Synthetic full backup

Option to allow synthetic full backups which combines a base full image and incrementals to create new base full image. This option is enabled on the Schedule Volumes page and greatly reduces network bandwidth for performing local ‘full’ and for offsite replication.

64 Bit Support

Adds support for installing backup clients on Server 2008 and all Windows 64bit operating systems.

Offsite Status

Offsite status now reports files moved offsite, files remaining to be moved offsite and byte

Offsite Performance

In conjunction with synthetic volume backup, offsite will have significantly lower bandwidth requirements by moving only incrementals.

Offsite Ports

Offsite server ports are now restricted to between 1024 and 49151.

Restart Icons

Restart icons have been added to the Local Server and Offsite Server pages to quickly restart their respective services on a local server or offsite server.

Retry for Image Verify

Retry for data reads with image verify greatly reduces verify failures due to network latency.

Restore- Virtual Disk Conversion

Option to convert .tib files to VMWare VMDK and/or Microsoft VHD format allows for Physical to Virtual conversion or recovery to virtual machine.

Image Encryption

Additional security on disk images is provided via image encryption. This option on the Image Password page provides aes128, aes192 or aes256 encryption.

VSS Support

Improved integration with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service for reliable backup of active servers.

Universal Restore

Provides a range of ISO build versions for reliable restores on a broader range of hardware configurations.

Dynamic Disk

Backup and recover dynamic volumes including recovery of dynamic volumes to basic volumes.

Backup client update

Customers are not required to install the new BU-DR client to keep using backup. BU-DR will work with a mix of BU-DR client versions 9.1 and 9.5 (the new client version). However, in order for the endpoint to take advantage of the new features including encryption, synthetic backup and image conversion, the endpoint must be updated to the new version of the BU-DR client software.

Agent Update

Customers need to update the Kaseya agent to 5.1.0.1 to cancel a backup with the new 9.5 client. Kaseya recommends deploying the new agent to all systems that have the new backup client software. Use the "Force update even if agent is at…" option to force the agent to update to 5.1.0.1.
