Windows Home Server Backup Database-Backup, or more affectionately know as WHS BDBB,
has been updated by MediaSmartServer.net’s Alex Kuretz to version 1.0.3.3.
The list of changes are as follows:
- Redesigned user interface, tabs now provide room for new features
- More documentation within the interface to explain the features of the Add-In, including a warning message that the backup service will be stopped during backup and restore
- Increased details about each possible network target, including free and total storage space, volume name and drive letter if known
- Added ability to configure individual Health Notification thresholds for each client computer
- Added feature to delete the current WHS Backup Database in case of a corrupted DB that Repair is not able to correct
- Elapsed time is now reported in the user interface after a backup or restore completes
- Don’t display connected drives with filesystem of type CDFS, such as CD/DVD and some external hard drives that have special read-only partitions such as the HP Simple Save
- Removed the user prompt to restore Client Registry keys, as this feature is no longer needed since WHS PP2. The registry files are still backed up with each BDBB backup in case the user needs to manually restore
- Significant code changes “under the hood” to facilitate new features in the future
- New logo created by http://www.nada-g.com/
A great add-in and highly recommended, as it has saved my behind more than once. Head on over to MediaSmartServer.net for the complete announcement.
