Storware vProtect 4.2 NOVA released
Time to speed up! Take advantage of forever-incremental backups and much faster restores. Meet security requirements and make life easier for backup administrators with Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
What new features will you get with Storware vProtect 4.2?
A brand new vProtect 4.2 release adds a synthetic backup provider based on XFS which allows forever-incremental backups and significantly faster restores. This release also introduces RBAC system-level roles to give administrators more control over vProtect security. User groups and roles enable administrators to specify which actions and views are accessible to users, either by using built-in roles or defining their own.
For oVirt/Red Hat Virtualization/Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager distributions two transfer optimizations have been added: BZIP2 compression when using SSH Transfer and direct transfers to/from hypervisors in Disk Image Transfer strategy. Both should result in even faster backups. Additionally, for these environments, vProtect received the option to easily configure metadata DB backups directly from the hypervisor manager’s section.
Version 4.2 adds snapshot-management for Ceph RBD Storage Provider and SMB support for Nutanix Files. Finally, the management interface received additional notifications related to VDO space occupancy, transfer rate charts, inventory synchronization statuses.
Check the documentation for all functionalities and see what the software architecture for version 4.2 looks like.
