It looks as though I was wrong to think that this was a Windows agent version. It I presume is a management portal version instead that was dated 20-Nov-2025. Not sure why I received an email about this today.

Hello Jim. You are absolutely correct, the Managed Console 8.8 was released on 20 November and it's the web console update, not the backup agent. I'm sorry that you received this email with such a delay. I'll check on our side what could be the reason.
This is the change log from our documentation for this release:

Features

• Storage usage report:
• The redesigned Storage usage has been introduced.
• The storage usage summary for a specific company is now available.
• Audit Log: You can now receive email notifications about selected event types.

HaloPSA integration:

• Added a possibility to configure ticket settings
• RMM ticket management is now supported
• RMM ticket now can be created for HaloPSA as RMM alert post-action. This should be configured in RMM alert profile.

Improvements

• Backup plan wizards: Added more comprehensive retention policy steps to help users select the most suitable retention settings.
• Single-Sign-On support: enhanced login window with added 'Keep me signed in' control.
• Added a possibility to resolve administrator login issues by provider support team. This functionality requires the Support and troubleshooting email specified on 'Settings > General' in the 'Additional emails' area.
• Tag colors are now supported in Group Action Task wizards and RMM Alert Profile wizards

Resolved Issues

• Backup history: Fixed an issue where some backups that were not scheduled to run on weekends were incorrectly showing a "Running" status on Saturdays and Sundays.
• Azure VM storage account: Fixed an infinite approval loop when adding an Azure VM storage account.

Thank you!
