Version History

Version 2.22 | Apr 30, 2009

• Scheduler fix (better resolution of the phone conflicts)
• Updated RBackup log version (Part of the zip installer; log is accessible from the menu)
  • Log version traces scheduler problems; it does not help with the manual backup.
  • Check the About dialog to find out which version is installed.

Version 2.21 | Apr 1, 2008

• Centro compatibility plus a few small improvements

Version 2.20.1 | Oct 24, 2007

• Bug fix: Occasional crashes in pinning backup sets

Version 2.20 | Oct 24, 2007 (The version numbering was synchronized with Resco Backup Pro.)

• Main screen
  • Status icon (ok/error) for the last backup set. (Tap the icon to get the status report.)
  • Unintended button presses eliminated. Could happen e.g. with multiple taps on the progress Abort button. (They could actually mean abort + press of the underlying New Backup button.)
• Backup Sets dialog
  • Modified design (less used features are under the combo box Actions)
  • Possibility to assign icons and notes
  • First line of the notes - when nonempty - is displayed in place of the date
  • Backup set error state is marked by red color
  • A backup set can be pinned. This means the backup set is taken out from the scheduler update mechanism (scheduler performs cyclic update of a given number of backup sets), i.e. such backup set can be updated only manually.
• Restore
  • Partial restore starts with all files unselected
  • Restore preserves original DB dates
  • Improved DB recognition in 'Select Applications'
• Diff dialog
  • Possible delete of the RAM databases that are not present in the backup set.
  • Handy feature when you want to clean newly installed app(s).
  • Delete of RAM-only databases implies also delete of the preferences belonging to the deleted applications.
• Other news
  • Scheduler: Disallow if battery is weak (set the threshold in the scheduler options)
  • Battery level is not checked if the device is plugged in.
  • Allowed backup to NVFS drives - with appropriate warning because of loosing backup sets on hard reset. Allows e.g. backups while using WiFi card.
  • Encrypt known files in Project Setup dialog: Public data (e.g. downloadable applications) need not be encrypted. It is faster so and even safer - prevents plain text attacks.

Version 2.01 | Apr 2007

• NEW! in v2.01
• Separate backup of Contacts, Phone data...
• Basic mode with easier interface
• Enhanced restore
• Better scheduler

Relation to the Resco Explorer

Resco Backup builds on the Explorer technology and brings it one step further by introducing backup clusters. This is a technology of merging limited number of smaller databases into one unit. This technique brings higher speed (gains up to 30%), but still retains the ability of flexible incremental backup.

Backup sets created by Resco Backup can be accessed (even edited) by Resco Explorer or another zip programs.
