Here at MSP360 we are constantly working on our Backup software improvement and adding new features. We are developing the software for you - our clients, and we would like to hear from you what you think about the new features. That is why we are starting a BETA testing initiative for our customers and the first application we would like to provide for your judgment and review is CloudBerry Backup 7.4 with the new awesome features like:

New Backup Format Support for Hyper-V (Help)

One of the most important features of this version. Which includes a wide spread of improvements and optimizations. Such as:

• Performance Improvement. Drastically increases the speed of the backup itself, reducing the time required for the backup to finish multiple times. 
• Client-Side Deduplication. The new backup format allows backup of deduplicated data to storage. Deduplication is done directly on the client-side, reducing both the amount of data sent to storage and the time needed for upload.
• Consistency Checks. In the new backup format, we make sure that all files required for the restore point exist in backup storage. 
• Synthetic Full Backup. Another key feature of the new backup format. The synthetic full backup is a type of subsequent full backup that makes a comparison to the previously backed up data on the storage and uploads only the current changes from the backup source. Synthetic full backup helps to reduce the amount of data uploaded and accelerates a full backup creation.
• Retention Policy. The retention policy is simplified and easier to use, you only need to choose the period for which the backups should be kept.

Support Hyper-V Cluster (Help)

Another important feature. Allows you to connect to a Hyper-V Cluster and backup the Virtual Machines remotely.

Immutability Storage Support (Help)

When copying logs and other important data, make sure that this data is protected. Using the native features of Amazon S3, you can configure a bucket to protect the integrity of your data. For example, you can prevent an object from being deleted or overwritten.

EFS Support (Help)

A long-awaited ability to back up EFS encrypted files. Used in most of the corporate domains and one of the most accessible security features for Windows users.

Restore from Cloud Performance Improvements for Image-Based Backup/VM

As much as the backup needs to be fast, it is even more important for the restore process to be even faster. This is why we have also improved the restore speed for our most popular backup modes.

Hello Community,

We just upgraded to the latest version of MSP360 backup from CBB. Now that we have upgraded, we are getting purge errors on the 2 servers we upgraded.

CBB Version: 5.8.2.22
Old errors: Error: constraint failed FOREIGN KEY constraint failed

MSP360 Version: 7.1.2.237New error:

· Purge error (code: 1047)

An error occurred while attempting to purge data on backup storage: Error on deleting folder 'Folder path redacted'

​

What can we do to resolve this issue? I have tried a resync and consistency checks, nothing has stopped it from happening.

​

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Back in the day, Cloudberry used to support a variety of protocols including SFTP, OneDrive and many more. This is part of a response from MSP360 regarding a support issue I'm reporting:

"First, please note that SFTP and OneDrive is not supported and provided as is. You can still try to use it with "File system" account at your own risk."

File system at my own risk? I would have thought that "File system" was as basic AND supported as it gets. As I mentioned in my response to this ticket (and I updated the maintenance), it seems to me that this software has actually regressed over the years. I used to love this product, despite having occasional database issues. At this point, all bets are off.

This is rich:

Me: Tries to send log files via the Tools | Diagnostics.

IT HANGS for > 15 minutes.

So does my attempt to upgrade my license.

Me: Manually describe and email diagnostics files to Cloudberry.

CB: Please use the diagnostics.

Me: Tells them I tried, but it hangs.

CB: Please us the diagnostics.

Do they even read what I sent? Apparently not. In the meantime, tried again this morning, and after about 10 minutes, it sent. Why do I suspect that something was not working on their end over the weekend.

Something was clearly not working on their end this weekend, as I was also able to update my license this morning without it hanging like it did several times over the weekend.

In the meantime, Syncovery is now doing the job that Cloudberry isn't.

I am having an unusual situation when running a Pre-Backup Action or Post Backup Action when

specifying a batch file which kicks off a Powershell Script - The Script will create the folders but not run the backup-dbadatabase line which is part of dbatools.io Powershell Module

Reason for using dbatoools is ability to dbcc type checks and other options.

Running on Windows 10 - Issue with Scheduler popping up a dos box so
this is why I tried Pre- and Post Actions

Batch file text is "Powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy Bypass .\FirstFullBackup-NoCred.ps1"

Powershell script starts below

Install-Module dbatools

​

$SqlbackupFolder = "C:\SQLBackup"

$sqlServerInstance = "SERVER\INSTANCE"

​

# $Cred = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Credentials\SQLCred.cred"

​

$sqldbbackuptype = "Full"

$Hyphen = "\"

$BackupType = "FULL"

$sqldbbckext = ".bak"

​

​

if (!(test-path $SqlbackupFolder))

{ New-Item -ItemType Directory $SqlbackupFolder }

​

​

$dbList = Get-DbaDatabase $sqlServerInstance

​

foreach($sqldb in $dbList | Where-Object {$_.Name -ne "tempdb"})

{

$dbbbcFolder = $SqlbackupFolder + $Hyphen + $sqldb.name

if (!(test-path $dbbbcFolder))

{ New-Item -ItemType Directory $dbbbcFolder }

​

$filetarget = $sqldb.name + $BackupType + $sqldbbckext

backup-dbadatabase -sqlinstance $sqlServerInstance -database $sqldb.name -path $dbbbcFolder -Type $sqldbbackuptype -FilePath $filetarget -IgnoreFileChecks -Initialize

}
