SQL Backup 7.2

[Marianne]

We’re pleased to announce that SQL Backup 7.2 has been released and is available to download. This is a minor release and includes new features and bug fixes.

New features

• Default names for scheduled backup jobs now include information about the databases in the job.
• Log Shipping wizard steps re-ordered and validation introduced to prevent network share and MOVETO folder being the same.
• It is now possible to double-click anywhere on a reminder to launch the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard.
• On step 2 of the Schedule Restore Jobs wizard, 'Create new database' is always selected and populated by default.

Bugs fixed in 7.2

• SB-4546, SB-4689 and SB-5289 - STOPATMARK and STOPBEFOREMARK are supported when restoring using LATEST_ALL.
• SB-4767 and SB-5056 - Changes to default names for scheduled backup jobs (see New Features above).
• SB-5024, SB-5113 and SB-5287 - Issues with keyboard shortcuts and navigation in the Restore, Schedule Backup Jobs and Schedule Restore Jobs wizards have been resolved.
• SB-5190 - Reminders are not displayed if SQL Backup cannot connect to the SQL Server.
• SB-5196 - Backup jobs that use the FULLIFREQUIRED keyword are now removed from the In Progress tab once the backup has completed.
• SB-5202 - When upgrading from one major version to another (for example, from SQL Backup 6 to 7), SQL Backup is installed in a folder labelled with the new major version number by default. The folder containing the previous version is removed.
• SB-5245 - In the Restore wizard, the option to check for orphaned users is selected by default when the user changes from a filegroup backup to a full backup.
• SB-5270 - An error is raised when invalid database file paths or file names are entered on step 2 of the Restore wizard.
• SB-5286 - When the Restore or Log Shipping wizard is launched from the context menu, the 'Database' control is populated with the selected database.
