BackupAssist 365 Community

BackupAssist 365 Community Builds

Regularly updated, early access to the latest features.

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.

Community build: support for Security Groups when selecting users, plus performance enhancements

End-User build – use this if you purchased BackupAssist 365 from our website.

MSP builds – use this if you are an MSP and are using our Managed Backup Console.

 

Release notes

This release allows you to select security groups when choosing which users to back up. It also includes the speed improvements that are listed in the next section below. Please note: you will need to re-authenticate any existing mailbox backup tasks, because using security groups requires additional privileges that were not previously authorized in prior versions of BackupAssist 365.

Community build: improved performance for mailbox backups writing to slow and fragmented hard disks

End-User build – use this if you purchased BackupAssist 365 from our website.

MSP builds – use this if you are an MSP and are using our Managed Backup Console.

 

Release notes

Now, v1.21 already included some improvements. This Community build goes further. So compared with the current mainstream release, this Community build features these speed enhancements:

  • Get mailbox diffs directly from the server, making it faster to identify changed items for download.
  • Opening the PST file is much faster.
  • An item cache is generated for each PST, so scanning items in the PST file is much faster.
In short, this version provides the enhancements that solve most of the slowness.
