  • Logged out users can no longer poke around the UI
  • Job log entries are now recorded in the A2 main logs


Known Issues

  • Importing of Alike v4 Offsite Vaults is not supported yet
  • RestoreFS delays when browsing via Windows Explorer (can require a "refresh" to see partition lists)

  • Intermittent "Unable to read data from the transport connection" from XenAPI on older XenServer versions
  • Vaulting bandwidth controls not yet available

  • Error reporting during "full restore" jobs is limited/unhelpful
  • Deleting an entire VM from the UI will remove it to be lost from any configured jobs
  • GFS retention policies can be configured but do not apply, default retention always used instead
  • Revert (overwrite) restores not avaiable
  • Changing agent password in console menu changes "alike" user instead
  • Automated emails don't always work from the A2
  • Alike Free users get a "No License" warning on login (harmless)
  • Setting a static IP on the A2 can result in console errors
