Backup4all 9.7: new permanent activation option and cloud improvements (May 31st, 2022)

Backup4all v9.7 is now available. This is an important update, as it adds a new permanent activation option and includes multiple cloud destination improvements. We highly recommend downloading the update here: Download Backup4all.

What is the new permanent activation option?

By default Backup4all requires periodic re-activation. If your computer is connected to the internet, the reactivation is done without any user input so you do not have to do anything.

However, if your computer does not have Internet access, user input is required for re-activating Backup4all manually. Until version 9.6 these were the only 2 options available.

Starting with version 9.7, it is now possible to choose a permanent re-activation option. If you choose this option and activate the application using it, no periodic re-activation will be necessary. However, your license will have some limitations:

  • licenses that use permanent re-activations cannot be reset
  • you won’t be able to request a refund for a license with permanent re-activations
  • you won’t be able to request an activation reset request for licenses with permanent re-activations (i.e. in case you move to a new computer)
  • no upgrades will be available for licenses with permanent activations.

What’s new in Backup4all 9.7

  • Added: New regions for Wasabi backup destination
  • Added: Option to permanently activate a product key.
  • Added: Backup Plugin for REVE Antivirus
  • Updated: Polish translation for the interface
  • Updated: Multithreading performance for Amazon S3 and Azure online destinations
  • Fixed: File is not a valid boolean value error
  • Fixed: Application stuck during “updating catalog” phase
  • Fixed: Error trying to write more data than space on optical discs

Backup4all 9.1 released, with updates for plugins and new Wasabi servers (July 7th, 2021)

Backup4all v9.1 is now available. This version comes with important features and updates thus we highly recommend the upgrade. It includes new servers for the Wasabi cloud destination, updates for plugins, improved backup job imports, language updates and more. You can download the new version here: Download Backup4all.

What’s new in Backup4all 9.1

Plugin warning notices. We have added an option to display additional information for some backup plugins. Usually these are some warning/limitation notes based on the particularity of that plugin. For instance, Microsoft does not recommend backing up OST files, however the Microsoft Outlook plugin we created does back them up. The difference is that restoring the OST files has some special requirements, which are now shown as a warning. 

Wasabi

Version 9.1 allows you to select which Wasabi server you want to back-up to, as there are 5 different locations available: Wasabi US East 1 (North Virginia), Wasabi US East 2 (North Virginia), Wasabi US West 1 (Oregon), Wasabi US Central 1 (Texas) and Wasabi EU Central 1 (Amsterdam).

Polycloud backup destination. Polycloud offers reliable offsite backup for your data with no hidden fees when you need to access it. We’ve added Polycloud as a cloud backup destination in an earlier build, but the integration is now fully finalized in version 9.1 so you can use it as a cloud destination for your backups.

Backup4all 9.0 released with sources from cloud & remote locations (April 29th, 2021)

Backup4all v9 is now available. This is a new major version with important features and updates thus we highly recommend the upgrade. It includes the option to add backup sources from cloud locations (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Azure, BOX, Hidrive, Hubic and Amazon S3 Compatible destinations), FTP/SFTP, as well as the possibility to have different types of sources in the same backup (for example plugin data, sources from the cloud, from local drives) plus other new features and updates.

You can download the new version here: Download Backup4all.

Here are some of the new features that were added in this new version:

Add backup sources from cloud destinations. Previous versions of Backup4all include the option to save your backup in the cloud with support for over 49 popular cloud destinations. Until now you could only use cloud storage as a backup destination. Starting with version 9 you can use files and folders from cloud location as backup sources. As an example, you’ll be able to back-up files from Dropbox on a different cloud storage service (i.e. Google Drive). You can also add sources from FTP/SFTP servers. This is a great option especially for backup redundancy.

Predefined network connection sources. Backup4all 9 adds support for creating predefined network connections. You can define these as you would define other online connections, and then use them when adding backup sources. This is a great option for backing up multiple computers in the same network that have shared network paths.

Different source types in one backup job. Backup4all now has support for adding different types of backup sources in the same backup job. For instance you’ll be able to add in the same backup job sources from your local HDD, but also from cloud locations or sources from predefined plugins. Older versions of Backup4all had support for adding only one type of source in a backup job, but this changes starting with Backup4all 9.

Full list of changes in Backup4all 9:

  • Added: Backup files from Google Cloud Storage
  • Added: Backup files from Microsoft OneDrive
  • Added: Backup files from Dropbox
  • Added: Backup files from Google Drive
  • Added: Define predefined network connection sources
  • Added: Multiple different source types in one backup job (plugin + cloud + local sources in one job)
  • Added: Backup files from Amazon S3
  • Added: Backup files from Azure
  • Added: Option to use HTTP in case HTTPS fails when checking for updates
  • Added: Backup files from BOX
