right labelled "Parent Job ID" - you should be able to filter for it and only show the children of that job.

 

You may have to rightclick and use "Column Layout" to show that column, if someone has hidden it...

Hello,

 

starting from NBU 7.6.1, you can see these dependencies in Activity Monitor. There is a "View Job Hierarchy" menu option/right-click mouse.
