Change log for v11.10.000:
Client
New Feature: Full Image Backup and Restore - Sometimes called "Bare Metal Restore" or BMR, this feature backs up an entire volume to a local drive, writing its backup file as a standard VHD file that can be directly mounted, if needed. This feature can restore its VHD file to bare metal (a brand new computer,) making it bootable - an exact copy of the original volume.
New Feature: Back up and restore Virtual Machines - VMWare version 8.0 and greater can now be backed up and restored. Backup files can be sent encrypted and compressed, or not encrypted and not compressed. They can be restored at the RBS Server and directly mounted in the Cloud for a super-fast disaster recovery.
New Feature: Back up and restore NTFS Permissions - Added a new option to backup NTFS permissions along with files and folders. While restoring the files with the client restore utility, the permissions for the files are applied automatically. Permission files will are shown as separate in the restore window, and can be restored independently of files.
New Feature: New Exchange 2013 PlugIn - This new PlugIn backs up and restores Exchange 2013 granularly. The Exchange server must be updated to latest service pack.
New Feature: New Email Notification for Drive Missing in Cloud Backup - A new email notification can be sent if the cloud backup location is unavailable at the time of the backup.
New Feature: NetReady - We have added a new option for scheduling backups called NetReady. When selected, the Client software will monitor the network connection and start a backup as soon as it finds the Internet. This was added to support laptops that travel and are connected only intermittently, and may not be left on overnight.
New Feature: Dynamic Localization Settings - The multi-Language module has been replaced with one that makes it much easier to change and add languages. New languages can now be added simply by editing INI files. Currently supported languages are English US, French Canadian, German, Hungarian, Albanian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
New Feature: New email notification when Cloud Backup location is unavailable. - This email is triggered when Cloud Backup is selected, and the Cloud location is unavailable.
Mod: Changed the default bandwidth throttle for the RBS Client to 50 MBPS.
Mod: Changed BitBackup Options Read-Only - BitBackup related options are disabled if the backup type is set to Full, Incremental or Differential. These options are now enabled only when the BitBackup backup type is selected.
Fix: Catalog Synchronization with Purge deletes files from catalog when using cloud storage. - Fixed the issues on Manual Synchronization update. Manual Sync would remove the entry from the catalog table even though the files exist in the Local or Cloud location. The issue only happened if the user selected Local only or Cloud only as the backup location. The Client would scan only the server location to sync the catalog entries with the backup files. The new fix will scan the files from Local and Cloud location and do the synchronization.
Fix: XP Pro Run-time error 521: Cannot open Clipboard - Clip board error was sometimes thrown from the Encryption form during new user registration on Windows XP Pro. Applied error handling to resolve the issue.
Fix: Restoring catalog from older version - Query errors. - This issue would appear on the Web Restore or Server side restore utility when the client was using an old version. Automatic database update option was enabled for missing table variables in the current version.
Fix: Restore Interface - Unable to connect to server - Previously restores would sometimes end with errors and no option to resume. This was fixed by applying error traps to resume the failed restore files when the server is reconnected.
Fix: Exchange 2010 Issue - Err:424 Description: Object required. - Fixed the error when connecting to the Exchange 2010 PlugIn.
Fix: Catalog Synchronization with Purge sometimes deleted files from catalog when using cloud storage. - Fixed the issues on Manual Synchronization update. Manual Sync would remove entries from the catalog even though the files exist in the Local or Cloud location. The issue only happened if the user selected Local only or Cloud only as their backup location. Earlier, RBclient would scan only the server location to sync the catalog entries with the backup files. The new change will scan the files from Local and Cloud location and do the synchronization.
Server
New Feature: Account group override - This new feature allows bypassing the Account Group during login authentication. This removes the Account Group from user credentials, allowing a single client installer to be used for all accout groups. Users can now be moved from one account group to another on the Server side without reinstalling the Client or changing its account group settings on the Client.
Mod: Change "Credits" to "Licenses" - We have changed "Credits" to "Licenses" to avoid confusion. Licenses work exactly the same way as Credits. The only change has been in the naming convention.
