\"Important<\/a><\/p>\n

Following some recent security patches from Microsoft<\/a>, we’ve received reports that a small number of BackupAssist users have experienced some difficulty when trying to manually run a backup within our software.  Our developers reacted immediately upon receiving these reports, and have now made available an update to our software that corrects the issue.<\/p>\n

If you’re using BackupAssist v8 and have experienced any issues with running a manual backup since the Windows Patches were made live on 12th May 2015, we strongly recommend you download the latest version of BackupAssist<\/a> at your soonest convenience.  This version is available to all users, and will not<\/strong> require valid Upgrade Protection if you are already using any other version of BackupAssist v8.<\/p>\n

Update to this article – <\/strong>Patch for BackupAssist v7.4.6 is now available for v7 users. Update to v7.4.6 r1 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some further information<\/h2>\n

The issue that a small number of our customers were experiencing related to the reception of an Unhandled Exception Dialogue Box when attempting to manually run a backup.  See below:<\/p>\n

\"run<\/p>\n

We believe this was occurring due to recent security patches to all Windows Operating Systems that Microsoft made:<\/p>\n

2008 \/ 2008r2 \/ Win 7: https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/kb\/3023224<\/a>
\n2012 R2 \/ Win 8.1: https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/kb\/3023222<\/a>
\n2012 \/ Win 8: https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/kb\/3023223<\/a><\/p>\n

Solving this issue<\/h2>\n

Fortunately, solving this issue is very easy for all users of BackupAssist v8.  All you will need to do is download and install BackupAssist v8.4.2 r1<\/a>, which is an update to our software designed specifically to remedy this Unhandled Exception.<\/p>\n

As stated above, this update is completely free of charge for all users of BackupAssist v8, and will not require these users to have purchased Upgrade Protection.<\/p>\n

If you are currently using BackupAssist v7, there is also a patch to v7.4.6 available.  You can download and install BackupAssist v7.4.6 r1 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are using BackupAssist v7.5 (Server 2003 optimized edition), please contact our support team by emailing support@backupassist.com<\/a> to receive the patch for that version.<\/p>\n

If you are using an unsupported version of BackupAssist (i.e. v6 or earlier), we strongly recommend you upgrade to a supported version in order to remedy this issue.<\/p>\n

Thanks to those customers who brought this to our attention, and for your patience while we corrected this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
