Critical Update Available for ShadowProtect 3.x Customers

Valued Partners:

StorageCraft would like to announce the availability of ShadowProtect 3.5.1 for download now. This software patch fixes a rare issue found in ShadowProtect 3.x which affects some incremental backup images, but not full backup image files. This issue causes some incremental image files not to include all of the file system changes made since the last backup image. Any affected file will show chkdsk errors when mounted. This rare issue occurs on some systems running Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 – but is not limited to these systems.

If you are running ShadowProtect 3.x, StorageCraft recommends that you download ShadowProtect 3.5.1, run the patch, reboot your system and begin a new backup image set – starting with a new full image of your system. To download this ShadowProtect update, please select:

ShadowProtect Server Edition:
http://www.storagecraft.com/downloads/ENU_Server_Setup_3.5.1.exe

ShadowProtect Small Business Server Edition:
http://www.storagecraft.com/downloads/ENU_SBS_Setup_3.5.1.exe

ShadowProtect Desktop Edition:

http://www.storagecraft.com/downloads/ENU_Desktop_Setup_3.5.1.exe

The ShadowProtect 3.5.1 update does not affect your current ShadowProtect 3.5 recovery CD. Therefore, a new .iso download is not necessary.

If you have additional questions regarding this update, please visit the StorageCraft Support Center:

Exchange Hanging on your SBS or EBS 2008?

If you are running VSS snapshot backups of Exchange 2007, thank the folks over at StorageCraft and Microsoft for working together to come up with a fix. I'd recommend you get it installed sooner than later if you have had your Exchange Server hanging on you and you backup with StorageCraft ShadowProtect, Microsoft DPM, or other VSS based backups.
