Major update with some improvements and optimizations.
The update to version 4.0 is free and can be install with the the Live-Update.
When a new installation, however, a new Registration key is needed, i.e. the activation from the version 3.xx can for installation of Version 4.0 by Z-DATdump not be used!
- Adjustments for Z-DATdump
- Improved licensing system
- Possibility to print and export the tape contents
Update information
Version 3.4
Minor update with some improvements and optimizations.
Information about locked, exclusively opened or currently used files are no longer written to the tape list.
However, the tape backup will still be marked as "failed" and the incident will be recorded in the log file.
- Improvements for use with Z-DBackup
- New command line parameter "-drive" for drive selection
- Log file records for bad/faulty tape mediums
- Changes to the internal process management
- Optimizations for copying small files
- Improved multiple instances recognition
- Bugfix: Create new index on hard drive (small files)
Version 3.4
Minor update with some improvements and optimizations.
The new version has a revised file selection dialog for creating dump lists.
The current version now also copies file system metadata and contains some new log file messages.
- Bugfix Locked files lead to abort of
CRC file list creation
- Bugfix CRC file list creation did
not use the Z-OpenLock module
- Bugfix Missing DLL
Version 3.2
Recognition of the tape hardware was improved.
The configuration files of Z-DATdump were improved. This allows for using different tape drives. After the update, the program settings have to be reconfigured and saved.
If the option "Tape auto-format" is used, you should definitely prepare a new tape after the update to version 3.1!
The new version now also supports the complete erasure of tapes using the hardware feature of the streamer (if present). The prompt/selection is done before deletion. Attention: the complete erasure can take 40-90 minutes depending on the medium!
File list creation and the calculation of CRC check sums was improved.
Version 3.0
Major update with some improvements and optimizations. In the current version, backups can be continued, i.e. appended to an existing dump.
The command line interface was improved and extended with several options. This allows for a better integration into pre-existing backup strategies including your own backup scripts. There are new commands for the restoration of single files and the output of tape information using the command-line.
The file limit per dump can be increased from 384,000 to 2,000,000 in the professional version. To switch, deactivate the option "Create list of files in memory" in the program setup. If this option is deactivated, the list of files for backup is temporarily saved on the hard disk.
Note: The main field of application for Z-DATdump is the revision-safe archiving of backup-archives created with Z-DBackup, i.e. Z-DATdump is conceptually not a stand-alone backup software.
- Improvements for use with Z-DBackup
- Improvements in the tape loader
