Improvements

  • You can now choose which Xen template will be used by your restored or replicated VM. Since Xen templates vary by Xen release, the ability to select the best template for your VM can help ensure it has optimal hypervisor features and drivers. For more information on UEFI boot and Xen templates, please see this article.
  • Adds robustness to the A3 Alike ADS by replicating critical structures to various secondary storage systems, improving the chance of restoring your ADS even after it's been compromised or damaged
