New ‘Delete Final Backup’ setting for the default 30-day retention policy
Retention settings ensure that the necessary recovery points are available on your appliance. Appliances are configured with a default backup retention policy of 30 days. This 30-day policy is applied to each protected asset. For appliances imaged with release 10.7.11 or higher, the 30-day default retention policy enables the appliance to purge any backup that is no longer held by the policy.
If needed, you can opt to retain an asset’s last available recovery point by unchecking the Delete Final Backup box in the Edit Retention Policy dialog.
For details, see “Managing retention with long-term data management” in the Administrator Guide for Recovery Series, Recovery MAX, ION/ION+, and Unitrends Backup.
*Notes:
- The 30-day default retention policy applies to appliances imaged with release 10.7.8 or higher. This default policy does not apply to appliances that were originally imaged with an earlier release. Release 10.7.8 was generally available on September 6, 2023.
- The Delete Final Backup option was added to the 30-day default retention policy in release 10.7.11. For appliances imaged with release 10.7.11 or higher, Delete Final Backup is enabled for this default policy. To enable this feature on older appliances, check the Delete Final Backup box when adding or editing a policy.
- Upgrading an appliance does not modify its retention policies in any way.
- Holds applied to individual backups override the asset’s retention policy. Once the backup is no longer on hold, it is eligible for deletion by the policy. (For more on holding backups, see “Placing backups on hold” in the Administrator Guide for Recovery Series, Recovery MAX, ION/ION+, and Unitrends Backup.)

Unitrends Backup and Continuity Updates
Unitrends Support and Monthly Maintenance Release
Unitrends aims to make backups hassle-free and protect your data wherever it lives. This month’s release includes agent re-pairing, cold copy archiving updates, Windows agent updates and the latest security patches to make your experience as smooth and efficient as possible.
Note: Rebooting the appliance is recommended upon upgrading to this release.
Re-pairing of Windows and Linux Agents
You can now use the Re-Pair button on the Configure > Protected Assets tab to establish a secure pairing between the asset and its appliance.
Re-pairing requires the asset to be in pairing mode. The 10.7.9 Windows agent includes an agent pairing utility — the pairing window — to enable pairing mode for a specified amount of time. For Linux assets, use the instructions in the Unitrends Agent Pairing - Linux article to enable pairing mode.
After enabling pairing mode on the asset, use the Re-Pair button to:
- Add the asset to a Unitrends appliance. (For example, use the button to add the asset to one or more appliances after the initial 25-hour pairing window has closed.)
- Re-establish pairing between the asset and the appliance. (For example, use the button if the asset’s pairing status changed to “Failed” due to an error.)
- Establish pairing between the asset and the appliance after upgrading the agent from an older version that did not support pairing.
For detailed requirements and procedures, see Secure agent pairing for Windows and Linux agents in the Administrator Guide for Unitrends Recovery Series, Recovery MAX, ION/ION+, and Unitrends Backup.
Store Backup Copies in your Azure Environment
Backup copies provide another layer of protection for your data and should be used for long-term retention and disaster recovery.
You can now store backup copies in your Azure environment. Simply add the Azure Blob storage container to your Unitrends appliance as a backup copy target, then add a job to copy backups to the container.
For detailed requirements and procedures, see Adding a third-party cloud backup copy target in the Administrator Guide for Unitrends Recovery Series, Recovery MAX, ION/ION+, and Unitrends Backup.

Secure agent pairing status
You can now view an agent’s last secure pairing status on the Configure > Protected Assets tab. Pairing status is updated when a backup runs during inventory sync or any time the asset is re-saved. Refresh pairing status by manually re-saving an asset or performing an inventory sync.
Pairing statuses include:
-
Paired — The agent has been paired.
-
Failed — The agent is not paired. Hover to see the error message. One of these errors has occurred:
- The client cannot be reached.
- The agent pairing time window has expired.

- The agent pairing request failed.
-
Unsupported — Pairing is disabled, or the agent pairing version is not compatible.

Remote — This asset resides on a managed appliance. Log in to its appliance directly to see the asset’s pairing status.
30-day retention policy
Starting with release 10.7.8, appliances are configured with a default backup retention policy of 30 days. This policy is applied to each protected asset. For details, see “Managing retention with long-term data management” in the Administrator Guide for Recovery Series, Recovery MAX, ION/ION+ and Unitrends Backup.
SQL Server 2022
You can now protect your SQL 2022 environment with application-level backups. To run application backups, the SQL server must be running Windows 2022 and the 10.7.8 Windows agent. The Unitrends appliance must be running 10.7.8. For details, see SQL backup requirements and considerations in the Administrator Guide for Recovery Series, Recovery MAX, ION/ION+ and Unitrends Backup.

Unitrends’ goal is to make backup as hassle-free as possible and to protect your data wherever it lives. That means keeping pace with all of the operating systems and applications we support. We also gather user feedback and release software updates monthly. This month’s release includes new secure agent pairing, several updates to Windows agents and bug fixes.
New Automated Secure Pairing of Windows Agents
Beginning with this month’s release, a secure pairing is automatically established between the appliance and the Windows agent on each of its protected assets. This pairing enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data and authenticate connections between appliances and agents. Communication between appliances and agents is only allowed if there is a matching (paired) certificate.
This feature blocks any communication with Unitrends agent software that doesn’t originate from a paired appliance (think of a Bluetooth headset, if it’s not paired or in pairing mode, no one else can communicate with it). This eliminates the threat of a rogue appliance running backups or code against an agent.
Bug Fixes
This month’s release includes fixes related to:
- APC UPS for Recovery Series appliances
- Appliance migration from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7
- Bugs related to some Hyper-V host-level backups

Fixes for Windows Agents and Google Mail
Unitrends continues to keep pace with important maintenance updates to keep your backups running smoothly for all of the different types of data and applications our customers protect. This month’s release includes updates for Windows agents and Google Mail.
Windows Agents
This release includes updated Windows core and bare metal agents. The latest core agent is recommended for all Windows assets and is required for the Windows fixes in this release.
Security Changes for Google Mail
As of May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices that ask you to sign in to your Google account using only your username and password. To continue to use Gmail as an SMTP relay for appliance email reporting, you can now create an application password for your Google account and add this to your Unitrends backup appliance. Detailed instructions are available in the 10.6.5 release notes.
