WinBackup 2.1.2 Release Upgrade

WinBackup 2 is the home and business backup solution that guarantees 100% reliability and superior performance, while minimizing total cost of ownership!

The latest upgrade release with bug fixes and WinBackup Outlook Agent.

2nd December 2005 - Uniblue Systems, a leading provider of backup and recovery management software for the SoHo and SMB market, today announced an upgrade release to WinBackup 2.1.2 - this release aims at fixing previous bugs and launching an updated version of the WinBackup Outlook Agent.

The Outlook Agent Feature of WinBackup is an alternative to the Outlook Shortcut in WinBackup and allows users to gain actual control over the data contained within in their Outlook PST and OST files. This feature is available only in WinBackup Professional.

Access to the WinBackup Outlook Agent is mainly through the Select Files for backup feature within WinBackup - through this feature users can select single or multiple emails that need to be backed up and/or restored. The new version of WinBackup Outlook Agent is much faster and allows more manageability to users. Refresh rates have been improved and WinBackup now automatically shuts down Outlook to ensure that all your emails are backed up and are restored with 100% efficiency.

Other fixes include refresh rates when search for files, upgrading the select files engine, improving the graphical user interface. For example, right-clicking on the WinBackup Life-ring calls up the WinBackup Quick Menu that allows users to:

  • Open WinBackup: running this command will open WinBackup.
  • Kill a Backup Process: running this command will kill the current backup process.
  • Disable (or Enable) the Scheduler: running this command will disable the WinBackup Scheduler Service (wbscheds.exe). If the Scheduler service is enabled in the Windows Services, the menu will display the command "Disable Scheduler" whereas if the Scheduler service has been disabled, the menu will display the command "Enable Scheduler". This command will install or uninstall the service in Windows and not just start or stop it. This command has been introduced to make access to the Scheduler service easier, especially when users would like to clean the log files, perform manual updates etc..
  • Exit: running this command will exit the WinBackup Tray-bar application (wbtray.exe).



The latest release also includes the relevant additions to the manual and help system to continue in the tradition of Backup Made Easy™.
