NetWorker IPv6 update

Backups and restores using Direct Fibre channel for vProxy
NetWorker vProxy backups and restores can now use Direct Fibre Channel.

Improve restore performance with multiple threads
Recover workflow for file system backups has been enhanced to perform restores in parallel. This splits recover requests into multiple recover requests resulting in more than one recover stream.

MailHome can be used to report usage data to Dell EMC

Support for Networker vProxy log aggregation management
NetWorker 19.2 supports the vProxy centralized logging feature which enables you to aggregate vProxy logs in the NetWorker server.  This feature helps in reducing the effort of collecting logs from an individual vProxy.

       NetWorker VMware Integration Guide    - page 133 vProxy Log Aggregation Management Tool

Support for nsrim to mark orphaned save sets as suspect
A save set is orphaned when there is a save set record in the media database, but there is no corresponding data on the disk. The nsrim process has been enhanced to mark orphaned save set records as "suspect".

Compressing the SQLite media database to save disk space on the NetWorker server.
You can free up more space on the server by compressing the NetWorker media database.

        NetWorker Administration Guide  - page 788 Compressing the Media Database

NetWorker REST API enhancements
