What's new - Backup for Mac v 2.9.0.112

We are proud to announce the release of Backup for Mac v 2.9.0.112 today.

New features

  • Pre-Backup and Post-Backup Script Execution

This is a way to run a custom script right before/after the backup plan execution.
Functions the same way as in Backup for Windows - specify the script file(s) and go.
Supported in CLI, GUI, WebUI.

Popular use cases:

  • Mount/unmount network shares before/after backup - KB link.

  • MySQL automated backup - KB link.

  • Improvements and Additions to Backup Filters

“Skip folders” filter has been added in the Backup plan wizard,
“Skip files” and “Include files” filters have been improved.

  • Built-in Updates Check for standalone Backup

From now on, this is the recommended way to install updates in CloudBerry Backup.

Supported in CLI, GUI, WebUI

Managed Backup has had a similar feature implemented for long time - although there it is managed centrally, not in the client app.

  • Support for S3 Intelligent Tiering, Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive in Managed Backup client

First of all, this should be enabled (and may be configured) in Downloads > Advanced Rebranding

Storage Class usage may further be set up in Remote Deploy (edit a configuration here) and Remote Management (edit a backup plan here).

Bugs fixed

  • Various UI hanging issues

  • Various inconsistencies of the scheduler work

  • The Backup service is now correctly restarted (when required) on all platforms

  • Files that should be purged due to Retention Policy right after upload are no longer backed up

UX improvements

  • Plan info screen in WebUI has been unified with that in GUI

  • Multiple bad error text improvements

  • Tooltips for different Azure Access Tiers have been added - same as S3 Storage Classes tooltips.
