Many of you have probably noticed that there was an update to the Soonr Desktop agent the other day. There were many updates to this agent, including the ability to handle large and constantly changing files. Data files like Outlook PST are very difficult to backup because they are always open and often locked. These files are skipped in many backup applications, but not in Soonr!
In addition to these “behind the scenes” improvements, there are little things that have a big impact on how quickly you can accomplish a task. For example, you may notice that when you bring up the Manage Backups dialog in the agent there are sometimes green boxes by some of your folder names. What does this mean?
The green box indicates that there is content inside the folder selected for backup
We have made it easier to identify folder which contain folders marked for backup. Instead of clicking through each folder to figure out which of the nested folders are being backed up, you can see a clear visual indication (aka the green box). If you expand folders with a greenbox, you’ll see a check mark next to folders marked for backup. If the folders are deeper in the folder structure, you’ll continue to see the green boxes until you reach the backup selection.
If you just backup everything in your “My Documents” folder, this may have little impact. But if you have explicitly chosen your folders to back up, this small update makes it easy navigte the folder tree and spot exactly where your backed files are located. It’s like having sign posts guiding the way as you navigate your folder tree.
You can also just click on the green box to select that entire folder and its subfolders for backup.
