Changes compared to 25.3.1
Enhancements
Linux recovery environment ISO can now be built without Docker on Linux
Creating the Linux recovery environment ISO using Comet Backup on a Linux endpoint can now be done without requiring Docker to be installed. This simplifies the install requirements to build the Linux recovery environment and also reduces how long it takes to build the recovery environment.
VMware Protected Items configured using Changed Block Tracking can now fallback to a full backup
VMware Protected Items that have been configured to use the Latest VM state (Changed Block Tracking) mode will now fallback to performing a full VM backup when Comet detects that more than 50% of the disk has changed. This speeds up the backup peformance when large parts of the VM has been modified.
