September 18, 2023
File Server and NAS
Enhancement
Archive Support for File Server and NAS in GovCloud
Druva customers can now avail benefits of Archive for their sensitive workloads running in the GovCloud, where the data doesn't change frequently but needs to be retained for extended periods for compliance or other purposes. Also, to use the Archive feature, Druva no longer enforces minimum file size limits. For more information, see Protect File Server and NAS data in Archive storage tier.
Archive is not suitable for frequently modified data. As the archive data is retained for one year or more, it may result in higher credit consumption for such data.
Archive is best suited for the data that rarely changes and requires higher retention.
Customer action required: None.
Disaster Recovery
New Feature
End-of-Support for CentOS and introduction of new Ubuntu-based AWS proxy
In the event of RedHat's announcement of discontinuation of CentOS, Druva has discontinued CentOS-based AWS proxies that will follow Druva’s EOS cycle. Druva now introduces Ubuntu-based AWS proxies that will be used for the recovery of your virtual machines seamlessly in the event of a disaster. For more information, see Deploying CloudFormation stack template for migrating AWS Proxy from CentOS to Ubuntu.
Customer action required: Migrate the existing CentOS proxy to Ubuntu using the new CloudFormation Template that will be available on September 25.
Enhancement
Optimized restore workflow
We have now optimized the restore workflow, leading to time and cost savings.
Customer action required: Upgrade the DR AWS proxy to version 6.3.4-372005. For more information, see Deploying CloudFormation stack template for migrating AWS Proxy from CentOS to Ubuntu.

New Feature
Introducing APIs for Reports
We've added APIs for reports to enable quick access to the data for existing Hybrid Workloads' reports.
You can also build integrations to obtain specific data for various use cases. For example, you can:
- Track the status of workloads periodically and trigger automated responses using third-party apps or custom scripts. For example, you can create a ticket to inform an administrator if backups fail beyond a certain percentage on a specific day.
- Keep a close eye on critical activities such as failed Restore jobs. This visibility allows you to proactively address any issues that may arise.
- Run narrowed-down diagnostics using filters to provide evidence during audits.
- Build personalized reports or a view to monitor all your data.
With these new APIs, you'll have more flexibility and control over your reporting.
For more information, see Getting Started with Reports API.
Notes:
- With this release, APIs are not available for the Credit Consumption report and the Cost Allocation report.
- This update is not available for GovCloud.

VMware
New Feature
Support for Unusual Data Activity (UDA)
This feature is available only for early access customers. To know more about the Early Availability program and sign up for this feature, contact support.
Druva now supports anomaly detection for VMware virtual machines, providing efficient data resiliency from threats. When a VM is successfully backed up, the UDA algorithm detects any malicious, intentional, or unknown activities based on the number of files added, deleted, or modified, and subsequently generates alerts. For information related to Unusual Data Activity for VMware, see Cyber Resilience release notes.
Customer action required: None.
Enhancement
Load more files and folders during restore
Druva now provides the Load More option to display additional content in a particular folder during a restore. This option is available in a large directory structure to load the next set of results and enables you to restore a specific file/folder. For more information, see Restore virtual machine data.
Customer action required: None.
Disaster Recovery
New Feature
Support for failover and failback of VMs with UEFI firmware
Druva DRaaS extends its support for failover and failback of VMs with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware. If you have configured a UEFI VM, during failover, you get a copy of the source machine in AWS in the form of an EC2 instance that boots with UEFI firmware, and during failback, it is recovered in the UEFI mode only. Earlier, the recovered EC2 instance would boot in the BIOS mode only. For more information, see About UEFI firmware support for Failover and Failback.
Customer action required: Upgrade the VMware and AWS proxy to version 6.3.1 or later.
NAS
Enhancement
Advanced Smart Scan support for NFS
Incremental backup performance is significantly improved with Advanced Smart Scan, which reduces network round trips and API call latencies. This reduces the overall time consumed during a scan, thereby decreasing the incremental backup job's time. For more information, see Advanced Smart Scan and Scanning methods in NAS.
Customer action required: Upgrade agent to version 6.3.1.

CloudCache
New Feature
Support for Linux-based CloudCache for Nutanix AHV
There is a new version of a Linux-based CloudCache, R2, with the following benefits:
- It now supports Nutanix AHV for all backup and restore requirements.
- It enables faster RPOs and RTOs, especially for lower bandwidth sites.
- It facilitates keeping a copy of data on-premise for compliance reasons.
Note: CloudCache R2 version is available for Nutanix AHV virtual machines for versions 6.3.0-241622 and later.
Customer action required: You can deploy the CloudCache R2 in your Nutanix AHV environment, or VMware, or a Physical Server by using the appropriate form factors such as QCOW2, OVA, or a .deb package. For more information, refer to Set up CloudCache and Phoenix Downloads.
NAS
Enhancement
Load more files and folders during a NAS restore
Druva now provides the Load More option to display additional content in a particular folder during a restore workflow. The Load More option is visible to load the next set of results in case of a large directory structure and enables you to restore a specific file or folder. For more information, see Restore a NAS share.
Customer action required: None.
Support for absolute path for exclusion in NAS content rule
For effective exclusions, the absolute path is now supported for NAS SMB shares. Therefore, in the content rule, folders will be excluded from being backed up if you have any absolute path mentioned in the exclude folder.
For more information, see Configure backup set for NAS share.
Customer action required: Upgrade the proxy to version 6.3.0-263056 and later.
