The developers focused on accelerating backup, scaling for growing loads, and developing monitoring tools
Kiberprotekt company has released Kiber Backup 19 – a new version of its data backup and recovery system. The update expands support for domestic IT platforms, accelerates data processing, and adds tools for monitoring large infrastructures.
One of the key changes is the refinement of PostgreSQL database protection. The libpgprobackup library, developed jointly with Postgres Professional, has been integrated into the system. Users can choose between two backup mechanisms. Support for the walsummary tool has also been added to accelerate incremental backup and point-in-time data recovery, as well as Jatoba clusters.
Among the new integrations is the Russian virtualization platform VMmanager. Virtual machine backups can now be created at the hypervisor level without installing agents on each VM. In addition, VMware's service network traffic has been reduced by more than 2.5 times, and for most other supported platforms – by more than ten times.
Kiber Backup 19 also received support for RuPost corporate email and expanded capabilities for working with VK WorkSpace: one management server is now designed to serve up to 85 thousand mailboxes.
The notification system has been redesigned to work with tens of thousands of data sources. Sending messages to Maks and transferring metrics and logs to Zabbix have been added. To protect backups from changes, integration with AMT InfoDiode, which provides physical data isolation, has been implemented.
Other innovations include centralized management of Linux agents via the RPM repository and the transition to digitally signed license files. For bootable media, licensing restrictions on the use of backup and recovery capabilities have been lifted.
