With a strong emphasis on **reliability**, **traceability**, and **user control**, this release introduces smarter scheduling, deeper logging, streamlined UI workflows, and multiple upgrades designed to make routine operations more predictable and efficient. * * * ## Key Updates - Unified Maintenance and Backup UI with Environment Matrix - Day-specific Maintenance Scheduling and Flexible Exclusions - Smart File Space Checks and Optimized Default Maintenance Timings - Runtime Uninstall via Portal - Expanded Logging and Maintenance Alert Integration in Daily Brief - Numerous fixes to improve stability and error resilience * * * ## ➡️ New Features ### Unified Maintenance & Backup UI – Environment Matrix A redesigned interface in the DB24 Portal now offers a matrix-style overview of all SQL Server instances, presenting backup and maintenance coverage at a glance. - Administrators can easily identify missed tasks, coverage gaps, and failed operations - The Backup section now has its own dedicated Portal space for improved access and navigation * * * ### Day-Specific Maintenance Scheduling Schedulers now support customized time windows per weekday. - Enables separate configurations for weekdays and weekends - Allows better alignment with business hours and maintenance policies * * * ### Flexible Maintenance Exclusions Administrators can now exclude specific databases, indexes, tables, and operations (for example backups, index rebuilds, or integrity checks) using fine-grained exclusion rules. - Reduces operational noise - Improves precision and control over routine maintenance * * * ### Smarter and Granular File Space Checks - Volume-specific thresholds are now supported - A **lowest-wins** logic applies when overlapping configurations exist - Context-aware checks ensure the correct volume is evaluated per operation This significantly improves protection against space-related failures. * * * ### Optimized Default Maintenance Schedule Default maintenance jobs are now staggered to improve resource utilization: - **GoodNight:** 22:15 - **SizeProtect:** 22:50 - **Index Maintenance:** Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday at 23:00 - **Integrity Checks:** Monday / Wednesday / Friday / Sunday at 23:30 This ensures minimal overlap and a smoother out-of-the-box experience. > **Note:** Existing configured start times for these jobs will be overwritten. * * * ### Remote Uninstall of Runtimes via Portal - Administrators can remotely trigger a Runtime uninstall directly from the Portal - Removed Runtimes are automatically hidden from the UI and excluded from all operations * * * ### DB24-Tagged Backup Jobs All DB24-initiated backups are now explicitly tagged with **DB24** as the vendor. - Improves audit clarity - Simplifies ownership and accountability tracking * * * ### Consolidated and Unified Runtime Logging - All runtime logs now follow a standardized format - Logs are consolidated under `log.Runtime` This improves traceability and diagnostic capabilities for both DB24 teams and customers. * * * ### Maintenance Alerts Included in Daily Brief Daily Brief emails now include warnings extracted from runtime logs. - Provides early visibility into issues such as disk space shortages or failed jobs * * * ### Granular Disk Space Warning Configuration Disk space warnings are now configurable **per instance**, replacing the previous global threshold model. * * * ### Standardized Transaction Log Backup Naming Transaction log backups now use the `.trn` file extension instead of the generic `.bak`. * * * ### Patch Advisor Links to Microsoft Documentation Clicking a patch entry in the Patch Advisor now opens the official Microsoft documentation for that patch. * * * ### Housekeeping Optimized for Large Environments Housekeeping tasks are now dynamically throttled for environments with more than **50 databases**. - Reduces overhead - Adjusts frequency of operations such as database memory usage checks * * * ### SizeProtect Logs Visible in Portal Maintenance logs related to **SizeProtect** are now captured and displayed directly in the Portal, improving transparency and traceability. * * * ### Dynamic Notification Sender Configuration - Email sender address is now configurable - If not set, DB24 uses a consistent default sender instead of server-specific names * * * ### Improved Installer Feedback Installation failures now provide more detailed and actionable error messages, particularly for connection-related issues. * * * ## 🐞 Bug Fixes ### Resolved Backup Failures from Global Temp Table Conflicts - Replaced the shared global temporary table `##BackupStandardPath` - Introduced isolated tables per job type to avoid conflicts during parallel backups * * * ### Improved Full Backup Stability During Housekeeping - Backup and housekeeping operations no longer conflict - Deferred DBInfo updates eliminate contention - Added retry logic to mitigate concurrent access issues * * * ### Maintenance Jobs Handle Read-Only Databases Correctly - Read-only databases are now automatically excluded from maintenance operations - Reduces error noise and improves job resilience * * * ### Canvas View UI Fixes - Long shared volume names are now truncated for improved readability - Fixed incorrect storage metrics for offline or unreadable databases * * * ### Installer Username and Password Validation Fix - Corrected internal logic to ensure proper credential validation during installation [Previous Version 2025.4 ](/docs/version-2025-4)[Next Version 2025.2 ](/docs/version-2025-2)
