Release Notes

Version 1.1.1

What’s new

• A new mechanism of running MySQL instances is introduced. Now this is done from within the backup archive rather than on the live system.
  The change solves multiple issues, related to database recovery in Virtuozzo Hybrid Server containers. It also removes the hard requirement for MySQL version matching in the archive and the target system that makes it possible to smoothly recover a database from a backup after the MySQL server has been updated on the system.

Fixed issues

• [CI-20054] Recovery of sub-domains without the main domain causes recovery errors after the next backup
• [CI-20465] Plugin installation on CloudLinux fails with error "returned a non-zero value"

Version 1.1

What’s new

• Mailbox recovery can now preserve emails generated after the backup has been created
• Multiple fixes and improvements to the plugin update procedure

Fixed issues

• [CI-19461] Cannot create a backup if the MySQL password is quoted in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/my.cnf
• [CI-16620] Error while updating the plugin via Update option in the DirectAdmin Plugin Manager. The fix was implemented in the DirectAdmin application, and thus requires the application to be updated to version 1.642 or later.

Known issues and limitations

• [CI-19693] Recovered emails are duplicated if they were moved to a different directory before the recovery operation
• [CI-19699] Backup cannot be enabled for DirectAdmin v 1.642 and newer installed in Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 7.5 containers. A fix will be included in the C22.10 update to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

Version Beta 1

Overview

This the initial, beta version of the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud integration with the DirectAdmin hosting control panel.

The integration allows administrators to back up application-consistent DirectAdmin-enabled servers. It uses the same backup archive to restore the entire web hosting server to a fully consistent state and also to recover individual DirectAdmin objects, including accounts, databases, websites, mailboxes, folders and files.

In addition, the administrator can expose backedup data to DirectAdmin users and thus enable direct self-service recovery from the integration user interface.

This Beta 1 version features the following product functionalities:

• Installation and configuration via the DirectAdmin user interface and server console
• Running a backup on demand
• Recovering an entire server
• Enabling self-service recovery for end users
• Downloading files from the archive and recovering them to the original location by admins and end users
