For more information, see Protect Enterprise Workloads in FedRAMP-certified GovCloud.
Customer action required: Upgrade the agent or proxy to the supported version for each workload.
VMware
New Feature
Cyber Recovery Runbooks for VMware
Introducing Cyber Recovery Runbooks to ensure business continuity during cyberattacks by transforming slow, manual recovery into an automated, threat-aware operation. Unlike traditional disaster recovery designed for power outages or hardware failures, this feature is specifically engineered for administrators to defeat modern cyber threats.
With this feature, administrators can:
Perform Threat-Aware Recovery: Automatically scan for malware before data enters the office network to avoid restoring viruses along with the data.
Establish Compliance Confidence: Prove protection and preparation to auditors with automatically generated Proof of Recovery reports.
Utilize a Secure Sandbox: Use an Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) to test and clean systems in a fenced-off area before they go live.
Improve Speed and Accuracy: Restore an entire business application stack with a single action instead of manually restoring individual servers.
Execute Targeted Recovery Modes: Choose between a Scheduled Cyber Recovery Testing Plan (SCRT) for automated "fire drills" or a Live Incident Recovery Plan (LIR) to restore critical resources in a secure environment using verified, clean snapshots.
This update enhances overall cyber resiliency and recovery efficiency by automating the identification of clean snapshots and providing isolated environments for safe data restoration.
For more information, see Get Started with Cyber Runbooks for VMware.
NAS
Enhancement
Automated prechecks for NAS backups
We’ve introduced automated prechecks to improve the reliability of your NAS backup configurations.
The system now validates your environment during backup set creation to identify common configuration issues before they cause job failures.
Key benefits:
Proactively identify proxy connectivity issues, invalid SMB credentials, mount failures, and missing folders.
Receive actionable solutions to resolve issues on the spot.
Maintain full control. While the UI might display warnings for failed checks, you can still choose to proceed with backup set creation if needed.
By resolving prerequisites upfront, you significantly reduce the risk of backup job failures later in the cycle.
Customer action required: None.
MS SQL
Enhancement
Supported SQL Server version
We now support MS SQL Server 2025 version for MS SQL data protection. For more information, see System requirements for MS SQL.
Customer action required: None.
Support for Transparent Data Encryption
We now support backup and restore operations for Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled MS SQL Server databases. For more information, see Configure MS-SQL instance or AG for backup
Customer action required: None.
Support for Contained Availability Groups
We have expanded our data protection capabilities to include Contained Availability Groups (AGs). This ensures that your instance-level metadata, such as logins, permissions, and jobs, is fully protected and recoverable alongside your user data.
For more information, see Configure MS-SQL availability group (AG) for backup.
Customer action required: None.
Platform-wide updates
The feature updates in this section apply to some or all workloads. Please review this section along with your specific workload.
Enhancement
Enhanced security with TLS 1.3
We now support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 for secure communications in addition to TLS 1.2. Customers are encouraged to use TLS 1.3 to benefit from enhanced security and protection against weaknesses associated with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and older TLS versions.
Customer actions required:
Configure your environment to support TLS 1.3 for secure communications, if it is not already enabled.
Upgrade your Enterprise Workloads agents to the versions listed below to enable TLS 1.3 support.
Enhancement
CloudCache is now TurboTier
We are excited to introduce TurboTier, a high-performance upgrade to CloudCache, designed to boost your local recovery capabilities. With TurboTier, you can achieve aggressive RTO and RPO SLAs by delivering LAN-speed restores directly within your data centers or remote offices, eliminating the bottlenecks of limited WAN bandwidth.
Key Benefits
Meet Aggressive RTOs: Instantly restore VMware virtual machines directly from TurboTier.
Lower total cost of ownership: Deploy the software-defined appliance on existing virtual machines or commodity hardware, eliminating proprietary hardware lock-in.
Simplify multi-site management: Oversee all TurboTier instances through a "single pane of glass" integrated directly into the Data Security Cloud.
Data Integrity: Automated checks detect local corruption to ensure your backups are always viable.
Optimize network performance: Control data syncs during off-peak hours using built-in throttling and source-side deduplication.
The transition to TurboTier is a seamless branding update. Your existing workloads will continue to back up and recover locally without interruption.
Customer action required: None.
Enhancement
Extended Data Retention Period for TurboTier
You can now retain up to 90 days of backed up data locally on TurboTier, a significant enhancement from the previous 30-day limit. This allows you to meet aggressive Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) for a full quarter's worth of data by restoring at LAN speeds, minimizing the need to download historical data from the cloud.
