These release notes contain important information about Vault® 23.1

This release incorporates new features, enhancements, and resolved issues from all previous significant releases. If you're upgrading from an earlier version of Vault, check the release notes for any interim versions for details about additional improvements in this release over your current release.

Vault 23.1

What's New

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) support

Currently, Vault allows usernames and passwords or SSO-based authentication to grant users access to the Vault application; however, most of our customers requested the implementation of an additional layer of protection to prevent the misuse of their credentials if user credentials were compromised. With MFA now supported, it will allow our users to add Google, Salesforce, or other comparable authenticator apps to provide an authentication code at login.

Unique Identifiers for Object

With this update, we've added the capability to assign a unique identification to each object, preventing the generation of duplicate records.  The mapping between source and destination records was not previously available with Vault when records were available in a sandbox, making it impossible to uniquely identify the records in the destination. 

Thanks to this capability, every entity in the Salesforce org can now have a unique identifier configured. You can now restore or replicate data without recreating duplicate records.

Enhanced schema representation in restore/replicate

With the most recent Vault 23.1 release, we improved the schema representation by showing one level of the child/parent objects at a time. The tree can now be expanded based on your selection rather than the entire tree, which speeds up the download of the schema data and improves the UI. 

The significant improvements are:

  • Shows the user one level of the child/parent objects at a time. 
  • Expand the tree based on user selection instead of expanding the entire tree.
  • The schema is easily searchable, and objects are easily selectable.

Ability to search records in backup with partially matching values

We have now made it possible to search backups for records selectively using a term that partially matches them. Users can now search backup records with partially matching values instead of using the whole value as the search keyword.

Description field for backup and archive configurations

Users need to understand the details of the config created, and it is helpful for any new member to understand the configs setup and why they were created. As a result, we included the Description box on the Configuration page so that you may describe why you created the backup and archiving configurations. This description field can also be seen on the Config Summary screen. 

Improvements

  • Improved pagination to reduce page load times across the modules.
  • Minor performance, bug fixes, and security improvements can also be observed in the Vault portal.

Release: 26 April 2021

For our customers in regulated industries with extended needs to meet compliance and security auditing standards – Now Vault is fully available for on-premises or in-your-cloud deployment and use of on-premises storage (including SANs). These new deployment and storage options give you complete control of the environment where Vault is deployed, and your data sets are stored.

New Features

On-premises or “in-your-cloud” deployment

Now Vault can be deployed where you need it to be. You have the choice of our AutoRABIT hosted and managed SaaS deployment, within your premises or at a cloud location of your choice (Private or Public Cloud). Contact your sales representative if this is something your organization would like to pursue.

On-premises storage from your AutoRABIT hosted Vault

We now support on-premises as well as cloud storage. Host your backups and archives within your premises, at your DR sites, or within a cloud environment. And get all the control you need to meet the extended security, compliance, and risk reduction needs of regulated industries.

Enhancements

Continued updates to the UI

We’ve continued updates that we started in the UI with our March release. Again – there are no changes to where you’ll find content in the UI – just our updated look and feel with fonts, colors, buttons, and more.

Email notifications with job status in the subject line

Until now, when you received a Vault job status notification from us, you had to read the body of the email to find out what it would refer to. Now you’ll be able to quickly read the status line and select for immediate reading those that most need your attention.

Some button naming changes: Full Restore to EZ Restore – Full Replicate to EZ Replicate

  1. EZ Restore (formerly Full Restore) enables restoration from a backup of all content from a selected backup. No functionality changes.
  2. EZ Replicate (formerly Full Replicate) simplifies all the content from a backup set with just a few clicks. Again, no functionality changes.

Support for additional FinancialForce Metadata types

We’ve added support for some previously unsupported FinancialForce metadata types – (Layout, QuickAction, CustomObject, DuplicateRule).

Retention policy enhancements for Azure  

With our January release, we added the capability to configure the Azure Blob Retention Policy for Azure-hosted backups from within the Vault UI to meet your retention requirements.
