RESOLUTION

 

10.2
Backup
  • Snapshots may be left behind in the Storage Repository when disks are excluded from Xenserver backups

  • Backups of aliased Windows assets may fail
Cold Backup Copy / Archiving 
  • Cold copies imported to version 10.1 appliances may not be recoverable
  • Misleading error messages may result from successful cold backup copy imports from tape archives
  • Cold copy imports from tape may fail following upgrade to 10.1
  • eSATA disks formatted by the appliance after attachment as backup copy targets may appear to still contain data
  • Attempts at formatting tape devices for use as backup copy targets may fail
  • Error messages may incorrectly identify disconnections as the cause of cold copy failures

Disaster Recovery
  • Backup copies may not be recoverable from the new appliance following disaster recovery
Recovery / Restore
  • Large numbers of sub-directories may cause errors when attempting file level recovery
  • Recovery may fail for backups of Hyper-V VMs on SMB

  •  Recover page on manager appliances could be slow to load
  • Backup Copy Hot Targets reports were sent even though hot backup copy was not configured
  • Slow loading of the inventory during the backup job creation process could cause a variety of issues related to backup and retention
  • Minor UI issues resolved in version 10.1.1-3
