# PingDirectory suite of products 9.2.0.4 (November 2023)

## Faster server backup and recovery

Improved DS-45157 PingDirectory

We significantly improved the performance of critical disaster recovery operations, reducing both maintenance overhead and downtime, if you need to recover a server. You can now create server backups, restore from a backup, and initialize an online replica in less time.

## Fixed an issue with Changelog Password Encryption in replicated environments

Fixed DS-48205 PingDirectory

We fixed an issue where the Changelog Password Encryption plugin wouldn't work properly in a replicated environment if you changed a password using a Password Modify extended operation. The password change is now propagated to all replicas.
