Enhancements

Connectors

• Commvault: Improved Copy Job collection performance for reduced collection duration in environments with high Copy Job volumes.
• NetBackup: Improved handling of environments renamed from Veritas to Cohesity so that resource names resolve correctly following the vendor transition.

• Veeam Backup & Replication: Multiple reporting improvements, including cluster-level and policy-specific compliance results, refined Backup Copy job reporting, and improved Resource Audit classification.

Inventory Audit Reporting
