Storware vProtect 3.9 Software Update 2 Data Protection for VMs, Containers and Cloud Environments

vProtect is a data protection platform with competitive functionalities, and HTML5 Web Interface.

V3.9 update 2 introduces compelling changes, including:

CentOS/RHEL 8 support for vProtect deployments.
For OpenStack and OpenShift environments using Ceph storage both full, and incremental backups are supported. OpenShift backups allow also to perform pre/post export remote command execution on the deployment (which are useful to trigger i.e. DB quiesce/resume operations).
The user interface is improved with restore history (both on a single VM/app level as well as in recovery plan details view). All restore jobs are also now reported in e-mail and you can browse them from the dashboard.
Installation playbooks now also allow administrators to specify alternative MariaDB repository location and version. Administrators are now also able to allocate licenses to individual hypervisors.

Detailed changes:

Restore history in reporting (dashboard and report mail)
Restore history in Recovery Plans
OpenStack – disk attachment with Ceph-based deployments – incremental backups (technical preview)
OpenShift – Ceph-backed PVs support – full and incremental backups with RBD-NBD (technical preview)
OpenShift – pre/post export remote command execution
CentOS/RHEL 8 support
Ansible-based installation with option to customize MariaDB source, version and distribution
License allocation to individual hypervisors
vProtect server security updates in API and UI layers
MariaDB 10.4 in new deployments