Fix: CODE: N100 Contact Remote Backup Systems (and other license and activation errors) - These pesky errors started popping up about six months ago and have become worse over time due to increased load on RBS license servers. We have fixed the errors and added capacity to ensure this doesn't become a problem again.
Partner's Portal
New Feature: MSI Installer Option - We have added a new option which makes the Partner's Portal create an MSI installer package when building Client installers.
Mod: Change "Credits" to "Licenses" - We have changed "Credits" to "Licenses" to avoid confusion. Licenses work exactly the same way as Credits. The only change has been in the naming convention.
Fixed problems with the software updates functions which caused some users to get a message, "You have already downloaded this version."
The Backup Sets tab Local and Cloud options are now enabled based on the setup in the Advanced tab. To enable Local & Cloud options in Backup Sets tab, set Local path and Cloud path in the Advanced tab.
Fixed the Status message not showing while creating "New Backupset" in the Backup Sets page.
Added locks for "Cloud Services" in Options tab Client Locks.
Fixed Pause Mode showing twice in Options & Advanced tab. It is now removed in Advanced tab.
Disabled the "Build Installer" button for the second time in the Build Client Installer page. The Build Installer button will be disabled once clicked, to avoid clicking again and again.
Fixed some UI design issues - All textbox & help image moved on mouse click in the Branding tab.
Fixed the Options tab Start Mode, which was not updated properly to the rbackup.reg file.
Fixed the Local Mirror & Cloud status which was not updated properly to the clsetup.ini file.
Fixed the BackupSet tab warning message while disabling the server, which keeped showing even after clicking the Save button.
Fix: Clear the username and passwored fields in the BackupSet tab, when the Local System Account is checked.
Fix: Maintain scroll position during post back of page in all the pages.
Changed the text style "*Your first password is your serial number".
Fixed an alignment problem in the Partner Portal - "Your maintenance has expired! Renew Maintenance".
Fixed an incorrect message, "Your maintenance has expired! Renew Maintenance." Warning message issued on the software upgrades page, reported by a few Partners.
Fixed Client Locks issue in Partner Portal's Client Customization : Options page - Added new locks for VMbackup & Full Image Backup plugins.
Fixed various spelling errors

This release contains a number of fixes and component upgrades, and some new features requested by Partners.
RBackup Client
New Feature: Exchange 2010 Mailbox Backups (several changes) - The Exchange module can now automatically detect and backup new subfolders included with a mailbox (If the mailbox is included in the backupset), Which enables users to exclusively restore a particular sub folder with a mailbox. This feature is turned OFF by default, as it increases the mailbox scanning time by 10%, especially in a mail store with a large number of mailboxes.
To enable this feature set the registry key:
You can now set the Exchange module to automatically scan and Include/Exclude the subfolders with this key:
New Feature: More than 256 character file paths - The Client can now handle file and folder combined lengths of more than 256 characters. The Client can now backup and restore to the original location, even when the original location cannot be accessed by windows explorer because of Windows' limit of 256 characters in a file path.
Fix: Automatic updates for the Client - Changes have been made to force client to check for automatic updates from the RBS Server when the backups are scheduled under the System Account. Now there will be popup message if there is new version of client software available.
Fix: Cannot print encryption certificate - New to 11.9.3, possibly due to a misbehaving rdpclip.exe on system. In rare cases the client throws a run time error 521 while displaying the encryption key.
Fix: SQL differential backups - Sometimes the SQL module did not honor the "Roll forward threshold" settings and continues doing differential backups. Fixed.
Fix: When a network drive is disconnected, it sometimes still shows up in the client advanced interface. - Fixed.
Fix: System State and Active Directory purge settings - In rare cases Active Directory and System State backups did not honor the purge and retention settings. Fixed.
Fix: Client side restore issues with AES 256 encryption files - In very rare cases the Client would fail to automatically restore files encrypted with AES-256. These files could be restored manually.
Fix: Send Diagnostics - Send diagnostics from the client has been updated to send complete logs, along with session information, directly to RBS technicians.
