NEW: (#27283) Sesam Disaster Recovery from Si3 store: Create full DB bootstrap if 'DB:tasks.backup_srv_options' contains 'bootstrap_format_full'. Overwrites setting from 'sm_conf_bootstrap_format'
BUGFIX: (#34478) Nutanix backup removes temporary volume group at the end of backup
BUGFIX: (#34098) Generative restore of a path backup fails with ‘No data has been restored!’. Solution: Since Fix #31463 ‘Restore of a single file overwrites the parent directory’, the restore of the parent directories is called with ‘-o over=file’ when restoring a single file in ‘Overwrite’ mode. If the directory structure still exists, no data is restored, e.g. for a FULL saveset with only parent directories. Logic improved.
BUGFIX: (#34465) Added sbc_proxy option -a srcpool= If backup of a Proxmox VM was done with Sesam version that used Proxmox pool name to set session job source and pool name was different than Proxmox data store name, then using this option during restore fixes restore that would otherwise fail
