QuickShadow Backup 2.17 has been released.
This is a major release which adds new features and corrects some defects.
From the release notes:
Major improvements:
– QuickShadow Backup can now be run by users who are not PC Administrators
(For example this means on a shared home PC, when the kids log in, the backups can still run).
– The Progress Bar for the Copy of files now much more accurately reflects actual progress.
– Dramatically quicker program close if a file copy was in progress (10x – 100x faster); especially at machine shutdown time.
– Normal operation will continue if some backup destinations are not available.
– New and easier to use source and destination directory / location selection.
– Improved compatibility with Microsoft OneDrive destinations (online/offline attributes).
Minor changes:
– Better machine start performance by juggling priorities and start-up delays.
– Pressing ESC during setup no longer deletes a backup set.
NOTE that this version includes major underlying changes, and allows LIMITED (non-admin) users to run AND configure the backup sets in QuickShadow Backup. This permits non-admin users to change the backup configuration. If this represents an unacceptable security change, please avoid using this version.
