T00000196

Fixes a problem that when adding Linux node that has the same name as a Linux Backup Server in the Arcserve UDP Console, the Console displays the following message:

T00000198

Fixes a problem that the replication in the throttled state exceeds the throttle configuration.

T00000200

Fixes a problem that there are returns in exported activity log messages.

T00000201/T00000202

Fixes a problem that fail to modify plan with merge job schedule changed when there is any job running.

T00000203

Fixes a problem that the Copy Recovery Point task cannot be performed when the destination is RPS. This is because the two schedules conflict with the same job name and job group.

Fixes a problem that the RPS email cannot be sent with an authentication option because the password does not get decrypted.

Fixes a problem that browse nodes from a data store option does not display the node with same the node uuid because Arcserve UDP uses uuid to identify the node.

T00000207

Fixes a problem that the Hyper-V agentless backup fails because of exposing the VSS snapshot wait timeout.

T00000208

Fixes a problem that sometimes the catalog job or replication job does not start after an agentless backup job.

T00000225

Provide the command line options to query and manage the backend purge and disk reclamation.

T00000226

Fixes a problem that replication job may fail at rebuilding the disk index file for the second source disk if the merge job is paused at the first source disk.

T00000227

Fixes two performance optimizations for the scenario that multiple jobs concurrently run on the same data store. The first fix is to decrease the disk flush for adding the session lock at the beginning of every job. The second fix is to allow to configure for removing the disk access sync lock across jobs on the same data store.

T00000235

Fixes a problem that G2 VM boot settings are not restored in non-English Hyper-V hosts.

T00000236

Fixes a problem that the agentless retry job loses the retention flag.
