AnyBackup 0.9.6 Released

Hot on the heels of 0.9.5, I've released 0.9.6 to address some immediate deficiencies resulting from the major overhaul of the underlying application.

• File cache layer between SQLite and AnyBackup
• This addresses the lag the can occur when browsing an indexed drive, especially when you have > 100k files across all indexed drives
• Improved search dialog making use of the new SQLite backend
• Search by drive
• Specify search type: Contains, Ends with, Starts With, or pass in a SQL string (i.e. %.mp3)
• Specify file type (directory or file)
• Search dialog is persisted so your input is saved (unless a drive is added or removed -- then the dialog is destroyed and recreated)
• Clicking on a result file no longer automatically displays it in the content pane, instead this has been moved to a popup menu option
• Changed remote indexing port to not conflict with standard XVNC port

AnyBackup 0.9.6 -- As always please note that these are all items I own or have bought in one form or another -- don't sue me. :)

AnyBackup 0.9.5 Released

I've made a lot of changes since 0.9.4 in November last year. I put 0.9.5 up for download tonight, enjoy!

Major changes:

• SQLite
• Super fast
• Less memory usage
• Comparable disk usage
• More flexible
• Externally accessible
• Many minor bug fixes
• Complete / consistent icon pack
• Backup sets
• Thread crash detection
• Logging to homedir so may work on UAC enabled machines
• Super strict UAC settings seem to deny access to network drives, so if you use network drives like me you still might have issues

Not that I've heard from too many people on the app before, but as always, if you hit issues, don't hesitate to let me know or file an issue on the Google code page.

AnyBackup 0.6 Released

I've released AnyBackup 0.6 today!

Changes:

• Resize-able elements
• File sizes are now displayed (in MB) alongside the file names in the browser and result tables
• Result page selector is only cleared at the appropriate times
• Sticky backup mode keeps track of pending write directories to cluster files appropriately
• Windows exe version now comes in an easy to use installer package

For the few people who've discovered it, enjoy! I've been using it regularly for my own backups and it accurately backs up my greyhole pool.

I've had discussions with a friend about how a branch would be approached for linux, it sounds doable, but right now I don't have the interest since my primary concern is Windows where I use the application. If anyone would like to take a crack at it I can explain my ideas. I certainly wouldn't mind any additional python developers helping maintain / improve AnyBackup.
