Beta Software Warning
BETA versions are pre-release versions. They are untested, unverified and are not official release versions. BETA versions are for users to test to see if a bug that is affecting them has been fixed. They may also contain new features or changes that some users may want to test first.
BETA versions are not always available, e.g. just after a new version has been officially released. Also, the version numbers may be different, e.g. there may be a newer version of SyncBackPro as a fix may only be relevant for SyncBackPro.
If you find a bug in a beta version, please submit a support ticket with details (please do not forget to include the BETA version number). BETA versions are sometimes released frequently, even hourly.
SyncBack V12 BETA
| New: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 without SP1 are no longer supported. On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, SP1 is required. |
| New: Ask A.I. shortcut: press Ctrl+F1 in any SyncBack window. Nothing is sent anywhere: the question is only copied to the clipboard. |
| New: Email a Support Ticket now lets you choose: write the email yourself, ask your AI assistant first, or have your AI assistant help you write the request in English. The text for your AI assistant is only copied to the clipboard. |
| Updated: Dark style tooltips now have a lighter background and a visible border |
| Updated: Password Backup (Insider Access) improvements: the window now explains why it opened, and marks the passwords that still need backing |
| Updated: Dropbox, Google Drive (SyncBackPro), and Gmail now uses PKCE. Thanks to security researcher kta1kri for reporting this issue |
| Updated: Dropbox and Box: Signing in to Dropbox or Box no longer requires copying and pasting an authorisation code. SyncBackPro now receives the code directly from your browser |
| Updated: Log now reports files and folders that exist in both locations under names that differ only in Unicode form (usually names with accents created on a Mac or on a NAS used by Macs). SyncBack treats these as different files |
| Updated: Email a Support Ticket now fills in your SyncBack and Windows versions, the selected profile's type, its last result and up to 3 file errors from its last run |
| Fixed: On scheduled runs, profiles using UNC path with username and password could cause a failed Windows logon (Event 4625) on the server before SyncBack connected with the profile's credentials |
| Fixed: When a profile is set to run when files change on a network share, SyncBack now connects with the profile's username and password before watching the share (SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro) |
| Fixed: FTP (DevArt): giving the error "FTP Error=202 (seFTPServerError (265): 202 UTF8 mode is always enabled. No need to send this command)" |
| Fixed: Email a Support Ticket cut the subject short if the description contained & or #, and lost line breaks in the email |
