Wie belangrijke data heeft maakt hiervan graag een back-up. Plan/B is een pakket dat gericht is op het maken van back-ups van verschillende locaties naar verschillende media. Ondersteuning voor het gebruiken van cd's, netwerkshares en ftp-sites is aanwezig. Voor meer informatie kan je een kijkje nemen in de documentatie van dit pakket. De ontwikkelaar heeft onlangs waarschijnlijk versie 1.2 build 3567 uitgebracht, we weten het niet zeker omdat het versienummer op verschillende plekken anders staat aangegeven. De aankondigingen zien er als volgt uit:
Version 1.2:
I'm pleased to announce the introduction of an incremental copy mode to Plan/B. This is included in Release 1.2 - currently available from the Download page.
Version 1.2 pending:
I've uploaded a release of plan/b, which is close to version 1.2. This release contains an automatic diagnostic that runs upon install. The diagnostic can also be run on its own. The system itself has been modified to perform the same diagnoses upon startup, and will now fail to start if the network is incorrectly configured.
Version 1.1:[break]Plan/B is in de volgende twee smaken binnen te halen:
- Added save button to the Job editor (it's now more intuitive).
- Added additional view to the server log viewer - which allows you to see the content of long lines in the log.
- Ability to refresh the server side device map (and client side device maps as well). This function already existed, but has been additionally added alongside the add/delete device buttons, to make it more obvious.
- Added CIFS (e.g: server\share) device support. Especially useful for Win XP users running the server as a service.
- When you add a new job, you are immediately taken to the General tab (instead of being left where you were).
- Uninstall warnings (as in, you must do so!) have been addd to win/linux installers.
- Updates to make Error dialogs a little more sensible.
- Upgraded internal SWT libraries to version 3.1
- Fix the Gentoo UNIX scripts, so that the -d is passed correctly into the sub-script (fixes issues with not being able to stop the server/agent after you've started it)
- Fixed issue on linux whereby paths would not be correctly re-selected in the file browser
- Fixed layout issue in Device interface, relating to the loading of libraries (green/red text). It now displays properly.
- Fixed issue whereby CIFS and FTP changes were not replicated out to the Agents
- Fixed issue whereby client would hang if it could not connect to a server
- Fixed issue where the overview fields (on the UI) would not refresh properly upon job add/delete
- Fixed issue with Job editor, whereby when you add a new job, you can still browse device locations without first adding a source or destination - the result being that when you click OK, the thing you selected is NOT put into the source/destination list.