RBackup Server
New Feature: Added a Hard Quota setting. - Now account groups can be set for a hard quota (RBS Manager - Accounts - Edit account.) The RBS Server will not accept backups from any client in the group after the hard quota is exceeded.
New Feature: Reports now show size of backups in the Local and Cloud locations. - The RBS Manager now reports Local and cloud backup details. A new column was added to the User Summary, User Session and User Quota reports.
New Feature: RBSManager and WebManager - Added a feature to remove the client token from the database. - You can now authorize reinstallation of a particular client or clients in account groups. Only authorized clients can reinstall using the same credentials (RBS Manager - Accounts - Edit User - Reinstall).
New Feature: Server side restore can now handle more than 256 character file paths. - RBS Server side restore can now handle file and folder combined length more than 256 char. You can now restore to the original location even when the original location cannot be accessed by Windows Explorer.
New Feature: Manager - Inhibit writing Client installers into the \client\ folder - The RBS Manager now restricts creating client installers to the default Client installer directory (C:/programfiles/RBS Server/Client)
Fix: Web and Disk Restore utilities (rbrestorecontrol.exe) - In rare cases the Web and disk restore utilities failed to work on new machines. Fixed.
Fix: License file not created automatically - Changes were made in the RBS Server license authentication module to speed up the authentication process and stop athentication errors.
Fix: Group disable/enable issued on Enotify - In case of multitenant email notifications, when you set "Use Portal SMTP Service" for any account group, all the account group notifications used the portal SMTP service instead of their own SMTP service.
Fix: Server Side Restore issues with AES-256 encrypted files - In very rare cases the Server would fail to automatically restore files encrypted with AES-256. These files could be restored manually.

This release is fairly major. It fixes a number of issues with all applications, adds better compatability with the latest Microsoft releases and updates, and adds suppport for the new Monthly License Subscription Model.
RBackup Client
New Feature: Added new registry entries to restrict SUSPENDED CLIENTS from hammering the RBS Server. This prevents expired and deleted clients from continuing to try to log in.
MAX_TRIES : This registry key value sets the maximum number of server connection attempts.
TRIES : For each connection failure, the Tries value will be increased by 1. Once the Tries value reaches the max_Tries value, Rbclient will stop trying automatically.
Any successful login, including a Test connection, will reset the value of Tries to zero, allowing the Client to resume attempting to connect to its Server. Any Admin login will reset the value of Tries to zero - the master admin login or the end user's login.
In this release, these key values are not added to the registry. If you want to use them, add them to your rbackup.reg file.
The RBackup Client attempts to contact its Server about every 90 seconds after a failed attempt to log in. So, a value of 1,920 for MAX_TRIES will set the Client to attempt to contact its server for 48 hours before giving up.
New Changes: Text changes on Generate Key for Blowfish encryption method:
Old Text: Enter Number of Characters for Blowfish Key Generation (from 1 to 56 characters) New Text:Important! Enter the number of characters for BLOWFISH key generation (from 1 to 56 characters) TIP! Our default is set to 16 characters, this would be a safe selection if you are unsure what to input.
Fix: Sometimes the Personal edition Client was not backing up default file selections. This has been corrected.
Fix: Delete files from server was not working for BitBackup backup type and sometimes failed to remove the deleted file info from the catalog. Both the issues are fixed in this version.
Fix: Auto update from Partner Portal was not working. This is fixed in the current version. Auto-update for client will work for clients after upgrading the client to current version.
Fix: Error "Error Invalid procedure call" during the Client purge routine FIXED
Fix: Decryption error during start up for clients installed from Web Manager Sign up page - FIXED.
RBS Server and RBS Manager
New Feature: Added support for Monthly Credits (Licenses) licensing model. This is a new licensing model that can be used as an alternative to our standard Permanent Credits (Licenses) model. See this page for more information on how the Monthly Credits (Licenses) licensing model works.
NOTE: THE PERMANENT LICENSING MODEL WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTED!
When License balance is zero, stop the server and display a message that it is out of monthly Licenses (Credits), with a button to order more. Here is the text of the messagebox:
Your Server has run out of monthly Licenses and cannot continue. Would you like to buy more Licenses?
