Version 1.20, Apr 23, 2008

News

• Substantially faster Restore + other minor speed improvements

• Better report in the Verify procedure:
  Registry and similar files are marked as "frequently changed" so that the user is not tempted to do unnecessary updates.

Fixes

• Problems with restoring emails on some devices

Version 1.11, Apr 10, 2008

News

• Critical: It is possible to restore e-mails within full restore (previous version needed a rather complicated procedure)
• New option not to use encryption for known files (e.g. exe, dll). Gain on speed, plus (theoretically) increased safety.
• Improved treatment of the password changes
• Restore after a hard reset does not check the registration

Fixes

• Power off after reset (if set up in the settings) could switch off the PDA too early leaving it in incorrect state

• Better treatment of inaccessible files/folders

Version 1.10, Mar 26, 2008

News

• First official release
• WARNING: Format for AES encryption changed for the compatibility reasons with WinZip.
  Please, delete old AES-based backup sets - they are unreadable.
• Small improvements and fixes

Version 1.03 BETA, Mar 20, 2008

News

• Redesigned backup selection. Only folders are shown now.
  WARNING: All old projects with custom selection will be set to default selection.
  Please check and fix the selection for your existing projects.

• Restore: There is nothing selected in partial selection by default.
• Backup sets store the information about the device and OS version. In case the backup set is used on another device, you get a warning about possible incompatibility.
• Option to remove files from device which are not included in the backup in case backup was created from full device selection. (Does not work for backup sets created with previous Resco Backup versions.)

Fixes

• Predefined projects incorrectly stored selection if the “Selection” tab was not opened during setup.
• Device is turned off after soft reset after backup, if this feature is set in the Scheduler Options.

Version 1.01 BETA, Mar 07, 2008

News

• Backup of card files possible

Fixes

• Inaccessible folders won't stop backup but rather they are reported at the end
• Scheduled backup did not work for the card installation on some devices.
  The solution:
  Resco Backup installs small "wake-up" utility into RAM that assures that the card application receives needed notifications. (This "wake-up" application is not yet signed, hence you get a warning from the OS.)
• Problems with Pocket Informant database solved
• Stopping applications won't freeze the device anymore
