\"New<\/p>\n

Backblaze has made a new release available and all users are scheduled to be automatically upgraded over the next two weeks. Below are the enhancements in this release:<\/p>\n

Release Date: 6\/8\/09
\nWindows Version: 1.0.1.161
\nMac Version: 1.0.1.162
\nAuto-Update: All Users<\/p>\n

This release is primarily a maintenance release to add system checks and make the service continually more robust in addressing corner cases.<\/p>\n

“Offline” Message Fix<\/h2>\n

Some users have seen a blue notification icon and message saying the computer was offline though they were connected to the internet and backups were continuing. This could occur when users switched between multiple networks (wired, wireless, etc.) While this did not affect backups, Backblaze will show the right message now.<\/p>\n

Computer Clock Offset Notification<\/h2>\n

Backblaze relies on the customer’s computer clock to be fairly accurate in order to properly tag the date files when they are created, modified, and backed up and keep this in sync with files in the data center. This release added a notification if the computer’s clock is incorrect by more than two days.<\/p>\n

Cloned Hard Drive<\/a> Fixes<\/h2>\n

Several small improvements were made to make it easier for users who cloned their hard drive<\/a> to select and unselect drives.<\/p>\n

Uninstall Message Touchup<\/h2>\n

A few users uninstalled and thought this cancels billing. (It actually frees up a license for use on another computer.) A message was added to explain this in the uninstaller.<\/p>\n

Self-Checks for Modifications<\/h2>\n

Some Backblaze installations have seen issues where the user or other software has deleted, modified, or moved files that are internal to the Backblaze service. Added numerous internal self-checks that will automatically fix issues or notify the user.<\/p>\n

Signed Binaries (Mac)<\/h2>\n

Windows binaries have always been signed. Mac binaries are now signed in preparation for Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) release.<\/p>\n

Improved Restore Downloader (Mac)<\/h2>\n

Sped up application to download files selected for restore.<\/p>\n

Enforce Password Compliance<\/h2>\n

Added checks to enforce all new passwords entered do not contain characters that could be misinterpreted by different browsers.<\/p>\n

Changed Log File Names<\/h2>\n

Log files were renamed with unique names (such as “bztransmit01.log” instead of “01.log”) to enable customer to search easier if needed for support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
