While I was on my blog hiatus, IDATA Tools v4.2 was released, and I’ve been meaning to outline what has been delivered in this version.
This release focused on making key enhancements to existing tools, and covers:
| Tool | Enhancements |
|---|---|
| backup-report | Introduced new comprehensive mode. When run on the GST server, this utility can now report on backup failures as well as successful backups. |
| dbufree | Now supports staging from AFTD to pools that are not of "Backup" type. |
| sslocate | Corrected reporting of data to be cloned when savesets to be cloned span multiple volumes. |
| check-clients | Improved the performance test. |
| media-free | Improved support for running on Windows servers. |
| review-res | Now supports emailing the configuration report once it has been generated. |
For more details about what IDATA Tools can do, check out IDATA’s reseller site, Krisanya, and click the “IDATATools for NetWorker” link in the main menu. IDATA Tools is available for purchase, and of course remains free on subscription to IDATA support customers.
The next, and more substantial update of IDATA Tools is currently in the works – but if you’re using IDATA Tools now, I’d highly recommend you upgrade to v4.2.
