What’s New: Latest Innovations from HYCU
Flexible Disaster Recovery for Jira Assets
- Customers can now perform cross-instance recovery for Jira Assets, giving organizations an easy way to move asset data between sites, environments, or Atlassian organizations. This helps teams promote changes from sandbox to production, handle instance restructuring, or manage multi-org setups without rebuilding configurations by hand. The result is a simpler, more reliable process for both planned migrations and restoring asset data during an outage.
- Customers can choose the type of recovery that fits their needs, including configuration-only restores for quick schema updates or full restores that include all objects, attributes, and relationships. This level of control makes it easier to support development and testing workflows, fix issues with precision, and ensure the accuracy of Jira Asset data. These recovery options help teams stay efficient while maintaining confidence in the integrity of their asset information.
Protect AzureSQL Managed Instances
Extend HYCU’s coverage for Azure SQL with protection for Azure SQL Managed Instances. Unify protection of all other Azure, multi-cloud and SaaS workloads in one single view.
Additional layer of encryption, managed by HYCU
HYCU now supports HYCU Managed Encryption for backups stored in Object Storage buckets for all SaaS, IaaS, and DBaaS workloads protected under the SaaS section in the UI. In addition to existing native object storage encryption (including CMEK models), you can now have HYCU handle encryption at the backup layer itself. This provides:
- An extra layer of security for your backup data with every backup having a unique key
- Consistent encryption behavior across all supported workloads
- Simplified key lifecycle management when you prefer HYCU to manage encryption
Enhanced Control Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK)
If you want tighter control over your encryption keys, HYCU now also supports a Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) model for these backups. You can:
- Use your own keys to align with internal security, compliance, and audit requirements
- Integrate backup encryption with your existing key management processes
- Maintain ownership and governance over encryption keys while HYCU manages backup operations
Multi-Tenant Flexibility and Tag-Based Exclusions
Move SaaS sources between Protection Sets. You can now move SaaS sources between Protection Sets from the UI. This helps you realign protection with business units, projects, or SLAs as your environment evolves, without recreating policies from scratch.
Exclude resources from Protection Sets using tags. You can now more easily exclude specific resources from Protection Sets by using tags or labels at the cloud provider level. This allows you to:
- Keep test or non-critical resources out of protection
- Reduce unnecessary backup and storage costs
- Keep protection policies clean and aligned with your governance model
Enhancements to iManage Cloud data protection
- Backup and export of Tabs. You can now back up and export Tabs, preserving the way your team organizes and views content in workspaces.
- Document batching for faster, assured backups. HYCU now supports document batching for iManage Cloud, giving customers the assurance of successfully completing large backups by splitting the backup into smaller batches. This also creates early fully functional recovery points for customers to recover data well before the full backup is completed.
Faster GitHub Backups
Thanks to enhanced data capture (CDC), you’ll now experience significantly reduced backup windows and resource utilization for your GitHub backups.

- Expanded Unified Policy Engine. HYCU R-Shield is now built directly into HYCU’s Unified Policy Engine, so resilience is part of every backup policy, not a separate workflow. From one policy, teams can set RPOs, RTOs, validation, replication, archival, instant restore, and now anomaly detection with R-Shield. Cyber resilience becomes the default, ensuring no workload is left unanalyzed.