If YES, browse to: http://remote-backup.com/shop/buycredits.htm
If NO, halt the Server.
Registry key to stop the message popup:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Quantum Tech, Inc.\RBSServer\Settings\ShowMsgCB
Values : 0 or 1 (Default Value is 0)
New Feature: New Option provided to store the Email Notification settings (WMail.ini, EmailSettings.ini) in specific account folders, if the UseAccount registry key value is True. This is turned on if you have the Multitenant Edition of the Web Manager.
New Feature: When the serial number activation failed, the user will get a new message: "Are you moving the RBackup Server from another computer?" with Yes/No button.
Clicking on YES, The user will be redirected to the URL ( http://www.remote-backup.com/move-license.htm ).
Fix: RBS Server sometimes fails to send Failure Email notification. FIXED
Partner's Portal
New Feature: Added Comments icon that will allow the service providers view the comments in the Public download area.

RBackup Client
New VSS Control File - We added support for a new control file called vssmanual.ini to address problems that sometimes happen when backing up huge files that are locked by their applications, especially Outlook and Quickbooks files.

New Product
Bare Metal Backup / Restore - RBSBMR is a fully automated LOCAL bare metal backup solution for Microsoft Windows systems that enables you to backup volumes or complete systems including the Operating System, applications and data with a single click. Restore instantly to any point-in-time within minutes. Your files, volumes or even complete systems can be recovered after any disaster. [more info here]
NEW FEATURES
RBackup Client and Server
Cloud Services Support (Part of your Priority Maintenance Subscription) - The RBackup Client can now optionally do backups and restores using any 3rd party storage provider linked to a mapped folder or drive, like Google Drive. (This feature can be turned on and off by the RBS Partner.) Backups sent to Cloud Services are fully encrypted and compressed, making them secure and compliant, unlike most native backups for the same services.
The RBackup Client can be set to use ONLY Cloud Services, while authenticating to the RBS Server before backups, keeping control of the backups with the RBS Partner. Restores from Cloud Services do not require RBS Server authentication.
Redundant Hybrid Backup (RHB) - With this version we introduce a new feature - Redundant Hybrid Backup (RHB.) The RBackup Client software can now backup to up to three locations at once - the RBS Server, the Local Mirror, and Cloud Services. This allows for greatly redundant backups. If one backup location goes offline, the RBackup Client will still use the others for backup and restore, automatically.
Delete Files Interface - We have added a new Delete Files from Server interface that has all the same file selection features as the Restore interface. It is much faster than the old interface and supports very long filenames. The new Delete Files function deletes from all selected RHB locations.
SQL Conversion Utility - A rewritten SQL Server converter for the RBS Server is faster and now supports all operating systems supported by the RBS Server. The new utility requires installation of MS SQL 2005 or 2008, Express or Full version.
Windows 8 Compatibility - All RBackup Server and Client applications are compatible with Windows 8.
Windows Server 2012 Compatibility - All RBackup Server and Client applications are compatible with Windows Server 2012.
RBackup Version 11.05.008 - Maintenance Release
Release Date: May 23 2012
RBackup Client and Server
Compression module update - Compression module updated to latest version, which enhances handling larger files.
Copy to disk can be initiated from command prompt.
Command line for copy to disk:
[rbClient.exe path] run or
[rbClient.exe path] runc2d$$[BackupSetName]$$[copy-to-disk path]
Note : copy to disk should be already set for this backup set ( Client - Scheduler - Copy to disk)
Fix: Issue with mail level backup on Exchange 2003 and 2007 (Error occurred in creating exchange object -2146233036 Automation Error)
Minor change in Rename Backup Set - When a backup set is renamed the popup window now defaults to current backup set name to make it more clear which backup set name is being changed.
Fix: Fixed scheduler issue, which is seen rarely on windows 7 operating systems.
Fix: Fixed Multilingual issues reported in Advanced and simple interface (German, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, French (Canadian), Italian, Swedish)
Fix: fixed issue with version number update in the client ( Registry and Add/Remove programs)
RBackup Version 11.05.006
Release Date: April 10 2012
Added Exchange 2010 Brick Level Backup/Restore
New Scan/Prep/Compression Engines. Faster file preparation.
