As a part of the latest [TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin update, 22.12.2](https://www.truenas.com/blog/truenas-scale-gets-enterprise-features/?utm_campaign=Community%20Newsletter&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_5DlysZmaxJhpE4sdwjPNQgElmMJ-XG8h2eLZm4iZYgvoICYVGE7Tdb2c_LsPX5orxw0NQxxBG3JYLpnK9zNgcuxGMTZ5I3e_pb8KagjFga3DvPss), a new set of apps have been made available in the TrueNAS Catalog. These new apps are also grouped into three “trains”: Enterprise, Official, and Community. ![trains at TrueNAS Catalog](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/TrueNAS-App-Catalog-1024x507.png) - **Community**: The newest App Train. Considered “Community” supported, these Applications will receive periodic help from iX in reviewing changes submitted by users. - **Official**: The primary Train up until this point. Official Apps will be periodically tested and maintained by TrueNAS engineers. - **Enterprise**: Exclusive to TrueNAS Enterprise appliances. Enterprise Apps will be tested and fully maintained by TrueNAS engineers. For full details, including the current list of Apps in the TrueNAS Catalog, check out our blog.

He also explains TrueNAS SCALE’s memory usage. ![memory requirements to run ZFS](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/2023-04-28-13_21_16-Greenshot.jpeg) [Read the Blog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp6g-8VS06M) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ![TrueNAS Plugins](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Future-of-Plugins-featured-1024x536.jpg) ### The Future of Plugins is Apps TrueNAS CORE introduced one of the first generations of integrated applications and storage when “Plugins” were introduced back in 2007. They were subsequently revamped in 2013 and again in 2017. Plugins were then reimagined as “Apps” when TrueNAS SCALE launched in 2022, which TrueNAS CORE users can migrate to when the time is right for them. By 2025, we expect SCALE will have as many, if not more, users than CORE. Until then, iX will provide support for the general Github infrastructure for managing TrueNAS CORE Plugins as well as the following Official Plugins: Asigra, Iconik, MinIO, Nextcloud, Syncthing, Tarsnap, and both the paid and free editions of Plex Media Server. Jails will continue to be supported. Check out the blog for all of the details.

Use the Data Protection menu under TrueNAS SCALE, or the Tasks menu under TrueNAS CORE to set up a Periodic Snapshot Task on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and set a retention period to let you wind the clock back in case of emergency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Links of the Month -
