CyBackup Version 5.6 Release is UnderWay
This release note contains information regarding the CyBackup Winter Release. This document provides important product information that may not be covered in the product manuals such as new features, upgrades, and problems fixed.
New in this Version
The CyBackup Winter Release contains several new additions:
- User Access Report Filters – The previously introduced User Access Report shows you when, where, and how users are logging into the management portal. With this release, we are introducing the ability to filter this report by username, user type, IP address, browser, and date. These filters can be used in conjunction with one another and offer much more robust reporting configurations. It is now easier to search for login times for a specific user or investigate a certain time period. These filters also apply the exported version of this report, if you need to save a copy for your records or to satisfy any compliance concern.
- Dashboard Filter by Computer Groups – Users will now have the ability to assign subaccounts/computers to groups within the management portal. This can be very useful when an admin wants to differentiate between something like a critical server and an employee’s laptop. Once you have created these groups, you can apply templates to them for things like settings and notifications, so you can treat systems differently, according to their importance and visibility within a given client site. We have also added the ability to filter the new dashboard based using these computer groups as well. If you only want to see detailed information about the backup history of servers, you will now be able to do that with the new dashboard, provided you have made a servers computer group. This new functionality gives admins greater visibility into what important client systems are doing without having to worry about important notifications getting lost in the clutter of less critical systems.