The new scan engine is enabled by default. However, there is a registry key to switch back to the old scan engines. To switch, set the following key to False.
"AltScanMethod" - REG_SZ - "False"
The new engine works for FULL, INCREMENTAL and DIFFERENTIAL backup types. BITBACKUP is not yet migrated to the new scan engine, which by default uses the old scan engines.
Support for Unicode filenames
Support for file paths up to 259 characters.
Full support for multi-processors. Automatically increases the number of threads per processor, resulting in faster file preparation (compression and encryption).
A new registry key "TPC" can be set to a value between 1 and 5, which sets the number of "PREP" Threads per CORE (TPC). The default is 1. So, by default, if there are two cores per processor, the prep engine uses two threads.
Ignores Folder Redirections and Junction Points. (Vista and above) This solves a memory issue on very large file scans.
Overall improvements were made to backup speed on multi-core systems. Improvements were made in efficiency with better memory management
Swedish (Svenska) language support added.
Fix: Fixed an issue with editing/updating Backup Exclusions on the client.
Fix: Send Diagnostics (client side) failed on some Operating systems. Send diagnostics can also be used as standalone application to send logs to tech support.
Fixes - Integrity check for Exchange 2010 logs (DB Level backup).
Since the location of all transaction logs is the same, the agent sometimes tries to perform integrity checks for the temporary transaction logs (with names like 'E0001tmp.log'.) The integrity checks for these temporary logs are not needed, so we provided an override to make the agent skip temporary logs where it finds the 'tmp' in the transaction log name.
Setting the key "ExcludeTempLogs" to False will force integrity checks on temporary transactions logs that are named with 'tmp' indicating them as temporary logs. This will generate exceptions in the RBS log files. The default is set to "True" which excludes these temporary logs from integrity checks.
Fix: Directory Junctions [OFA] - Fixed issues with backing up open files and locked files using VSS.
Fix: SQL DB backup using client SQL agent fixed (Bit backup type).
Fix: File Include/Exclude - Fixed issue with root folder selections on the client interface.
Fix: Modified Date/Time & Fast Pick file selection criteria issue with bit backup type fixed.
Fix: Discrepancies in the preparation size and transfer size shown in backup progress window.
Fix : Fixed SQL Restore "Excp: 3200" fixed.
Fix: Temp files used in SQL backup are now purged off after backup
Fix: RBS Server email notifications minor validation error fixed.
RBackup Server
New Import Data Feature: Copy to disk data can be moved to clients root directory using the RBS Manager (RBS manager - Accounts - right-click user - Import Data.) Files on the source drive will be copied into the user's storage space and deleted from the source drive.
RBackup Client BETA Version 11.04.000
Release Date: December 6 2011
This is a BETA TEST version. Use it in live production environments only at your own risk. This is ONLY the Client software. It is delivered as a single file called "cl1000.exe" which is a stand-alone Client. To test it, download and install this file. It will prompt you for the location of the Server, and other account information.
This version has two new major features, a new language, and some minor fixes.
Download the BETA documentation [here]
Download the BETA Client software [here]
1. New Scan/Prep Engine. (New scanning engine, encryption and compression modules)
(Note: Registry key "TPC" can be set to a value between 1 and 5, which sets the number of "PREP" Threads per CORE (TPC). Default 1. So, by default, if there are two core/processors, the prep engine uses two threads.)
Improves backup speed on multi-core systems, improves efficiency, better memory management, built-in support for Unicode and long filename/path support.
Note - The new scan engine is enabled by default. However, there is a registry key to switch back to the old scan engines. To switch, set the following key to False.
2. Exchange 2010 Mailbox level support.
Refer to Exchange Server 2010 Documentation [here].
3. Swedish (svenska) language support added.
Fixes:
RBackup Version 11.02.009
Release Date: September 7 2011
Fixed an issue with Automation Error with Exchange Mailbox-Level backup with version 11.2.8.
