  - Mailbox protection that enables the In-Place Hold or Litigation Hold features
Data Distribution on media report: Arcserve UDP Data Distribution on media report displays the compressed and actual (raw) backup data size at various storage locations. Drill-down the report to view detailed information about Agent disk, deduplication, and non-deduplication categories.
Backup from UNC paths/Network shares: Arcserve UDP enhancements for Backup from UNC paths/Network shares are listed as follows:
- Added the Synchronize file/folder with backup source option in UI to control the deletion of file from current backup session when the source has already deleted the related file to perform incremental backup job.
- Wildcards ? and * are supported for file/folder filer with exclusions when you perform backup job.
Agentless Backup enhancements:
- Automatic protection of newly added VMs in VMs and Templates view: In VMs and templates view, protect a single container object in the vSphere hierarchy. As a result, new VMs added into the container object are protected automatically.
- Automatic protection of newly added VMs by tag: Specify a tag for the agentless backup plan and the VMs assigned with that tag are protected automatically.
- Support for SMB 3.0 Shares (SOFS): Agentless backup partially supports Hyper-V VM on SMB 3.0 share. For Hyper-V 2012 or higher version, you can store the VM files in SMB 3.0 file shares. Now, Arcserve UDP agentless backup protects such VM files with the following limitations:
  - For Hyper-V 2012 and 2012 R2, only full backup is supported.
  - For Hyper-V 2016, full and incremental backups are supported.
- Integration with Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) of Hyper-V 2016: Agentless Backup is fully integrated with Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) of Hyper-V 2016.
- Agentless Backup supports vSphere 6.5, including the encrypted VM.
Copy Recovery Point (CRP) enhancement: Arcserve UDP supports Microsoft Azure Cloud for CRP. Now, you can configure CRP destination as Microsoft Azure to copy recovery point sessions using the flexible schedule mechanism.
File Copy enhancement: Arcserve UDP supports Fujitsu Cloud services K5 for file copy and file archive features. You can configure File Copy and File Archive copy destination as Fujitsu Cloud Services K5 to save files and folders.
New Azure SDK Support for File Copy and CRP: CRP and File Copy support:
- Creating Containers in Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and Classic
- General Purpose and Blob Storage types in Resource manager
- Cool Storage and Hot storage access tiers in Blob Storage
New Amazon AWS S3 SDK support for File Copy and CRP: File Copy and CRP support all the storage regions supported by Amazon.
Integration of Arcserve UDP 6.5 with Active Directory: The existing feature of Role Based Administration (UDP-RBA) is improved to allow management of Arcserve UDP permissions based on Active Directory groups. You can use the Active Directory groups as RBA roles.
Note: Individual Active Directory accounts were supported in the previous versions of Arcserve UDP.
Assured Recovery enhancement:
- You can launch the Assured Recovery Test job manually from nodes view and plans view, both.
  - In nodes view: You can select a node and manually launch Assured Recovery Test job to the specific recovery point.
  - In plans view: You can select a plan and manually launch Assured Recovery Test job for all protected nodes in the plan and recovery points in the specified time.
- You can add Assured Recovery task for Office 365 Exchange Online node.
Network Throttle configuration: You can configure the network throttle schedules for Windows Agent based backup when the backup destination is a deduplication data store.
Data threshold alert: You can add the data store space capacity monitor mechanism to the data store and configure your email for the email alerts. When the data store is approaching the full capacity, an email alert is sent automatically. The status of running data stores is changed to restore only that prevents the new backup/replication jobs from performing backup of the new backup data.

Note: For the data threshold alert, configuring the activity log is not necessary.

Improved the performance of Hardware Snapshot: Rescan of Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and refresh of host storage system tasks run only on the specific ESXi that has the source VM running.
