Backup for Linux v2.4.0.17 Release Notes

We are going to release Backup for Linux v2.4.0.17 very shortly.

What’s new :

  • HiDPI screens are supported for all original icons in Backup for Linux (for rebranding graphics it’s pending yet).
  • Hidden files/folders in backup plan wizard are finally shown, so they can be selected and deselected.
  • Plan wizard now shows a special status for a directory when only a part of its contents are selected for backup/restore.
  • Remote deploy now can apply configurations to Linux backup clients.
  • Symbolic (soft) links are supported properly (global option for all backup plans), here are the behavior options:
    [list]
    [] Do not back up symlinks (completely ignore),
    [
    ] Back up symlinks only (restore will create symlinks),
    [] Back up original files instead of symlinks (might lead to having duplicates of files in backup),
    [
    ] Back up original files in their original location (even if that’s outside of what’s selected for backup),
    [/list]- We removed false Failed status when a plan ignores sockets, pipes, device files etc.; now the plan status is Warning.
  • Under the hood improvements
  • General usability improvements
