Introduction

I’m thrilled to announce the latest release of my Azyre DevOps Backup tool – version 1.1.0.0 is now live! 🚀

⏰ It´s to be noted that this is a major update with new features and bug fixes and some changes! ⏰

Here’s what’s new in this update:

Added:

• Added a new tool (AzureDevOpsBackupUnzipTool) to the application, there let you unzip backups from .zip files based on the backup folder with the metadata files (.json), so the backups can be restored for a single project to save disk space vs unzipping all based on how many projects you have to backup, if you only need to restore a single project and not want to unzip the whole backup for all projects:
  • Sample command: .\AzureDevOpsBackupUnzipTool.exe –zipFile “C:\Temp\Test\master_blob.zip” –output “C:\Temp\Test\Test” –jsonFile “C:\Temp\Test\tree.json”
• An option to not attach the logfile to the email report with argument: ‘–noattatchlog‘
• Added support to send email report to multiple recipients with argument: ‘–to‘ – separated by comma

Changed:

• Changed default install folder name (reflects only the installer)
• Changed logfile location in the ‘.\Log’ folder – now in a subfolder the the 2 tools to it not being mixed and supports for cleanup:
  • AzureDevOpsBackupTool.exe: ‘.\Logs\Backup’
  • AzureDevOpsBackupUnzipTool.exe: ‘.\Logs\Unzip tool’

Fixed:

• A lot documentation and help text overall fixed/added

A small side note that I have not a post for build 1.0.6.0 – the changes for this v. is here too:

Fixed:

• Fix an exception has been thrown (Installer bug)
• Fixed some assembly references

Dependency Upgrades:

• Upgraded RestSharp.111.3.0 to RestSharp.111.4.1
