This document describes new features and fixes introduced in the 10.6.1 release. For upgrade instructions and considerations, reference the Upgrade Guide for Recovery Series and Unitrends Backup.
NEW - ION and ION+ appliances
New ION/ION+ desktop appliances are now available as a completely silent micro desktop (ION models) or a powerful and ultra-quiet desktop tower (ION+ models). Perfect for offices with no server room or MSPs scaling backup to small customer sites. For details, see ION/ION+ Models.
Windows agent
This release includes updated Windows core and bare metal agents. The 10.6.1 core agent is recommended for all Windows assets.
IMPORTANT! |
The 10.6.1 Windows agent includes an updated Windows Volume changed block tracking (CBT) driver (used for incremental image-level backups). Note the following:
- Upon installing the agent on a Windows asset for the first time, a reboot of the Windows machine is required.
- For agent upgrades, a reboot is required to update the CBT driver, but incrementals continue to run as scheduled until you can reboot the Windows machine.
- Unitrends has implemented a new agent CBT driver process. With this new process, a reboot of the Windows machine will only be required for major CBT version changes. Major driver changes are very infrequent, incremental backups will not be impacted.
