New client release for Mac OS and Linux


It’s finally there! The long awaited support for MySQL databases. Our customers can backup their MySQL databases with this brand new Online Backup Client.

But there are more benefits; from now on, customers have the ability to run pre and post scripts before and after backups and restores. Furthermore, our developers have added support for unlimited account to this Client.

The last three months we've completely revisited the functionality for logging (certain messages have been revisited to make them more informative and new messages have been added) and our core backup process. The backup process has been improved to execute operations concurrently, where they were executed in a sequence before. As a result, the amount of memory use has decreased for backups of large sets of files, plus such backups run faster!

We hope that these new features, and of course several fixes for issues that were reported by our customers, will accelerate your daily back up tasks!

Support for Snow Leopard
Recently some of our customers asked us if we support the new Mac operating system Snow Leopard with this new Client. Currently, we are running tests to ensure that our Client supports Snow Leopard soon. Please follow our blogs because in a little while there will be an announcement concerning the formal support of Snow Leopard by BackupAgent!
