  3. Omega Backup

New Features

Resumable In-Private Web Browser (PREVIEW)

When migrating law firms to/from web-based systems, securely managing login credentials and two-factor authentication processes used to be challenging.  In the past, migration specialists would be faced with either:
  1. Instruct the client to disable Two-Factor
    1. OR
  2. Use a secure in-private browser session
    1. But have to deal with repeated two-factor authentication codes being sent to the client's cell phone on each login
  3. OR
  4. Use a less-secure "standard" browser session
    1. And get the ease of use of only having to deal with two-factor once
The latest update to Universal Migrator introduces the concept of a Resumable In-Private Web Browser which combines the best of both options.  When leveraged, an isolated In-Private browser is created specific for that migration project which can be resumed even after the browser is exited.  This increases security for the firm and provides better ease-of-access for the migration specialist and the law firm.

Renamed Tables

__M_CustomField_Categories_Participating_Entities
__M_CustomField_Definitions_Options
__M_CustomField_Presets

If you are doing a delta migration from an older Universal Backup, you should rename the old table to have the new table name prior to running the delta script.
