Hello,
We are excited to announce that the latest version of Portworx Backup 2.9.0 is now Generally Available.
The latest version of PX Backup has the following new features and host of improvements.
Features:
Retry backups at VM level: you can now retry only failed VMs in VM backups without reprocessing successful ones, reducing load on backup server. This feature helps maintain efficient backup operations, provides granular control on VM backups and ensures better adherence to RPO targets.
PXB deployment on proxy-enabled clusters: you can deploy PXB in proxy-enabled Kubernetes cluster (PXB cluster) environments across all supported platforms, except IKS. It supports proxy configuration through Helm parameters or Kubernetes secrets, including setups requiring authentication and custom CA certificates to ensure secure and compliant communication.
Bulk operations for schedules: you can now suspend, resume, or delete multiple backup schedules in bulk, simplifying backup management across large environments. In addition, you can filter schedules by their names, schedule policies, or a combination of both to precisely target the desired schedules.
Back up volume resources: you can now back up only the Kubernetes PersistentVolume (PV) and PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) specifications without including the actual volume data. This helps to optimize backup jobs by reducing data footprint, improving performance, and avoiding redundancy when the volume data is protected through other mechanisms like external snapshots or NFS backups.
