We have scheduled an upgrade of our R1Soft Server Backup (formerly Idera Server Backup or R1Soft CDP) platform software on cdp01.steadfast.net to version 6.12.0.  This update includes changes to the agent to reduce the need for full block scans and fixes a number of bugs.

This upgrade is being performed during the daytime, mid-week, because it is the lowest utilization period.

Date: Tuesday, January 28, 2020
Start Time: 1:00 PM CST (UTC -6)
End Time: 2:00 PM CST (UTC -6)
Maintenance Scope: cdp01.steadfast.net Backup Server

Customer Impact:

During the maintenance period, backups will not be performed and restoration services will be unavailable, but deferred tasks will be started once the upgrade is complete. This maintenance will not impact customer equipment or services other than backup tasks and does not affect private backup servers or customers using Veeam.

It is safe to upgrade the agent to version 6.12.0 before the manager has been upgraded if you have not already done so.

The full official release notes may be viewed here.

If you have any questions regarding this maintenance, or for assistance in upgrading the agent on your server(s), please feel free to contact us via our helpdesk or by email.
