November 18, 2024
- Automated Detection of Veeam Backup & Replication Configuration Settings: A new auto-discovery feature will make the process of connecting Bocada Cloud to Veeam Backup & Replication systems faster and easier. When the Bocada Cloud data collection agent is installed on the same machine as the Veeam Backup & Replication application, users will be able to auto-populate the configuration fields with a click of a button.
- Configurable chart & graph widgets on Dashboards: Users can now change the time period for the Backup Success / Failure pie chart and bar graph widgets that display on Dashboards. For example, a user can change the bar chart to show 10 days of data instead of 7 days by default. To access this feature, click the Gear icon at the top right of the Main Dashboard. Users can make a single change to all Dashboards or change one individual Dashboard at a time; they can also easily revert back to default settings.
- Various enhancements were made and issues resolved in the following areas:
- Bocada Cloud Data Collection Agent is now compatible with PostgreSQL databases using Windows Authentication
- Fixed issue of missing Organization names in the Executive Summary & Job Trends reports
- Improved the integration of Bocada Cloud with the Azure Marketplace to pay for a Bocada Cloud subscription

October 18, 2024
- AI-enabled Potential Missed Backups Report: Bocada Cloud released a new report in beta that uses AI to identify potential "missed" backups (backup jobs that didn't run when they should have) based on collected backup history and other factors. Users can adjust the AI model's probability percentage up or down to view more (or fewer) possible missed backups, as well as enter feedback about the accuracy to help the model learn over time.
- Configurable Dashboards: Users can now edit the layout of a Dashboard to drag and drop dashboard widgets into any position, and then save those changes to one or all dashboards. Click the Gear icon on the top right of any Dashboard to open the "Edit" mode and click on the widget's header to drag and drop it into a new position. Users can also revert to the default Dashboard layout as well.
- UI-UX and Performance improvements: Enhancements were made throughout the product's UI to improve usability. Additionally, performance improvements were implemented to the HaloPSA ticketing integration, as well as the Acronis Cyber Protect, Cove and Veeam Backup & Replication connectors.
