Bug Fixes

  • EC2 and EBS assets were not showing up in the Tenant after a deploy. This was fixed.

  • Tenant console breadcrumbs wer fixed throughout the Tenant.
  • Asset filter would not be removed anymore when returning from the Recovery Point page to the Assets page.
  • Specifying tag in the Tenant results in timestamp=tag on the RP would fail in some cases. This was fixed.
  • The policy did not run if the start time was later than the end time. This was fixed.

Elastio CLI

  • elastio file restore did not skip inaccessible files and continue processing the restore. This was fixed.
  • Elastio CLI would exit with 0 exit status if filesystem backup failed to backup some files. This was fixed.
  • Block backup was failing for the RAID device on Windows. This was fixed.
  • mount rp would sometimes fail after several attempts on Windows. This was fixed.
  • First umount rp attempt would fail with “The system cannot find the file specified” on Windows.
  • elastio:volume= was missing the volume ID in EBS RPs. This was fixed.
  • iscan-ebs-snapshot would occasionally fail to scan several snapshots. This was fixed.
  • elastio block backup of mounted volume located on disk without partition would not always work. This was fixed.
  • Poor performance of 5TB+ block restore was fixed.

Known Issues

  • Policy creation in the Tenant might take around 110 seconds.
