Restorepoint 5.6 20250618 Release

Hello, 

We are pleased to announce the Restorepoint 5.6 20250618 release, which was pushed to Restorepoint appliances today. This release contains the following updates:

  • Added the following options to the Request Settings pane (Administration > System Settings > Security tab) to allow you to configure the maximum body size for requests. These new option enhance system security:
    • Max body size (in MB)- Sets the maximum requests for body size for all requests.
    • Max file size (in MB)- Sets the maximum file size for requests that upload files.
  • Updated the Alerts settings on the Logs/Alerts tab so the Email From field value is always prefixed with the "no-reply" username to ensure that users can only alter the domain name that Restorepoint will use to send email.
  • Updated the Security page (Administration > System Settings > Security tab) to include the SSH Keys pane so you can upload or generate new appliance SSH keys.
  • Added the following plugin updates in the Restorepoint user interface:
    • Device details now show default plugin options if those options appear in the DefaultData for a plugin.
    • Device configuration types (Devices > Edit Device > Configurations) that are configured as defaults in the plugin now appear with a preselected checkbox.
    • The default Backup Port field on the Connection tab (Devices > Edit Device > Connection) uses the default port for the plugin unless it does not exist. If the default port does not exist, you can use the default port value for the protocol, which is shown as a placeholder when the Backup Port field is empty. (Case: 00517698)
  • Updated the Create Agent API to include an Address field.
  • Updated the Global Search user interface so the default value for the LimitVersion field displays "Last Version". This update also applies to the LimitVersion drop-down menu and the default "Last Version" is displayed when the LimitVersions field is omitted in the API.
  • Addressed an issue that caused an error message to appear when users with limited access opened the View Device Configuration page. (Case: 00521451)

Thank you,

    • Updated the Alerts settings on the Logs/Alerts tab so the Email From field value is always prefixed with the "no-reply" username to ensure that users can only alter the domain name that Restorepoint will use to send email.

    May I ask the reasoning behind this change? We had specific email addresses allotted for our multiple Restorepoint appliances, of which our support teams could easily distinguish between them - especially from a reporting standpoint. Many of them had email rules to move to folders that all need adjusting now. 

  • Good morning! 

    According to the team, this was a security enhancement, as previously you could spoof email addresses using the email From field with the broadcast feature on Restorepoint. 

    I hope this helps,
