Changes compared to 25.9.4
New Features
Option to enable user home directory sandboxing on Linux
In Comet 25.9.5, Linux users now have the option to enable sandboxing of user home directories, with Comet backing up each home directory data as the owner of that directory and thus ensuring that permissions and ACLs are fully respected.
Changed block tracking for Proxmox protected items
Changed block tracking (CBT) is now supported for Proxmox Protected Items, allowing for significantly reduced job times when backing up low-churn datasets.
Enhancements
Improved the performance of Comet user APIs, particularly when the server is under load
Comet 25.9.5 brings substantial under-the-hood improvements to the performance of APIs used in regular activities, reducing load on busy servers and increasing throughput of short-lived backup jobs.
Support for running multiple commands in a Program Output Protected Item
Multiple streams of program output can now be combined into a single program output Protected Item, each with an assigned file name to be used upon restore, allowing for related sets of data to be configured and scheduled in unison.
Storage Template support for new Impossible Cloud regions
Storage Templates can now be configured for Impossible Cloud's new West-2 and North-1 regions.
Tags for custom backup jobs
Custom backup jobs started via the API can now have tags specified, allowing these jobs to be identified and retrieved by tag through the job history search in the Management Console and through the API.
Added APIs to get, update and delete Protected Items
API users can now get, update, and delete Protected Items in isolation, without having to interact with the rest of the user profile.
