Kudos for the security improvements in the master console password and the ability to prevent deletion of backups from the agent console. I tested it and it works - the delete option is gone.
Oh man! I am grateful for this update. I had all sorts of weird problems with the prior update and this seems to have fixed them all. Especially backing up the encrypted files.
