• Local client storage: In addition to Amazon S3-compatible, we have now also enabled the Local Client location option, which saves backups on the remote folder mounted to PMM client host.
• Key UX improvements: You can now create on-demand and scheduled backups from the same window instead of using separate modals. In addition, we have added more icons and renamed tabs columns to better label the actions available behind important options.
