  • Added a new log message to backups that indicates that all pre-job steps are complete and backup work has begun

  • Significantly improved the performance of measuring Storage Vault sizes before a backup job starts

  • Improved the performance of evaluating the "if the last job was missed" schedule option

  • Improved performance for granular restoration of NTFS filesystems with complex or deep directory structures

  • Improved the performance of retention passes by using cached information to estimate the size of data that is in a Storage Vault

  • Improved Hyper-V Latest VM State (Changed Block Tracking) to respect the user's configured Hyper-V checkpoint settings on a per-VM basis instead of always attempting to take Production checkpoints

  • Improved the clarity of error messages when data packs are missing from a Storage Vault

  • Improved the clarity of error messages when Magnus Box fails to optimize an existing snapshot during a retention pass

  • Improved the performance of backup jobs that do not take a filesystem snapshot

  • Improved retry behavior for S3 API requests that fail due to "unexpected EOF" errors

  • Updated Spanish translation

  • Updated the MySQL Protected Item to prefer mariadb-dump over mysqldump on Linux devices

  • Updated Microsoft 365 account listing to append "Disabled" attribute to user mailboxes for later informed inclusion at the UI level

  • Allowed retention passes to safely continue with a warning if Magnus Box is unable to clean up deleted tombstoned file versions from an S3-compatible target


Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with the Syncro integration, preventing backup job warnings and errors from being raised as an RMM Alert

  • Fixed an issue for Hyper-V Protected Items that caused the error message "Incorrect Function" to occur when backing up guest VMs

  • Fixed an issue for Microsoft 365 Protected Items that caused the error message "invalid character 'S' looking for beginning of value" to be returned during the listing of accounts

  • Fixed an issue with Hyper-V Changed Block Tracking falling back to full scans

  • Fixed an issue where deleted files in a versioned S3 bucket would get undeleted if errors occurred when listing files during a retention pass

  • Fixed an issue causing Magnus Box to crash when a missed backup job is generated from devices with unrecognized timezones

  • Fixed an issue causing Magnus Box to crash when attempting to download a DSM 6/7 client installer when Magnus Box was installed using the Linux (other) installer

  • Fixed an issue where some NTFS volumes could not be recognized as NTFS partitions, leading to browsing failure at the time of restore

  • Fixed an issue with retention passes on Storage Vaults without Object Lock showing Object Lock specific errors instead of the real retention pass error

  • Fixed a Microsoft 365 listing issue where default permissions were receiving 403s from retrieving Site information

  • Fixed an issue where Magnus Box would not retry when cleaning up deleted tombstoned file versions from an S3-compatible target causing the job to fail

  • Fixed an issue where granular restores are unable to open VMDKs from vSAN and snapshot extents for VMWare Protected Items

  • Fixed an error in Microsoft 365 account listing caused when a personal site is missing an associated user

  • Fixed an issue with backups being triggered on client upgrade when the new user profile's LastStartTime had not yet been set

  • Fixed an issue with Windows Server 2008 fallback upgrades where the upgrade fails due to support for TLS 1.2 being dropped
