PB-3317	Issue: If an application contains non-live PVCs, then the job pod mounts it for backup and if another backup is triggered in parallel, the former assumes that the PVC is live (as it is used by backup job pods). Backups may sometimes fail in such a scenario. Resolution: Portworx Backup validates parallel backups with non-live PVC scenarios and ensures that backups are successful.
PB-3338	Issue: If you were to map a storageclass on the source cluster to the default storageclass of the destination cluster during custom restore, then the storageclass mapping option was ambiguous. Resolution: You can now choose use-default-storage-class option, if the custom restore needs to pickup the default storageclass configured on the destination cluster.
PB-3465	Issue: License page timed out and failed to display license information when no application cluster is associated with Portworx Backup. Resolution: Portworx Backup now displays accurate license information even if no application cluster is associated with Portworx Backup.
PB-3490	Issue: The dependent backups were getting deleted for unsupported snapshot versions in Portworx Backup making some backups unrestorable. Resolution: Upgrade to Portworx Backup 2.4.0 to ensure that the Portworx snapshot version is supported. The upgrade secures and retains the dependent backups.
PB-3494	Issue: KDMP restores failed on EKS clusters if cluster’s Kubernetes version is 1.23 and newer because of unsupported in-tree csi drivers in the specified Kubernetes versions. Resolution: Portworx Backup 2.4.0 takes the correct volume mount path for successful KDMP restores on EKS clusters with Kubernetes version 1.23 and newer.
PB-3637	Issue: Region was auto-selected by Portworx Backup for AWS S3 endpoint, due to which KDMP backups failed without region data. Resolution: Portworx Backup now provides the correct region value to AWS S3 object locations for KDMP backups to be successful.

PB-2050	Issue: Portworx Backup pod logs were flooded with the following message constructing many client instances from the same exec auth config can cause performance problems during cert rotation, exhausting available network connections; clients constructed calling “aws-iam-authenticator” continuously on AWS installations. User Impact: Portworx Backup pod logs filled up with log messages. Resolution: Moved this log message to tracef as part of the client-go module.
PB-2083	Issue: The backup failure timeout message was confusing, since it also includes the Stork installation failure information. User Impact: The error message was misleading with Stork installation failure information. Resolution: Removed the Stork installation failure message from the timeout error message.
PB-2158	Issue: PayG billing information is not being captured in Zuora production server due to missing clusterID and Cluster UID fields. User Impact: Portworx Backup license usage page fails to load. Resolution: Fixed this issue by populating the Cluster ID with subscription ID and Cluster name as Org name.
