Hello everyone. We're having Backup for Mac v 2.5 standalone released soon, MBS version following shortly after.

There was a number of bug fixes, performance improvements and new features coming. I will only list those I consider interesting.
An amount of work is not represented here because it is required for Block Level for Files - that is coming in the next release.


Bug fixes

- Files backed up to cloud with encryption enabled from Mac can now be restored on Windows.
We used to use different methods of writing/checking encryption info on the files.
Backup for Windows v 5.9 now understands both methods.
Backup for Mac v 2.5 now writes both methods as well.
The data itself was and is safe in the storage.

- Overall performance improvements.

- Several "false error" results were fixed.


Features

- Schedule and retention
Added retention option to "Keep number of versions based on backup date"
Added schedule option to "Run missed backup"
Added schedule option to stop the backup plan if it runs longer than set time.


- Logging

Default logging level is now Warning (it was Info previously), and there is a setting for it in all user interfaces.
Logs location is now configurable.
Logs retention period is now configurable.

Numerous minor improvements in what info is available in the logs - troubleshooting is now easier.


- Numerous minor improvements in the app GUI.


- Miscellaneous
Email reports now contain a bit more information.
"Save backup plan configuration" is now available in backup plan wizard.
