   CrashPlan 4.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Code42 Software has released [1]CrashPlan 4.3 with added support for
   installing the Internet backup software on a per-user basis, which is
   ideal for backing up data for multiple individual users who are logging
   into the same computer (such as in multi-user desktop environments).
   Each installation behaves as a separate device with its own settings,
   license, and backup archive, and it is recommended for advanced users
   only (see this [2]support document for more details). CrashPlan 4.3 now
   uses dynamic port selection when connecting to the Code42 cloud and
   computer destinations, fixes a bug that prevented restoration of a file
   that contained an apostrophe in the filename, and corrects an issue
   that prevented the critical backup alert email (sent after 7 days by
   default) from being sent in some instances. There is a [3]known issue
   that requires those running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to first update
   to version 4.2 from a previous version before updating to the latest
   version 4.3. (Free with a 30-day trial of CrashPlan's online backup
   service, 55.9 MB, [4]release notes, 10.6+)
