Hi, below are features included (some already available in V1.0.x QPKG):
● Supports manual and scheduled backup or restore with flexible options (periodical, run at, run after another job)
● Supports full and incremental backup (uploading only changed or new files)
● Supports flexible file filtering using type, date, and size
● Supports SSL transfer encryption and client-side AES-256 encryption (data at rest is also encrypted)
● Supports file compression for cost saving and efficient data transfer (configurable level and not to compress already-compressed files)
● Supports reserving deleted files in the cloud and configurable retention periods (clean up your deleted files of backed-up data in the cloud)
● Supports preserving advanced ACLs and extended attributes (they will be applied to restored data)
● Supports detecting sparse files (storing only valid data parts in the cloud)
● Supports cloud archival mode (cleaning up local files after backup)
● Supports concurrent job execution and fast multi-threaded data transfer (transferring multiple files at once)
● Supports per-account bandwidth throttling with configurable duration (separated upload/download speed and can throttle only during week days)
● Supports restoring directly from the cloud for disaster recovery scenario (you may retrieve folder structure first and choose which folder to restore later)
● Supports configurable network error recovery options (timeouts, retries counts, ...)
● Supports managing multiple cloud accounts
● Supports dashboard for job status and statistics (a quick overview and provide the estimated finish time by tracking the recent data transfer rate)
● Supports job activity logging for tracing history of status and statistics (to know how much storage and bandwidth used per run of job)
● Supports alerting when using too much storage or taking too much time
● Supports flexible selection for container and folder as backup destinations
● Supports special cloud regions: Azure China

Reminder:
1. Please run some simple backup restore tests to make sure the feature behaves as you expect. Feel free to contact our helpdesk to know more details.
2. You may configure the regions and availability options of your cloud storage when you create a storage account on Azure dashboard.
