Aerospike Backup Service 3.3.0 release notes
August 21, 2025 | Download
This release adds support for Aerospike Database 8.1, adds a new configuration parameter, and implements improvements to performance, usability, and reliability.
For additional details about fixes, improvements, and maintenance in this release, see the release page on GitHub.
New features
- A new configuration parameter,
parallel-write, enables finer control over performance by changing the number of threads used for writing backup files. By default it is equal toparallel.
Breaking changes
- TLS configuration validation is now stricter. ABS rejects incomplete or inconsistent TLS settings at startup. Some configurations that were accepted in other versions, but were not fully valid, may now fail validation. Review your TLS settings to ensure that all required certificate, key, and CA parameters are provided correctly.
- Storage configuration removed from
RestoreTimestampRequest. Clients can no longer include storage configuration in restore requests starting from this version. Storage details are read from the routine instead, and including a storage configuration in the request now returns a validation error.
Improvements
- Backup reader now ensures that no more than the specified number of concurrent threads are scanning simultaneously.
- Handling of missing routines, full backup counters, and race conditions in config application.
- Improved error handling and logging.
- Bandwidth limiter update for more predictable throughput.
- Dependencies updated to incorporate the latest security fixes.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug in which the retention manager could delete old backups in rare cases.
