New Installation Package - 2.5.3 Rev1

We have a new Installation Package,
      Besides of reducing its size from 990K to 770K, introduces more control over the changes the install will create in your computer. Now the user can decide what to do.

Today ABS 2.5.3 RC1 is out! You can get a copy from http://gofile.me/28SxZ/nWwndEOm (link will expire in a month)

Known Issues
ABS will search for updates every minute! This can be deactivated from the menu.
Re-Sync profile is not 100% implemented.
The menu is there but not enabled yet.
We tested the installation in windows XP and seems to work. We still need to test it in Vista, and Win 7.

Best Regards,

Bug Discovered - FIXED 2.5.3 rev1

Hello,
      We have made some progress developing 2.5.3, while doing so discovered and fixed a bug.

Pre-requisites: Backup destination target something like F:\ or E:\, or anything in the root. Delete files option activated.
Behavior: ABS will backup all folders but delete all files. The root path was confusing ABS to think file was deleted from source; therefore, deleting ALL files from destination.

Problem Fixed now this should not happen anymore. It is HIGHLY recommended to upgrade to 2.5.3.

News/Enhancements from the new Build.
  • New menu Re-Sync profiles: now users will be able to re-sync source and destination. This for always on destination/source should not be necessary. However, network locations and USB should definitively need to be re-sync time-to-time.
  • Crash plan is already implemented/working! This will work in conjunction with the aforementioned. If ABS crashed, then source and destination will be re-sync and no need to start backup from scratch.
