New features in v3.8
Disk
Image Backup from BDR Server
Disk Image Backups can now be configured and
managed via Vembu BDR Server. Relying on proxy agents is no longer required,
unless it’s a distributed deployment which require individual proxy agent
installation.
FLR
from GUI (Backup & Replication)
File Level Recovery(FLR) is now available for
both backup and replication jobs where
user can choose specific files and folders from VMware/Hyper-V/Disk Image
backups and VMware replication, to be restored in a quick fashion.
Seed
load backup data to OffsiteDR
Storing copy of backup data for DR
requirements is now an easy task to be accomplished by seed loading backup
server data to desired offsite data center. This save loads of time and
bandwidth from being consumed.
Auto
Authorization
Enabling Auto authorization in Vembu BDR
allows proxy agents to get registered to backup server using unique
registration key generated by respective BDR server.
Encryption
Settings
Users can now provide additional security to
their disk based backup jobs by assigning custom-password to backup server,
such that all their backup data will be encrypted and can be restored/accessed
only by providing the custom-password.
Storage
Pooling
Storage Pools are used to aggregate the space
available from different volumes and utilise them as a storage for specific
backups. The hybrid volume manager of Vembu BDR Server supports scalable and
extendable backup storage for different storage media such as Local drives,
NAS(NFS and CIFS) and SAN(iSCSI and FC). Vembu BDR provides storage pooling
option for both backup level and group level.

as .msi format also.The installer
will check for the following packages based on the OS types (32 bit or 64 bit)
and it will install the following (if not installed previously),

Enable
or Disable retention for VMBackup / ImageBackup
User can enable or disable retention policy
for the backups based on their requirements.
Disabling retention allows user to maintain
all the backups without any merging of the incremental timestamps. This option
is used when the backup size is low.
Disk
level download option for VMware & Hyper-V plugins
Users can download backup data in multiple
disk file formats such as: VHD, VMDK, VHDX, VMDK-Flat and RAW.
Similarly, if user need to download individual
disks in a virtual machine, he can perform disk level download by selecting the
disks.
From a group of virtual machines in a host
backup, multiple disks can be downloaded with same disk file format.
Disk
Management Mount(Hyper-V)
This option lets you instantly attach backup data to disk management
as a VHD/VHDX file and proceed with the restore process. The VHD/VHDX file is
created by virtually mounting the backup data on the vembu virtual drive. Users
can access backup data via disks attached on disk management.
Once done with requirement, unmount backup data. This will resume
backup job, so that incrementals will run as scheduled.
List
VMs in an alphabetical order
Virtual Machines that are present in the host
will be listed in an alphabetical order based on the ASCII table values,
thereby making it simpler for the user to search and configure the backup. In
the Review Configuration page, the Virtual machines that are chosen for backup
is listed in the selected order.
Note: Virtual Machines will be listed in the following hierarchical order
<special characters>, <numeric characters>, <Uppercase
letters>, <lowercase letters>.
Search
option for VMs in backup config page & restore list page
This option allows user to search the Virtual
machines that are available in the ESXi host. Also, the user can search VMs/
host/cluster from a vCenter server. By specifying the required VM name in the
search option you can select the VMs that are to be backed up from a ESXi
host/vCenter Server.
VM
level reports in OffsiteDR Server
This page lists all replicated jobs configured
from backup server to the offsite server where you can see a report option
alongside every replicated job
New
menu for consolidated VM level report in BackupServer & OffsiteDR
