AvePoint Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS August 2024

Release Date for the Commercial Environment: August 4, 2024

Release Date for the US Government Environment: August 11, 2024

General Updates

  • AvePoint is moving Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS to a new consumption-based licensing model for any new customers or existing customers upon recontract/renewal. This provides great flexibility to customers and gives them the ability to tailor their licensing to what they actually use.

  • AvePoint Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS now offers enhanced customer support through the integration of the AVA chatbot. If you have any product-related inquiries, the chatbot is readily available to assist you.

  • The notification center on the home page is available now to display subscription expiration alerts, out-of-policy alerts, and BYOS alerts.

  • To align with the new prepaid consumption-based licensing model (for new customers and renewing/recontracting existing customers), new detailed reporting across licensing metrics is now available in our subscription consumption report.

  • In this release, all URLs associated with the old user interface will be retired, and will no longer be accessible.

  • The pages displaying objects that can be restored have been improved across all services. It is now possible to configure which columns are displayed on these pages.

  • The date format for both the Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS environment and notification emails can now be configured in AvePoint Online Services > Administration > General settings > Culture settings.

What’s New in Virtual Machines

  • When creating a new backup scope for Amazon EC2 using the manual select method, you can now search for instances by instance ID to add them to the backup scope.

What’s New in Azure DevOps

  • After a successful private and public preview, we're excited to announce the general availability of Azure DevOps backup. For more information, please contact your AvePoint Account Manager or start a trial today.

  • The Azure DevOps service now supports the restoration of specific permission groups in organization settings and project settings.
