New in AASync 3.6.0.6 (Feb 25, 2011)
- Conversion Notes: Selective Retrieve is a new feature in AASync 3.6.
- If you browse a encoded/encrypted destination for files AASync will show you the original file names, making it easy to pick what you want.
- Remember, these files are actually renamed during the encoded backup sync.
- In order to make this happen, after installing AASync 3.6 you must run the sync in question successfully before you can use the selected retrieve feature.
- If you have not done so, You can still browse and restore selectively, but you will not see the original filenames during the browse.
- Once you run the sync and try selective retrieval, all files known to AASync will be displayed in green with their original names, where the files that only exist in the destination (remember, these are cumulative backups) will be displayed in red with their actual remote file names.
- It is recommended that you make a complete rebuild of your backup with AASync 3.6 starting with an empty destination folder.
- After this you will never see files in red, AASync will alwyas know their original names, even if they do not exist in the source folder any more.
