Introduction

This article describes the issues that are fixed in Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Azure Backup Server v3. This article also contains the installation instructions for this update.

Note: Existing Azure Backup Server customers should upgrade to the latesthttp://aka.ms/azurebackup_agent Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent (version 2.0.9171.0 or a later version). If the latest agent is not installed, online backups may fail, and no Microsoft Azure Backup Server to Microsoft Azure operation will work.

Issues that are fixed

This update fixes the following issues:

  • During the attach agent wizard when you select a Computer on trusted domain and add it, the selected Computer does not list under selected computers.

  • You delete the protection group with retaining the recovery point for a VMware VM which is no longer available on the ESX server. If you recreate the new VM with the same name on the same ESX instance and protect again using MABS, the recovery pane creates multiple entries for this VM.

  • The MABS Console becomes unresponsive while loading Recoverable Items for a data source in the recovery pane.

  • MABS Service may crash during MABS maintenance jobs that run at midnight.

  • In some scenarios, recovery point pruning job failures lead to storage bloat.

  • Data Protection Manager service crash with error "The directory is not empty" while failing to delete a replica path during the Garbage Collection process.

  • Restore Operation for SQL workloads fails with an error “Consolidation of recovery points of the replica failed” due to timeout. Introduced registry key to extend timeout value. Refer More Information section for additional details.

  • The backup operation fails when Certificate based authentication is configured and Null Ciphers are disabled

  • SharePoint backup fails when SQL server is located in a different domain than the SharePoint farm web front end. Refer More Information section for additional details.

Other Improvements and Features


Deprecation
