Backup for Windows 2.22 Release Notes
Article Reference ID: 000272898
Version 2.22.1
Issues Fixed
- Fixed a rare issue that caused Windows Explorer to restart when you right-click an item in Explorer.
- Fixed some issues related to pausing and resuming the backup of a large file several times during the initial backup process.
- Fixed an issue with the initial backup of a large file using an account that is near its storage limit. The software did not complete the backup of the file and it incorrectly reported the account is over its storage limit.
- Fixed an issue where changes to the casing (uppercase to lowercase or lowercase to uppercase) of any letters in a file or folder name greater than eight characters long can cause updates to the file or files in the folder to not be backed up.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the Settings window to take a long time to open.
Version 2.22.0
New and Changed Features
- Backup Software Installation without Product Keys
MozyPro and MozyEnterprise accounts no longer require product keys. You only need your username and password to activate the backup software.
- Improved Efficiency in Backing up Large Files that Change
If a large file is changed while it is being backed up for the first time and the backup software is paused or closed, the backup will now resume instead of starting over the next time the software is running.
- Increased Maximum Bandwidth Throttling Limit
The maximum bandwidth throttling limit has been increased from 1 Mbps to 3 Mbps. This allows users with a faster Internet connection to use more of their network bandwidth while throttling.
- Automatically Back Up Chrome Bookmarks and Additional Versions of Outlook
A new backup set allows you to automatically back up Google Chrome bookmarks, and the email backup set has been updated to back up Outlook 2010 and 2013 email (.pst) files. If you are installing the backup software, you will automatically get the new and updated backup sets. If you are already using the backup software and want the backup sets, you must run Setup Assistant again. To do this, hold down the Shift key and right-click the Mozy icon
in the notification area. Then select Launch Setup Assistant and go through the wizard.
- Automatic Retries When Activating an Account
For organizations using the automatic account activation method, if the account cannot be authenticated, the backup software now automatically retries authenticating and activating up to ten times over the next 72 hours.
- Access to Additional Features through the Command Interface
Administrators now have access to additional installation, activation, and management features through the command interface.
Issues Fixed
- Fixed an issue where if you started using the local backup feature after performing an initial backup, only files that have changed are added to the local backup. Now, all files are backed up regardless of when you start using the feature.
- Fixed an issue where older versions of some files were not being moved to the version history for a local backup.
- Fixed an issue with the Data Shuttle feature. If the backup of a file was paused, the file would be backed up both online and on the Data Shuttle storage device, instead of just the device.
- Fixed an issue where some files that were on an external drive selected for backup using backup sets were not being backed up.
- Fixed an issue for administrators using automatic activation. Previously, if the user's full name contained an unsupported character, the activation would fail. Now, the unsupported character is converted to a supported one in the full name of the Mozy account.
