Hey y’all,
OttoFMS 4.10.3 was just released! This version fixes a couple bugs introduced in 4.10.0, as well as adjusts backups and file opening/closing to use the fmsadmin tool rather than the Admin API, as we have found the fmsadmin tool generally more reliable. It also fixes a few other miscellaneous bugs. See the full changelog here.
Check out the updating docs for details on upgrading to this version. Let us know here in the Community if you have any issues with the new version!

fmsadmin CLI to create backups rather than creating a FileMaker schedule
That’s an interesting find that it might be so much faster!! Thanks for continuing to push on the performance @kduval
Making the backups through the API required a minimum of 4 calls to the API (since we were using backup schedules we had to create a schedule, run the schedule, wait for the schedule to complete, then delete the schedule), but the fmsadmin tool is a single call. Due to some issues we had with race conditions in the admin api there were some pauses between parts of that process, which we no longer need while using the fmsadmin tool!
