We just upgraded to DP8.1 and find the use of ID's UUID's GUID's whatever they are for object place holders a sorry replacement for simple datacenter->resource pool->VM name identifiers.
I also do not trust the reporting. Upon closer examination I realized to my chagrin that actually only 4 VM backups succeeded.

We also have to go through serious kung fu to get a Linux install to succeed. I have used DP since version 6, I was hoping for more.
Any other adopters out there. Can I get my user friendly object names back?
