26.8.2 ‘Voyager’ released
· 3 min read
Changes compared to 26.8.1
New Features
Added a Custom code section to the Branding page of the Comet Management Console (COMET-1637)
A top-level administrator can now inject custom JavaScript and CSS into the web interface. Code can be supplied inline or loaded from an external URL, placed in the document head or at the end of the document body, and is applied to the login page and to the web interface of all tenants. The page Content-Security-Policy is extended automatically to permit only the specific code that was configured.


Enhancements
- Added a prompt to the Comet Backup desktop app when a user policy change is made that requires user consent (COMET-59416)


- Storage Vault content statistics measured during a retention pass now use exact on-disk pack sizes instead of index estimates; reported values may shift slightly after upgrading (COMET-60144)
- Reduced memory usage and improved the speed of Microsoft 365 mail backups through batch streaming (COMET-60111)
- Significantly reduced the RAM required to restore or browse a single snapshot (COMET-3533)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Comet Server crashing repeatedly on startup when running without the Authentication role, such as a dedicated Storage Gateway or Cluster Manager node (COMET-60242)
- Fixed a crash in the admin user group retrieval API (
/api/v1/admin/user-groups/get) that occurred when an administrator requested a user group belonging to an organization they did not have access to (COMET-59839) - Fixed an issue with disks and their partitions being listed out of order when first opening the Disk Image selection tree in the Comet Management Console
- Fixed an issue with the backup engine crashing part-way through a restore of a Microsoft 365 Protected Item when restoring a personal OneDrive that has no SharePoint site (COMET-60321)
- Fixed an issue where an invalid Comet Server configuration submitted via the AdminSetServerConfig API returned a generic server error instead of a validation error describing the problem (COMET-1637)
- Fixed an issue with file and Disk Image restores recreating the full original directory hierarchy inside the restore destination. Selected items are now restored directly under the chosen destination folder, and the restore no longer alters the permissions or timestamps of the destination folder itself (COMET-59535)
- Fixed an issue where the first retention pass on a newly-initialized Storage Vault could not run concurrently with backup jobs, repeatedly failing with "Cannot proceed - another task needs to finish using the Storage Vault first" on busy vaults until a fully idle window allowed the first cleanup to complete (COMET-60318)
