We need JetBackup without AVX,AVX2 flags

If server CPU (only modern CPUs support this flags) not support AVX/AVX2 flags, or flags aren't being exposed to the Virtual Machine, JetBackup cannot be upgraded.

This fact:

1. increases the price of the cPanel server. You have to buy a newer baremetal server with a newer CPU.
2. Install JetBackup to the virtual machine makes it difficult , or impossible IF the root administrators of the parent server not want to eventualy change setup for that VM.

Hello,

Thank you for your feature request. Our developers are currently looking into a solution so that the AVX flags will not be required in a future JB5 update. We do not have an ETA available at this moment and will provide updates as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

The JetApps Team

Hi,


I wanted to clarify the situation regarding the AVX flag. This requirement was introduced by MongoDB, and since our software depends on MongoDB, we needed to align with their specifications. After careful consideration and community feedback, we determined that the best approach is to follow MongoDB's LTS OS release plans.


Starting with Red Hat version 9.0.0 and above, the officially supported MongoDB version is 7.0.0, which does require AVX support. However, based on the feedback we received from the community, we’ve decided that as long as the AVX flag remains optional for older OS releases (like RH 8.0.0 and below), we will align with that.


As a result, the AVX warning will be removed for RH 8.0.0 and below (as well as the corresponding Debian/Ubuntu releases).
