In addition to the protection engine updates mentioned in the Linux Deployment section above, we&#8217;ve also seen updates as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>19.21: Added support for Wasabi cloud storage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>19.22: Added support for Microsoft Azure storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Virtual Workload Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Across 19.21 and 19.22 there have been a number of significant enhancements for workload support across virtualisation environments. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>19.21:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hyper-V:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support for protection of Japanese-language Hyper-V servers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support added for WDAC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VMware:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>vSphere 9.0 does not support Transparent Snapshots Data Mover (TSDM). For vSphere 9.0, Data Manager will automatically switch to VADP backups if vSphere 9.0 is in use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>19.22:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hyper-V:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support for protection of German-language Hyper-V servers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VMware:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TSDM won&#8217;t support vSphere environments earlier than 8.x.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nutanix AHV:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support has been added for Nutanix AHV virtual machine protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Workloads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>19.21:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Timeouts removed on File Level Restore operations; now, for FLR, the operation will continue so long as data is being transferred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>19.22:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Added support for <strong>Dell NativeEdge<\/strong> virtual machine workloads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added support for AIX File System assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added instant access restore support for PowerMax storage groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generic application agent adds support for database protection via NFS with a data mover using DD Boost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>19.21:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The backup administrator role has been adjusted: This is a limited-privilege role that sits under the more comprehensive admin role. A backup administrator can manage protection policies, but doesn&#8217;t have administrative access over the rest of the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduction of <strong>backup operator<\/strong> and <strong>restore operator<\/strong> roles. These roles allow users assigned to perform backup, and restore operations respectively, without having administrative privileges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>19.22\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anomaly detection has seen several enhancements, including:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The ability to update anomaly detection definitions directly (rather than
