BackupAssist version 8 The Aussie developers over at BackupAssist have been hard at work on the latest major release of their popular backup software for small businesses, and I'm pleased to be letting you know it's now available for download. This release is packed with new features and in this post we'll pick out both the highlights and a couple of important notes you should be aware of.

I'm slightly concerned that the news of a virtual information blackout yesterday may have detracted somewhat from the REALLY big stories that were breaking. Yes, had you have been paying proper attention you'd have noticed two new product updates from our Texan friends over at developer Alt-N Technologies. Ok, so it's possible I'm overhyping these a fraction but if you're a user of either product they're worth knowing about all the same.
