25 Oct BackupAssist – Minor update now live (v6.4.4)

I could tell you all about the exciting new version 7 of BackupAssist which is just around the corner – unfortunately if I do that I’ll have some angry Australian developers after my blood!

For now it’s probably least messy for everyone that I let you know about what’s in 6.4.4 instead….

As you can see from the release notes I’ve pasted below, this update consists primarily of fixes. To update your installation, simple download the latest executable from our site here and over-install.
