Change Log

2.0.1 - 15 June 2022

New Features/Changes

  • Dashboard - Added “See Report” link to each dashboard item to bring user directly to the applicable report

  • Snapshot Selection - tooltips for data storage location have been updated to provide better description

Resolved Issues

  • Tenant Authentication - Tenants incorrectly prompted for plug-in credentials

  • Tenant Settings - Toggle settings for tenants do not function correctly (Dashboard and Activity Log now display when toggled)

  • vApp Export - Unable to recover deleted VM from a vApp

Known Issues

  • vApp Templates - Backup/Recovery support for vApp templates fails. Workaround is to perform recovery as the Provider. Fix is under development.

  • vApp Recovery - Downloading snapshots/file from S3/archive targets does not provide data location (e.g local Rubrik storage, Archive). Fix is under development.

  • File Recovery - Incorrectly allows for cross snapshot selection during recovery which causes failure to recover. Workaround is to ensure the same snapshot date is selected if recovering multiple files.

  • vApp Recovery - Standalone virtual machines fail to recover. Workaround is to convert standalone virtual machines to vApp and ensure there is a successful backup before the need to recover.

  • Tenant Settings - Tenant Settings in RBK_META do not correctly display when logged in as tenant
