Xopero ONE & GitProtect 2.3.0: SharePoint, Shared Mailboxes, and Confluence Backup

Version 2.3.0 brings the long-awaited support for SharePoint and Confluence backup. The other new feature for Microsoft 365 backup is the ability to protect shared mailboxes in Exchange Online. 

The current release also includes a number of improvements and enhancements related to data storage management, deduplication, and backup & recovery processes.

Below, you can find a detailed overview of the new features.

Microsoft SharePoint Backup

SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365 is the foundation of team collaboration. Xopero protects sites, pages, documents, lists, and other SharePoint elements to minimize the risk of downtime and financial loss.

You can restore a site and its resources to its original or alternative location. Or create an entirely new one using the data contained in your backup. Granular data recovery allows you to maintain organizational continuity in the event of accidental or deliberate deletion of a specific resource (e.g., a page or file).

Extended Support for Exchange Online: Shared Mailboxes

Xopero ONE and GitProtect enable the backup and recovery of shared mailboxes with the same granularity and reliability as user mailboxes.

That way, you get comprehensive protection for all your organization’s most important mail correspondence in Exchange Online (Microsoft 365).

Confluence Backup Now Available

Confluence is a service from Atlassian that lets you conveniently keep organizational knowledge in one location.

Xopero provides protection for the entire Confluence ecosystem, including spaces, pages, blog posts, attachments, and key metadata.

With per-user licensing, unlimited or flexible retention policies, and granular backup and recovery, protecting your Confluence data becomes convenient and easily scalable.

Support for Jira Issue Keys

Issue keys are unique identifiers consisting of a letter abbreviation defined during project creation (e.g., DEV, MKT, or HR) and a sequential Issue number (e.g., 001, 002, etc.).

With each original issue key restored to a dedicated custom field, Jira administrators can easily restore relationships between issues, track change history, or configure integrations based on issue identifiers.

New Features in DevOps Stack Backup

Code hosting and version control platforms have always been a strong focus for Xopero. That’s why version 2.3.0 brings new features and enhancements in this area, too.

Fast Recovery with Automated Repository Mapping

The mapping panel allows you to automatically bulk-assign repositories from source organization to target one, including in cross-platform recovery scenarios. This ensures that the data recovery preparation phase takes less time and is more efficient.

You can also freely edit the names of target repositories, gaining full flexibility in situations requiring manual intervention.

Support for the Most Complex Issue Hierarchies in GitHub

By supporting sub-issues and custom issue types, Xopero solutions can create faithful copies of even the most complicated issue hierarchies in GitHub.

As a result, you can be certain that after restoring to the same or a different organization, your data will be fully functional and error-free.

Support for GitHub Projects V2 for Enterprise Server

GitHub Projects V2 is a modern work management and tracking tool that introduces functionalities known from solutions like Jira or Trello into the GitHub ecosystem.

Xopero ONE / GitProtect allows you to secure GitHub Projects V2 data and metadata for both the cloud and self-managed (Enterprise Server) versions of GitHub. The goal is to ensure maximum protection for your organization, regardless of how you implemented GitHub.

Major Enhancements

Release 2.3.0 includes the following notable enhancements:

• You can now define your custom temporary folder for Xopero ONE agent data by using the TempFolder parameter in the configuration file. The feature applies to the on-premises deployment only.
• Visual identification of expired authentication data for additional Git service accounts facilitates the management of outdated credentials.
• Improved stability and reliability of S3 object storage and NFS storage types.
• More reliable handling of virtual disks during Hyper-V backups.
• Enhanced deduplication performance and stability when several backup jobs are executed simultaneously.
• Optimization of default Azure DevOps backup settings for faster recovery.
