One of the nice things about using a different browser to Internet Explorer, are the hidden functions that you find are added to make them stand out from the crowd.
Google Chrome has long been my favourite browser for many different reasons but it was only recently that I came across a very useful built-in feature that can turn any web page into an application shortcut.
As if BackupAssist wasn't already priced competitively enough, you'll be pleased to know we've just introduced two new discounted bundles to make it even better value when you're buying with plug-ins!
I've outlined what's included in each below and you'll find up to date costs on the pricing page of the main site.
We're a relatively small team here at Zen Software and one of the things we really like about that is if and when you ever need our help, be it pre or post-sales, we're able to offer you more of a personal level of service than some of the industry giants we're often competing with.
Particularly as a small or medium sized business, we know how much importance you place on being able to get answers when you need them.
With this in mind, and as part of an ongoing program of improvements, we've upped our game a little with a few 'service enhancements' shall we say!
Integrating previously archived emails from other third-party archiving solutions is not a new feature in MailStore but from version 8.1 it has been made much easier thanks to a new archiving profile job.
This new profile can archive and sort emails collected from file sources and so it opens up a realm of possibilities and very much simplifies the process.
A new update for MailStore has just been made available by the German development team and is now available to download from our Web site.
Towards the tail end of last year, Microsoft announced a somewhat controversial decision to call time on the hugely popular Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 - the last OEM copies of which will be exhausted by the end of 2013.
SBS has now been replaced by two flavours of Windows Server 2012 (Essentials and Standard), but unlike their predecessor, neither of which include an email server component - highlighting Microsoft's intention to 'guide' customers towards their cloud/ hosted services.
If you're a user of the MDaemon email server, and own either an iPhone, Android device or Windows mobile, it's quite likely at some point you'll want to synchronise your calendar, contacts and tasks etc.
While the set-up steps for configuring MDaemon and the devices themselves are very straightforward, because MDaemon needs to be visible to the outside world, there are some networking considerations to be aware of.
We have seen two instances recently where BackupAssist has been used to run an image job on HP Proliant servers but the job fails 98% through the image of the C: drive with the error 'Drive Cannot Find the Sector Requested'.
This would usually point to physical drive sector issues and a possible dying disk, but after some further investigation it would appear that this is actually a specific issue to do with the pre-installed status of System partitions on HP Proliant range of Server platforms.
An early heads up for you in video form this morning about a great new addition to BackupAssist's Exchange Granular Restore functionality.
Pencilled in for release in the next couple of weeks, v7.3 of BackupAssist will provide you with the ability to quickly find items in your Exchange database backup, and directly restore them to another Exchange server.
See below for the 2 minute preview video...
