BackupAssist beta testingOur Australian friends over at BackupAssist have been working hard to make sure v9 is the best release yet. They could however, really do with your help in testing the Beta version (released this morning) to make sure it's as good as it possible can be come the final release. As the distributor we like to provide as much feedback as we can, but we also rely on the fantastic response we always receive from customers and partners to help make sure we've got the broadest testing base. Please note -  As a beta product, we do not recommend using this version of BackupAssist v9 on live or production machines.

There's a new minor BackupAssist release today and if you run system protection jobs on Hyper-V host machines, it's one you'll want to make sure you download. Following a Microsoft update to Server 2012 R2, some new error messages had been appearing in the job reports. I'm pleased to report that as always, BackupAssist have been quick to respond and within a couple of days we now have this fix. Download BackupAssist 7.4.5 (including the Hyper-V fix) More details and link to the release notes are available below...
