Backup4all 6.4, with new actions for Quick Test and Repair

View all posts

A new major update was released, Backup4all 6.4. This new version adds new actions for Quick Test and Quick Repair. You can download it here: Download Backup4all 6.4.

The new Quick Test action will run much faster than the regular Test because it will not verify the CRC of saved zip files. The CRC operation is the most time-consuming action. Right now the Quick Test action will verify if the files exist and if their size is the same. Even without the CRC verification, the Quick Test operation will discover 90+% of errors.

The Quick Repair operation will use Quick Test instead of regular testing as part of the repair process, as opposed of the full Repair operation (that uses Test).
