The following enhancements or features have been added to Arcserve UDP for this update:

• Arcserve has introduced a new Arcserve UDP 7000 series appliance

  Each Arcserve UDP 7000 series appliance is a self-contained, "set and forget" backup and recovery solution. The Arcserve UDP 7000 series appliance is fully integrated with the industry-leading Arcserve UDP software pre-installed in state-of-the-art hardware. Architected with cloud-native capabilities, its unmatched ease of deployment and usability combine with a broad set of features such as global source-based deduplication, multi-site replication, tape support, and automated data recovery capabilities. The Arcserve UDP 7000 series delivers unmatched operational agility and efficiency, and truly simplifies disaster recovery activities.

• Arcserve UDP Console dashboard tab

  The dashboard tab lets you view a graphical representation of the Raw Data size, Actual Data Storage, and the Restorable Data size for the last seven days, as well as the Last Backup Status.

• Arcserve UDP Console jobs tab

  This is the old dashboard tab in the previous release. It displays the status of the jobs for a specific period. You can apply filters to categorize the results or you can group the jobs by plan.

• Added the following options on the resource tab of a plan for an agentless host-based backup plan:
  • VMware Snapshot Quiescing Method - allows you to use an alternative quiescing method during the backup for a VMware VM.
  • Hyper-V Snapshot Method – allows you to select the snapshot method when an application consistent snapshot for a Hyper-V VM cannot be taken.
  • Hyper-V Snapshot Separation – Resolves a known issue from the previous release that “the virtual machine stays in the “Backing up” status although the agentless host-based backup job of this virtual machine has already finished.
• Added the following options on the schedule tab of a plan for an agentless host-based backup plan:
  • Recovery Point Check – allows you to mount the volumes from a recovery point and verify the data consistency by running the Microsoft tool CHKDSK at the end of the backup job.
• Test Fixes installed. For more information, see Issues Fixed in the Release Notes.
