| VERSION 5.X |
-
Image Backup will now see disks that contain extended partitions.
-
Improved barcode support.
-
Improved email notification.
-
Support for files with the offline
attribute set (used in RSM and HSM).
-
Under Select Select Storage Device, the max
number of characters that you can use is 15. There are no issues when a combination of 1-13 characters is used. If you use a
string that is exactly 14 characters long, UltraBac hangs when you
go into "Schedule\Schedule backups\Options\Define Storage
Device."
-
When restoring files and using the option
of overwrite by selecting "update," UltraBac restores the
files but may give an error or AV upon restoring.
-
Attempted restore of Master
Database may result in 'login failed' error message. Workaround is to
simply try the same restore again and it will work.
-
Large (> 5GB) backups to
disk may result in CRC errors on restore. Workaround is to install
version 5.04 and restore.
-
If a device set is created
and saved as the default device, UltraBac doesn't remember that it's
saved if you re-launch the application. This bug is exclusive to device
sets and is not affected using tape or disk devices.
-
SQL Agent in
Version 5.5 -- when doing a LOCAL VDI (non named pipes) backup, using
software compression will result in the backup being corrupt and not
restorable. UltraBac will AV on any attempt to verify or restore. It is
important to note that one of these backups will never be
restorable. Current workaround is to either force UltraBac to use named pipes only
OR to not use software compression.
-
Win9x Agent returns several
notices before starting.
-
If you have a removable drive
that shows as DISK0, you may have trouble doing image backups because
the partition information may not show correctly. Workaround is to
assign the removable drive a higher SCSI ID so that it shows as the last
disk device in Disk Administrator.
-
UltraBac may not
restore the resource forks properly on MAC Volume files.
-
Windows2000 users may find
that "Default Editor" link (wordpad) points to the wrong
location. Workaround is to specify a correct path to an editor (i.e. c:\winnt\notepad.exe).
-
Verify and restore logs may
incorrectly show 0.00 MB as amount of data verified/restored.
-
Dr. Watson (AV - Access
Violation) may occur when backing up a NetWare machine via UNC path if
the connection is broken during the backup. UltraBac will return an
error on each file, eventually reaching the max number of errors, and AV
when that number is reached. (This issue is still under investigation
and may actually occur on any client machine backup.)
-
May not be able to properly
restore spanned media when barcodes enabled. (Still under investigation.
We've not yet duplicated this in-house.)
-
Win2K Active Directory
(System State) not yet supported.
-
UsrClass.dat files not being
backed up as part of registry.
-
Medium Changer device driver
not fully compatible with some autoloaders in Windows 2000.
-
UltraBac is not compatible
with SQL 2000 LOCAL VDI backups. Named pipe backups work
ok.
-
If you use Recursive Mount
points in Windows 2000, UltraBac may fall into an infinite loop when
loading a set.
-
UltraBac doesn't yet support
the use of hard links using posix in Windows 2000. If a hard link
exists, the actual file gets backed up instead of the link.
-
Locked File Backup only
works with NT4 (also must be a local backup).
-
Can't mount an image backup
as a drive letter in Win2K.
-
Disaster Recovery
Diskettes/CDs/OBDR must be created on a machine running NT4 and the
source path must be to a NT4 CD (using a Windows 2000 CD will not work).
-
When using Multiple Drive
sets that are incremental/differential, if any set has no files selected
(meaning the archive bit is not on for any files on that partition),
then all subsequent sets will be skipped and the backup will report as
completed successfully.
-
Possible reporting error
with files skipped in backup log.
-
Win2K Image backups not yet
supported.

-
If you abort an AD-HOC backup, and
immediately try to do a "Prepare for UltraBac," it failed.
-
In extremely rare cases, if two backups launched at the same time, one of those backups could fail with a
license error.
-
If a set or restore index is
loaded that refers to a remote path, and that path is already connected
locally, unloading the set would disconnect the local connection.
