New Tag for Email Notifications

You can now add an "end time" tag to your backup email notifications, so you can see exactly when a task finishes directly in the report.

Optimization of Post-Processing During Backup Failures

Programs or scripts configured to run after the main backup task, are now triggered even in the event of partial failures of the main task. If issues arise with the backup, additional steps will be carried out, enhancing the stability and reliability of post-processing.

IMAP Error Handling Optimization

We've improved error handling for IMAP backup, particularly after changes to the retry strategy.

Faster Postgres Backups

We've made improvements to increase the speed of PostgreSQL database backup. Additionally, users can now choose between two backup formats: SQL for SQL-format backups or Custom for PostgreSQL’s native format.
