Significant performance improvements have been made, particularly for VMware and image-level backups.
Enhanced insights are now available for VMware, Hyper-V, Git, Jira, and Microsoft 365 environments, making analysis and optimization easier.
Improved consistency and reliability.
The backup agent now automatically skips damaged disk sectors, ensuring uninterrupted backups.
Entire backup chains can now be exported in their original format and restored using the Rescue Stick, making it ideal for bandwidth-limited environments.
VMware backups are now up to 46% faster using CBT (Changed Block Tracking).
Two-factor authentication (2FA) now also applies to SSO and SAML logins.
Detailed performance logging has been added to improve environment troubleshooting. Log entries now also record the start and completion of snapshot removal during VMware backups.
New configurable parameters have been added to better adapt to customer-specific environments.
Unified backup, replication, and test restore settings.
Deduplication artifacts are now completely removed during data deletion, ensuring clean and consistent storage.
Early detection has been added for tasks running longer than 12 hours.
The system has been redesigned to minimize storage reads by analyzing file extensions instead of deserializing footers. Multi-threaded copying is now supported, with optimized cloud (S3) operations. These improvements significantly reduce initialization and transfer times, especially for large repositories.
Significant performance improvements have been made for large deployments with hundreds of agents.
Alerts for unsaved changes are now standardized across all panels, reducing user errors and improving predictability.
Fixed errors occurring on MSSQL versions lower than 2016 SP1.
Fixed an issue that prevented restores when VM replication settings were enabled.
Fixed an issue affecting the restoration of multiple subnet environments protected with Xopero Unified Protection.
Fixed an issue caused by virtual disk names that included special characters.
Fixed an issue where user configuration was ignored and empty blocks were always skipped.
Hyper-V restore compatibility between versions has been improved.
Fixed a UI issue where closing the preview panel prevented browsing additional emails without refreshing the page.
We have introduced two-factor authentication (2FA) in Xopero ONE and GitProtect to enhance platform security and implement modern authentication practices. Users can now log in using a one-time code generated by apps like Google Authenticator in addition to their password.
To meet growing demand for Apple devices with M1/M2 processors, version 2.0.0 introduces full compatibility with Apple Silicon. This ensures seamless operation of our agents on ARM-based Mac systems.
We have added foundational support for direct MSP partner access to customer environments, configurable as full or read-only access. This feature will become visible once the Xopero ONE MSP update is officially released. By default, access is disabled.
Major improvements have been made to the deduplication engine for disk image and VMware backup workflows. These changes significantly reduce scanning overhead and improve comparison speed.
To streamline onboarding, the first step of backup plan configuration has been updated:
Task summaries, such as for Microsoft 365 and Git, now show which worker device executed each task, providing clarity in multi-agent environments.
The backend has been significantly optimized to handle simultaneous backup tasks across multiple environments, improving performance in large and dynamic infrastructures.
Info-level logs have been added for each message previewed during restore, enhancing auditability without affecting existing functionality.
Introduced detailed DEBUG-level logs for SMB restores, including:
These additions provide deeper insight into the restore process and support advanced troubleshooting.
Checksum handling now supports configurable validity periods — 15 minutes for SaaS and 45 minutes for on-prem. It also includes remote update support for DMZ devices, removing the need for manual checksum generation.
Performance during disk image backup and VMware instant restore has been improved with read caching for iSCSI, resulting in faster and more efficient operations.
We’ve improved the behavior of tasks marked as NotConnected, including:
Introduced an internal environment variable that allows adjusting parallel task limits for SaaS backups — providing greater flexibility when operating in large environments.
Ensures that target storage correctly displays backup data after replication completes.
Improved clarity with an informative message explaining platform limitations — remote updates remain unsupported.
Replication now respects the defined time windows for execution.
Settings are now preserved after deleting plans or restarting services.
Manual task executions now function correctly when run outside backup windows, following user confirmation.

Administrators managing large infrastructures with multiple physical or virtual devices can now use remote agent updates. Version 1.9.5 introduces the long-awaited ability to update agents directly from the management interface, either individually or in bulk, including on devices without internet access.
Backup tasks now automatically skip unallocated blocks on Hyper-V virtual disks, improving restoration efficiency and optimizing space usage for dynamic disks.
Task views now display tasks in launch order and highlight active tasks, enhancing clarity and navigation for both running and queued tasks.
Compression settings have been optimized to balance backup speed and data compaction, resulting in faster backups while maintaining efficient storage usage.
Reporting of S3 storage usage has been improved for greater accuracy and performance, with reduced memory and API resource consumption during refresh operations.
Worker processes now isolate cache and temporary data, reducing storage dependencies and improving SaaS performance. Enhanced logging further supports diagnostics.
UI/UX refinements for image building, BMR tool branding updates, and improved message handling have streamlined recovery workflows.
Performance bottlenecks when displaying large device inventories have been resolved, providing a smoother user experience.
Support for agents below version 1.5.0 has been retired, improving consistency and reducing backend load.
Image building using SVS Creator now works seamlessly on Windows 11 environments.
New backup plans now default to VSS_BT_FULL mode, allowing transaction log truncation and improved integration with application-aware backups.
This release includes several important bug fixes for SMB share support, which are expected to improve stability and communication with SMB storages.
Deduplicated data is now fully removed, ensuring accurate space reclamation after deletions.
Non-admin users no longer need account management permissions to change the interface language.
Task runtime reporting now remains accurate even after Xopero ONE Management Service (XMS) restarts.
Hyper-V fallback behavior for application-aware snapshots now functions as expected.
Agent startup on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 is now seamless following the adoption of .NET 6.
