Backblaze Release 1.0.0.149 and 1.0.0.150

Backblaze has made a new release available and some users are being automatically upgraded. Below are the enhancements in this release:

Release Date: 6/5/09
Windows Version: 1.0.0.149
Mac Version: 1.0.0.150
Auto-Update: Some Users

Minor release to address a few small issues including:

Cloned Drive Primary Drive Selection

A small percentage of (mostly Mac) users that clone their drives were unable to select their primary drive for backup. This is fixed.

Backups Halt Temporarily

A small percentage of users have backups stop for an hour once per day. This is fixed.

Only users that seemed to be potentially affected by these items were auto-updated. All users will get these fixes during their next auto-update.
