10.8.2 – May 6, 2024

This release includes the enhancements and fixes described below.

Improved VMware Backups in release 10.8.2 and later

We've improved our VMware backup offering by implementing a more efficient VMware API that optimizes both full and incremental/differential backups. These APIs also reduce the amount of unnecessary data transferred, leading to smaller backup sizes. While creating new full backups is optional, it's recommended to take full advantage of the reduced backup sizes for your VMware VMs.
