What is a community build?
A community build is a pre-release build that has passed through internal testing, and is ready for our community to try. We encourage our community to try the software in a variety of environments, to identify potential issues in the field.
Faster opening of PST files
Release notes
When backing up huge mailboxes (e.g. 30GB +) to fragmented hard drives, it can take a long time (hours) to open a PST file. This build includes caching mechanisms to reduce the opening time by a factor of 2 to 10.
Previous Community Builds
Past community builds have been incorporated into the mainstream release and are available on the BackupAssist 365 Downloads page.
