We’re pleased to confirm that the latest MAX RM release is rolling out across the Dashboard territories, so that it will be available to all customers by tomorrow, Thursday April 21st. The US Territory got a head start on today’s update and already has the new features.
This includes a set of much-anticipated improvements to Patch Management, with new features such as a patch roll-back facility for Microsoft patches, and an improved workflow to help you install patches more quickly and with less admin effort. Click here to find our more, including detailed screenshots of the new functionality.
Today’s update also includes an upgrade to Managed Online Backup so that it runs on a newer version of MAX Backup (v16.3.0). It contains a series of improvements to Virtual Disaster Recovery, offering better performance and greatly reducing the time it takes to perform a system recovery.
Note that the new Backup Manager and some of the new Patch Management features require the new RC Agent, v10.2.0.
