This new version can now backup and restore directly to and from public cloud services and SFTP servers. With new In-Cloud Recovery, any backup image can be restored as VMs in the cloud environment. New LTO Tape Support provides high speed backup of bulk data to high capacity tape storage solutions to ensure long-term archival stability. Point-in-time file and folder backup, a frequently requested feature, has been included in this release.
