xAgent 0.0.8.beta is now available. This release extends storage governance beyond where files live to how data is backed up, how an instance recovers after a failure, and how external storage is made available to users. It also improves file reuse in sessions, multilingual Skill governance, and local storage cleanup.

The headline change is online incremental backup. Backup jobs can run while xAgent is serving users, and restore data can be downloaded and verified online. Only the final data-directory cutover requires downtime.

A self-hosted backup needs to answer more than whether bytes reached remote storage. It needs to show that the data can be restored, how much downtime restoration requires, and whether a failed cutover can return to the previous state.

xAgent 0.0.8.beta turns those questions into a verifiable procedure: create encrypted incremental snapshots while the service is running, download and verify restore data online, switch directories after shutdown, then confirm or roll back.
