What’s New in SQL Safe Backup 8.5.1?
- Support for Government Cloud Storage
With this release of SQL Safe Backup, we’ve added support for the government sectors of Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. This addition will allow users to comply with stricter regulatory and compliance requirements and increase the number of government entities that can use the product.
- TSM Striped Files
In prior releases of SQL Safe Backup, the option to write striped backup files to the TSM Server was only available in the SQL Safe Web Console. This option has now been added to the SQL Safe Windows Management Console, which will provide additional flexibility to our end users.
This release also includes several bug fixes. For a detailed list of bug fixes, please review the release notes.
