We are proud to announce the release of Backup for Linux v 2.9.0.112 today.


New features

- Pre-Backup and Post-Backup Script Execution

This is a way to run a custom script right before/after the backup plan execution.
Functions the same way as in Backup for Windows - specify the script file(s) and go.
Supported in CLI, GUI, WebUI.

NOTE: this functionality is not available for PRO and Server editions of standalone Backup for Linux

Popular use cases:

- Mount/unmount network shares before/after backup - KB link.
- MySQL automated backup - KB link.


- Improvements and Additions to Backup Filters

"Skip folders" filter has been added in the Backup plan wizard,
"Skip files" and "Include files" filters have been improved.

4 types of filters are now supported:
<string>*abcd</string>
<string>My*</string>
<string>*My*</string>
<string>My</string>


- Built-in Updates Check for standalone Backup

From now on, this is the recommended way to install updates in CloudBerry Backup.

Supported in CLI, GUI, WebUI

Managed Backup has had a similar feature implemented for long time - although there it is managed centrally, not in the client app.


- Support for S3 Intelligent Tiering, Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive in Managed Backup client

First of all, this should be enabled (and may be configured) in Downloads > Advanced Rebranding


Storage Class usage may further be set up in Remote Deploy (edit a configuration here) and Remote Management (edit a backup plan here).



Bugs fixed

- Various UI hanging issues

- Various inconsistencies of the scheduler work

- The Backup service is now correctly restarted (when required) on all platforms

- Files that should be purged due to Retention Policy right after upload are no longer backed up



UX improvements

- Plan info screen in WebUI has been unified with that in GUI

- Multiple bad error text improvements

- Tooltips for different Azure Access Tiers have been added - same as S3 Storage Classes tooltips.