- Added new switch to Email Notifications program to change Subject to "Backup Failed due to Exceptions or Warnings", if there are any Exceptions or Warnings encountered during backup. (Default subject line when Exceptions or Warnings are encountered say, "Backup Successful/Finished (Warning: File Exceptions or Warnings encountered)".
To make this switch, set the following registry key on the server (Stop the RBS Server application/service first) -
"SetExcpAsFailed" - REG_SZ - "True"
Fixed a timeout issue during large Bitbackup restores (during base file download) in Restore module.
Minor updates to Server and Client Installers.
Minor Fix: Advanced interface incorrectly highlighted folders even though they are not specifically included. These folders had names that looked similar or was a subset to other folder names that were actually included.
RBackup Version 11.02.008
Release Date: August 23 2011
This is a minor maintenance release. We recommend upgrading only if you are experiencing problems addressed below.
Fixed an issue with very large restores using the Client application. Restores were sometimes slow over 500,000 files in a batch.
Updates to the client to support SharePoint Server 2010.
Minor fixes and updates for Windows SBS Server 2011.
Minor fixes to Customize Client Installer utility.

This is a minor maintenance release. We recommend upgrading only if you are experiencing problems addressed below.
(Client Only) An updated and enhanced VSS (Open files) Library module that solves issues with Exchange (Database-level) backup and Active Directory backups.
Minor fixes to the Restore Agent installers.
Minor updates to Simple Interface module.
Version 11.02.005
Release Date: March 14 2011
This is an important maintenance release that also contains new features. We recommend upgrading both your Server and your Client software.
NOTE: If you have upgraded your clients to v11.2.4, it is highly recommended that you upgrade them again to this version.
Critical Update (Client) An updated and enhanced VSS (Open files) Library module that solve issues with multiple open files with same filename, and files with insufficient permissions.
Fix: Error with Exchange VSS backup (Error: The requested object was a duplicate) fixed.

Minor fixes to the RBS Monitor.
Disk Restore agent/Server side restore: Restore on very large file sets failed with memory leak on some systems. Fixed this problem.
Disk Restore/Server side restore had compatibility issues with older version of client databases (Error: Error in executing restore query. No value given for one or more required parameters.) Fixed this.
Version 11.02.004
Release Date: February 8 2011
This is an important maintenance release that also contains new features. We recommend upgrading your software.
New Feature: New VSS (Volume Shadow Copy) Open files solution replaces the OFA (Open Files Agent) driver functionality in previous versions. This resolves all known issues with the older Open Files Agent.
When open or locked files are encountered during backup, the Client software requests a VSS snapshot of these files. The VSS module temporarily copies these files to the "%Temp path location%\VSSTemp\" folder location. The client then prepares and transfers these files to the server. (Note: Because open or locked files are temporarily copied under the client's Temp Path location, make sure to redirect this location to a bigger drive, if needed).
New Feature: Support for Italian language added.
New Feature: BitBackup now checks for free space using the same threshold option as 'Temp Path' threshold. (Defined by the registry key: "FreeSpaceThreshold".) Exceptions are printed in the log for files that were skipped.
Fix: Minor fixes to the Remote Management module.
Fix: Client Installer corrected to not modify/overwrite registry keys with default values. (Also, execution of rbackup.reg is stopped on upgrade installation.)
Version 11.02.000
Release Date: December 15 2010
This is a maintenance release that also contains new features. We are also releasing a new PlugIn and announcing some upcoming releases and new products.
New Feature: Windows event logging now added to the RBackup Client and the Server software. This allows third party MSP software to monitor backup activity. Refer to the RBS Server documentation for more details.
New Feature: Send Diagnostics on client (+ Enhanced for Server) New option available on client (simple/advanced), to send Diagnostic Reports to RBS Technical Support. This will eliminate the need to manually send logs and other reports to RBS for tech support. Just push the Send Diagnostics button. Refer to the RBS Server documentation for more details.
New PlugIn: Brandable Online Estimator (Sold as a separate PlugIn) Post the Online Backup Estimator for download from your web site. It will estimate the size of a full backup and subsequent daily backups and the time required to send them to your Server, based on the current upload speed of the Internet connection. It scans the file system using Best Practices for Include and Exclude settings.
