The benefits of the New Backup Format are now available for macOS and Linux Backup users, including:
- Client-side deduplication – reduce the time, bandwidth, and storage consumption by avoiding uploading identical files in different folders.
- Consistency checks – check the state of data backed up in your storage and verify its consistency.
- Restore points – ensure that the backup dataset is valid to be restored if the restore point is valid.
- Optimized operations with storage – get fewer requests, faster synchronization, and faster purge.
- Continued upload – data will be uploaded in parts, resulting in a continuous process in case of network issues.
- Object size up to 256TB to any storage destination.
- Optimized performance and storage usage for a large number of small files.
Note: In the beta version, synthetic full backup, GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son), Forever Forward Incremental backup, and object lock are currently unavailable.
The Quick Restore application will allow files to be restored from macOS/Linux backups to a Windows computer or source computer running under macOS/Linux OS. The Quick Restore application for macOS/Linux is not yet available.
