DPX 4.15 expands the capabilities available through the DPX web interface, improves VMware backup management, and adds encryption and key-management controls.
The release brings NDMP backup and recovery to the web console, adds VMware protection based on vCenter tags, and supports encrypted virtual machines. It also adds encryption for VMware cloud archive jobs and new vStor controls for key management, snapshot protection, and recovery.
DPX administrators can manage NDMP nodes and create, edit, run, and monitor NDMP backup and restore jobs through the web interface.
These workflows were previously handled through the legacy Java interface. Their addition to the web console gives administrators one place for more of their daily DPX work.
DPX backup jobs can select virtual machines using one or more VMware vCenter tags. When a VM is assigned a selected tag, DPX includes it in the backup scope automatically.
This lets protection policies follow an organization’s existing tagging structure and reduces the work needed to maintain lists of individual VMs.
DPX 4.15 supports backup and recovery of VMware virtual machines with encrypted virtual disks. The restored VM does not retain the original VMware encryption policy automatically. Administrators must reapply the appropriate policy and use a configured KMS when the recovered VM must remain encrypted. See the DPX VMware encryption documentation for details.
Agentless VMware archive jobs can encrypt backup data before DPX writes it to a cloud or S3-compatible storage target. DPX handles encryption and decryption, giving administrators a consistent control that does not depend on the destination’s native encryption features.
Open Enterprise Server node management is now available in the DPX web interface. Aggregated event notifications can also include a PDF attachment with the event details, allowing operations teams to review them outside the console.
Job Monitor includes an option to keep running jobs visible. DPX also shows the original backup job name with double-protection jobs and adds tape media names to the Job Summary and Daily Overview reports.
vStor supports KMIP-compatible key-management systems. Administrators can configure a KMIP keystore through the UI or CLI and migrate keys between supported keystore backends.
This supports external ownership of encryption keys and clearer separation between backup administration and key management.
Deletion-lock settings can be configured for individual vStor volumes. New snapshots created for a protected volume inherit the selected policy, allowing teams to match snapshot protection to a workload’s retention requirements.
Volume permissions can grant named users access to SMB shares, giving administrators more precise control over data exposed through a share.
Image mounting runs as a background task with progress and outcome reporting at the disk and filesystem level. The workflow reports partial success when only some filesystems can be mounted and can create mounts from snapshots offloaded from primary vStor storage.
Administrators can restore raw files from mounted images directly to an SMB destination without packaging them in a ZIP archive. This removes the extra storage and processing needed to create and extract an archive during file-level recovery.
Updated relationship workflows provide better filtering, clearer partner and schedule information, and stronger session visibility. Volume and replication views also include the new session table.
