Backup4all 5.2: Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

View all posts

Backup4all 5.2 is now available and includes several new features, updates and multiple fixes. The user interface is now translated into German too, a long awaited update by German speakers (and we have plans to release other language in the near future too).

The new release also brings some interface refreshments both in terms of changing text (i.e. “New Backup” now becomes “New Job”) and redesigning some sections such as the Notification window.

Another improvement is making it easier for the user to view and organize certain types of jobs. We’ve added a “Jobs with warnings” filter in the Navigation pane, scheduled jobs now show an extra icon overlay-ed on top of the job icon plus you can now see a tag for Scheduled jobs.
