Oracle VirtualBox 6.0 now supported
Rapid Recovery Core supports virtual export of recovery points to supported versions of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
As of release 6.4, version 6.0 is supported.
VM configuration backup and restore improvements on ESXi
In release 6.3, Rapid Recovery introduced the ability to back up and restore configurations on ESXi.
In release 6.4, this ability is expanded. When restoring from a backed-up configuration file, you now have the option to duplicate the source machine's MAC address, or to use a new one. Similarly, the VM you are exporting can duplicate the source machine's unique Rapid Recovery machine ID, or can generate a new ID.
If replacing the prior VM with the new one, using the same MAC address and RRID are useful features. If creating a new VM that you plan to co-exist with the original, you should assign new MAC address and RRID.

NOTE: This feature only works when the VM being exported was from ESXi and is again being exported to ESXi. |
Protection of shared VHDX disks for standalone Hyper-V
VHDX is the newer Hyper-V storage disk type. Whereas VHD files have a 2 TB capacity, VHDX has a capacity of 64 TB.
A shared VHDX (for example, on a scaleout file server or SOFS) can have more than one owner. Shared VHDX were not visible for protection when only a standalone Hyper-V server was protected with agentless protection in release 6.3.
In release 6.4, Rapid Recovery expands its support of Hyper-V VHDX so that you can protect shared VHDX when protecting a standalone Hyper-V host and the SOFS cluster using agentless protection.
This is an Agent-based feature. When you protect the Hyper-V VM, install Rapid Recovery Agent on the Hyper-V host and SOFS cluster nodes. When viewing the protected Hyper-V host in the Rapid Recovery Core Console, the host and all nodes of the SOFS cluster are visible in the Virtual Machines pane.
Debian 10 Linux now supported
Debian Linux support has been enhanced in this release.
Rapid Recovery Agent now supports Debian Linux 10 in addition to releases 7, 8, and 9.
