Version 2.4.0 of QuickShadow Backup is a minor update which corrects a small number of problems and annoyances:
Improvements
Windows 7 – extra copy taken
Sometimes on Windows 7, when watching folders, a file would be copied and then copied again some time later even though there had been no modifications. This is corrected.
Vss – snapshot created but no files copied
In some cases when using VSS, a disk snapshot set was created but then the files to be copied were deferred. The meant that the snapshot set was created but then no files were copied, spinning the hard drive for no benefit. Now, files are deferred before a snapshot is created, and snapshots are only created if there is a useful file copy to be made.
Logging improvements
Many changes and improvements have been made to logging. More information (especially about failures and errors) is now logged. The logs contain more information including where a fault was detected. Most of the time this is of no consequence but when a fault is found, the extra information will help with diagnosis. As a consequence the format of the log file has changed.
Memory leaks
A small number of memory leaks were identified and fixed.
