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 (Pro): PAR2 support (included as part of Insider Access) |
| New: A profile can be set to only run as part of a group and/or group queue (When > Group Only). Any other run, e.g. its own schedule or a hot-key, is refused and recorded as Not Run (Group Only), which counts as a failure. Adds command line exit code -116. |
| New: Password generators and checkers |
| New: -exportgroup to export a group and all its profiles |
| Updated (Pro): Improve re-connection attempt for Google Cloud Storage for certain socket errors |
| Updated (Pro): Improved scanning performance for detecting which profiles use a secret |
| Updated (Pro): Change for B2 to ignore marker objects that indicate a folder |
| Updated (SE): Integrity Check removed from the group queue right-click menu, as file integrity checking is SyncBackPro only |
| Updated: Much faster file hashing. Verifying is up to about 4.5 times faster and SHA-256 hashing (used by file integrity) up to about 13 times faster |
| Updated: Profiles no longer run if variables in critical places do not expand, e.g. destination folder |
| Updated: When exporting a group profile you are now prompted if you want to also export all the profiles in the group or just the group |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): A profile in a group queue set to Rescan did a normal Fast Backup instead of a full rescan |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): Command line parameters given to a group queue (e.g. -full, -source, -dest, -nofilter) were not passed on to the profiles in it |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): A forced full rescan (-full, or Rescan in a group queue) was lost if SyncBack had to re-launch the profile to run elevated or not elevated |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): Creating or editing a schedule that does not need elevation (administrator rights) showed a Windows UAC prompt |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): On change detection kept running for profile even after deletion |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): Profile variables not expanded in some cases |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): When using parallel transfers, two files could (rarely) be given same temp name |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): With worker threads enabled, restoring a file of 100 MB or more from FTP downloaded it twice and left a temp file in the restore folder |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): FTP: an upload is no longer reported as failed when the connection drops just after the last byte was sent |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): A failed or stopped download from an FTP, SFTP, cloud, SyncBack Touch or MTP location no longer leaves a half-written file, and no longer deletes the existing file it was replacing |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): An empty compressed file on an FTP server is now reported as an error instead of a missing file |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): SyncBack Touch: the "Failed to change NTFS security" warning now says why it failed |
| Fixed (SE/Pro): Errors creating hard links, symbolic links and junction points now show the real reason |
| Fixed (Pro): If connection dropped during multi-part SFTP download, part of restored file could be left blank while the restore reported success |
| Fixed (Pro): When part of multi-part upload failed repeatedly, its temp files were left on the server. Now removed at the end of the run. |
| Fixed (Pro): SFTP (Chilkat and DevArt engines): interrupted uploads and downloads now resume instead of starting the file again |
| Fixed (Pro): SFTP (DevArt engine): a failed download no longer leaves an empty file behind |
| Fixed (Pro): SFTP: when resuming an upload with safe copy off, the partial file on the server is now checked before more is added to it |
| Fixed (Pro): S3, Azure, Google Storage, Rackspace and Egnyte: updating only a file's dates no longer wipes its stored creation date |
| Fixed (Pro): Cloud restores now put back a file's last-access date |
| Fixed (Pro): Office 365: signing in with the wrong type of Microsoft account now explains what to check |
| Fixed (Pro): A rare problem when several cloud transfers refreshed the sign-in token at the same time |
| Fixed (Pro): A possible crash in the 64-bit version when a cloud file lookup failed |
| Fixed (Pro): VBScript and JScript location scripts now receive SHA hash requests (they were never called) |
| Fixed (Pro): Pascal scripts: SetFileVersion now returns -1 when it fails |
| Fixed (Pro): New Profile wizard: a secrets manager reference in the cloud username or password is no longer replaced by the real value |
| Fixed (Pro): The wizards now show a busy cursor while a secret is fetched |
| Fixed (Pro): A possible crash when signing in to Google Storage from profile setup or the New Profile wizard |
| Fixed: Cancelling an email sign-in no longer shows an empty error box |
| Fixed: Screen readers now read the correct hint for each Filters button |
| Fixed: A possible crash when a changed password is applied to other profiles that use the same server |
