New features in VSA (v4.6.3.0) - 21 August 2006

Maintenance

Fixed minor display related problems

Folder Backup

Fixed Acronis bug in the folder backup system.

VSS Support

Volume Shadow Copy Service is now automatically used on systems that have VSS enabled on a drive being backed up. The checkbox to enable/disable VSS support has been removed since it is fully automatic now.

Backup Image Size

Collect backup image size after each backup. Backup Status, Logs, and Reports all now list image size.

Backup Post Script

The Pre/Post Script function under the Backup tab runs a script before or after backup completes. You can now conditionally run the post script depending on the status of the backup that completed.

Backup Schedule

You can now disable incremental/differential backups and only run full backups, by entering a zero for the incremental backup period.

Patch Approval

The "Filter patches by Approval Status" dropdown list will now retain the last selected approval status between page refreshes.  For example, this will permit the selection of all "Pending Approval" patches and mark some as approved and some as denied without having to re-select the "Pending Approval" status after applying the approval.

System Tab Web Pages

Improved performance of web pages under the system tab. Some these pages took an long time to render on systems with a large number of machine groups and a large number of administrators. These pages now response considerably faster.

Monitor - Edit

Changed 'alarm duration' logic. The system will now look back in the log table to see if there any records that were under the alarm threshold. If there are none, instead of going into 'alarm' (old behavior), it will continue to look to the next oldest log value. If that value is over the alarm threshold, the system will only then go into 'alarm'.

Monitor - Reports

Added trending reports with 'number of days' filter and comparison features.

Monitor - Copy Settings

'Copy Settings' will now include monitor sets.

Monitor - General

When a SNMP Community reference is removed, all related SNMP Agents will be removed also.

Monitor - Edit

When a monitor set is edited, the logs will not be reset unless the counter, service or process specific information is changed.

Monitor - Logs

Logs now have icons that indicate that there are log entries for the corresponding monitor item..

Monitor - Logs

Added 'character match' filters to log tables. Allowing for searches of the log table entries (i.e. " ... show all service log entries like 'stop'")

Monitor - Logs

Added 'day range' filter to counter graphs (similar to SNMP logs).