Support for Hungarian and French Canadian languages added.
Fix: Client locks were being reset incorrectly by client tokens sent from server (based on edition). Also, client locks that are not applicable to the client edition are now disabled to avoid confusion.
Fix: System state restores sometimes failed during extraction when using the stand-alone agents.
Fix: Bandwidth Throttling was not being updated properly via Remote Management.
Fix: Local Mirror backup exceptions were not propagated to the Email Notifications. Corrected this to report failures.

The Test Connection and Backup Progress screen appeared black on some installations of Windows 2008 and Windows 7.
The Personal and Desktop editions were not being set correctly on client install.
Version 11.001.003
Release Date: June 30, 2010
This is a MAJOR RELEASE. It contains some core improvements important to your business. Service Providers with current maintenance subscriptions can download this release free of charge.
We are also announcing two new PlugIns.
The Web Manager is a standard feature with new purchases and pre-orders of RBackup v11, and RBackup v10 purchased after June 1 2010 with 25 Clients and more. Customers upgrading from RBackup v10 purchased prior to June 1 2010 can purchase the Web Manager separately.
The E-Commerce PlugIn is not a standard feature, and can be purchased separately.
Licensing System Changed from Users to "Credits" (and changed again from Credits to Licenses on 27 March 2014 because Credits was confusing) Version 10 and earlier licensed Client software by Users. Each installation of the Client software had all features activated, and used up one license. Version 11 changes this system, licensing Client software by "Credits" instead. This allows Service Providers to distribute Client software at 1/4 the previous cost.
Installing Client software uses Credits on the server, depending on the edition of the Client software installed (see below.) The RBS Server manages recycling Credits the same way it does Users - deleting an account returns Credits to the available pool. This allows Service Providers to distribute far less expenses Client software, depending on their needs.
RBS Servers will automatically be converted to the new Credits system upon installation of Version 11, and will receive 4 credits for every User license. For example, a 100-User system will become a 400-Credit system. The upgrade is seamless.
Two New Client Editions Version 11 adds two new Client editions - Desktop and Personal, in addition to the existing Server Edition. All three Editions are built by the Customize client Installer simultaneously.
Free Trial Accounts Distribute free trial accounts without depleting your paid Credits. Each RBS Server will add up to 50% of its available Credits to be used for Trial accounts. For example, a 400-Credit version allows 400 Credits for live (paid) accounts, plus 200 Credits for free Trial accounts. You may distribute any Client Edition as a trial.
Trial accounts are automatically suspended after a configurable 1 to 30 days. They are limited to a maximum of 10GB. Live accounts cannot be converted to Trial accounts. A Trial account can never have the same username as any previous Trial account. (To prevent abuse of trial accounts by end users.) At the end of the trial period a message displays on the Client computer, with a link to purchase an account. Trial Credits are added back to the Trial Credit pool.
Bandwidth Throttling - Bandwidth usage for clients can be throttled using the Remote Management feature on the server. (Option is called Bandwidth (Bits/sec) under the Backup/Report Options on Remote Management.
You can alternatively also set the Bandwidth usage by setting the following registry key on the client.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quantum Tech, Inc.\Remote Backup\Settings:
"BufferSize" - REG_SZ - "16384" (Value should be in Bytes)
Example:
Fix: Attempt Window In some cases, the Attempt Window was not being set correctly for Scheduled jobs via Windows Task scheduler.
Web Manager PlugIn [more info here...] (A standard feature with new purchases of v11. Available for separate purchase otherwise.) The new Web Manager PlugIn for the RBS Server moves most of the functions of the RBS Manager onto the web.
The Web Manager PlugIn requires Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 or greater.
The E-Commerce PlugIn [more info here...] (Not a standard feature. Available for separate purchase. Requires the Web Manager PlugIn.) The E-Commerce PlugIn is an integrated web based registration, billing, credit card processing, and software deployment system.
The E-Commerce PlugIn requires the Web Manager PlugIn, Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 or greater, and an SSL certificate.
