unable to edit recovery plan
Why can't one edit recovery plans in ABPC?

I created a recovery plan and later decided to recover a few more files from the same location. So I was thinking I should be able to edit the plan, change my selections (files) for recovery and run it. Saving the time of creating another plan, and again specifying the source, destination, and recovery options. Running on a local workstation connected to the agent.

To answer to Fedor Larin, the "Edit" link is greyed :D

It was disabled because making it done properly required additional implement, and was possible only for file recovery.
Disk recovery tasks do not contain all required information that would have allowed editing them properly. For file recovery it could be done, but it was decided not to.

Thanks for the explanation. They should reconsider enabling for file recovery. But, I can understand that the existing code structure might make that more difficult than it might seem. Wouldn't be so bad if I could 'clone' a previous recovery job. Maybe I can't do that for the same reason you gave for edit? If so, then like 'clone', 'edit' should not even be displayed if a recovery task is selected.
It's only a pain if you find yourself needing to do many file recoveries. The workaround for that will now be to restore everything to an external drive and then pick what I need.
