It is also required to meet the Vendor specified supported builds matrix. Changelog: Fixed issues Fixed issues on version 7.7 .2 are below • [ABR-182614] If an Agent for VMware or Agent for Hyper-V executes more than one backup plan, and these plans are scheduled to start at the same time, then they are started with an unexpected 2-3 minutes delay (only 1 plan starts exactly as scheduled). • [ABR-181421] Unsuccessful network share mounts on Linux machines may produce garbage files in the /tmp directory which are not cleaned up automatically. • [ABR-181405] In some cases, service_process.exe crashes when performing an application-aware backup of a Windows Server 2003 machine running Microsoft SQL Server 2005. • [ABR-179131] Backup to the cloud storage may complete with the "Assertion failed: CurrentUnit->GetSize()..." warning. • [ABR-177723] If a backup is exported/replicated to another location, then the retention rules that are applied to this exported/replicated backup do not perform the data clean up properly, thus leaving orphaned backup chains. As a result, the backup size in the original and the secondary backup locations differs significantly, even though both backups contain the same set of recovery points. • [ABR-177717] Memory leak in mms.exe process on machine with 512MB of RAM when the backups are performed every 30 minutes or more often. • [ABR-176719] The managed-machine service ("mms") crashes in Linux during a backup to the cloud storage through a configured proxy connection if the proxy server becomes unavailable. • [ABR-175989] Backup to an SMB share with the Version 12 backup format does not properly fail and hangs instead if there is no free space left on the share. • [ABR-173584] An error about failure of the cloud-to-cloud agent deployment is not shown in the backup console if this deployment has been initiated by a user with insufficient permissions. • [ABR-175517, ABR-175518] Devices are not shown in the backup console if they are loading for more than two minutes. • [ABR-181924] An incomplete warning is shown if a user tries to delete a backup plan that has the Physical Data Shipping option enabled. • [ABR-162583] A backup may not start after clicking Run now Known issues This section describes issues that are currently known and provides solutions to avoid the issues where possible.

No data available for the specified period" error is shown when the user selects report that can be received. • [ABR-133312] User still can be created via UI when the File Sync & Share users quota is exceeded. • [ABR-137537] Turning off administrator role for a user does not turn off all notification settings.

Description

Hot-fix and patch installation REASON FOR CHANGE Maintenance is required in order to enable new features and applications and enhance the overall operational experience of the RecoveryVault Enterprise platform. It is also required to meet the Vendor specified supported builds matrix. Details: Asigra Upgrade to version 14.1 1. Upgrade DS-NOC. 2. Upgrade DS-License Server. 3. Upgrade DS-System, DS-Billing, and BLM Archiver in any order if they are not part of a replication group. If they are part of a replication group, upgrade all members of the group at the same time. 4. Upgrade DS-Clients as required. The DS-Client auto-upgrade feature automatically upgrades the DS-Client plug-ins for Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365, and Salesforce. If you need to install the plug-ins after you have upgraded the DS Client, you must manually install the plug-ins. 5. Upgrade other Asigra Cloud Backup software components (DS Recovery Tools, Replication DS-System, Replication BLM Archiver, Local DS-VDR, or Remote DS-VDR) as required in any order. New Features New third-party software support The following third-party software required to convert physical machines to virtual machines is now supported:  VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2 New features and functionality This section describes the new features and functionality in this version of the product. DS-NOC Help The online Help for the DS-NOC application is now available as a modern HTML5 responsive cross-platform Help system that runs on any device in any environment and adapts to the traits of the device. To address the needs of our customers who require localized content, the online Help integrates directly with Google Translate so that users can easily translate the content into over 100 languages. DS-System database dump log When performing a backup of the DS-System database, an entry is now written to the logs if the process fails for any reason. Embedded PostgreSQL installation and upgrade (Windows DS-Client) By default, the Windows DS-Client is now installed with an embedded PostgreSQL database. When performing an automatic upgrade from a previous version of the Windows DS-Client, the existing Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL database will automatically be migrated to the embedded PostgreSQL database included with the Windows DS-Client installation. Users who want to retain their existing Microsoft SQL Server database must perform a manual upgrade. Important: Users must ensure they have enough disk space available on the DS-Client machine to accommodate the embedded PostgreSQL database. In addition the following advanced configuration parameter (Setup > Configuration > Advanced > Performance) has been added in DS-User:  DBSerializableRepeats – This parameter allows you to specify the number of times DS-Client will retry a PostgreSQL serializable transaction if it fails. This is useful if you encounter errors when performing multiple database-related activities simultaneously. You can enter a value between 0 and 20. The default is 10. Grid DS-Client installation (Windows DS-Client) Windows Grid DS-Client can now be installed and configured as part of the DS-Client installation process. An embedded PostgreSQL database will be automatically installed on the main node in the grid. Important: Users must ensure they have enough disk space available on the main node to accommodate the embedded PostgreSQL database and that the firewall will permit connections from the leaf nodes in the grid. CUSTOMER IMPACT Low IMPACT DESCRIPTION Maintenance has been scheduled for Saturday • RecoveryVault Enterprise control panel will be unavailable. • New backup sets cannot be provisioned. • All backup activities will be suspended.
