Enhanced software functionality, performance and compatibility
Minarca version 4.4.0

Data backup is an essential part of any organization's IT infrastructure. It ensures that data is safe, secure and easily recoverable in case of an unexpected event. Minarca software is a popular backup solution that has been helping organizations back up their data for many years. In the latest version of the software, 4.4.0, several changes have been made to improve the user experience and the software's compatibility with different platforms. In this article, we will take a closer look at these changes and their impact on the overall functionality of Minarca software.

Update rdiffweb to version 2.6.0

The first major change in the latest version of Minarca software is the upgrade of Rdiffweb to version 2.6.0. Rdiffweb is a powerful web interface for the Rdiff-backup tool, which is used by Minarca for data backup. The latest version of Rdiffweb features several improvements, including better performance, enhanced security features and a more user-friendly interface. With this update, Minarca's data backup software can now perform more efficient and reliable backups.

Generate the Debian package minarca-client using Pyinstaller and Debbuild

Another important change in the latest version of Minarca software is the use of Pyinstaller and Debbuild to generate the Debian minarca-client package. This change was made to improve compatibility with various platforms and to ensure that the software works without compatibility issues. Pyinstaller is a powerful tool for packaging Python applications into standalone executables, while Debbuild is a package building tool that can be used to create Debian packages. Using these tools, the Minarca software can now be installed on various Debian distributions without any problems.

Fixed a performance problem of the graphical interface on MacOS

Another important change in the latest version of Minarca software is the correction of a performance problem on macOS. In previous versions, some users reported that the GUI was slow and unresponsive on macOS. In version 4.4.0, this problem has been solved and the GUI now works smoothly on MacOS, allowing users to set up backups without problems.

Allow a background backup to run when the user is logged out in Windows

The latest version of Minarca software also includes a change in the way backups are performed on Windows. In previous versions, backups could only be performed when the user was logged in. In version 4.4.0, backups can now be performed in the background, even when the user is logged out. This change ensures that backups can be performed at any time. This feature is particularly useful for backing up Windows servers.

Conclusion

The latest version of Minarca software, version 4.4.0, includes several changes that improve the software's functionality, performance and compatibility with various platforms. Thanks to the upgrade of Rdiffweb to version 2.6.0, the software allows for better viewing of backups and email notification in case of problems. In addition, the use of Pyinstaller and Debbuild to generate the Debian minarca-client package ensures that the software works without compatibility issues on Debian.

In addition, fixing the performance problem on MacOS makes the minarca software even more user-friendly and reliable. The ability to run backups in the background when the user is logged out on Windows is a welcome change that allows for more flexibility and convenience.
