[Archived] Feature REQUESTS 2024

[admin]

Would it be possible to get a more detailed "log" window when creating and restoring an image?  Currently, we get a completion percentage, ETA, and time estimation.  It would be nice to have a more specific showing of partition, write/read speeds, and more accurate timings.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is it necessary to show more information, which may have some impact on performance? We haven't tested this yet, so maybe the impact will be minimal.

Hello,
  1) Maximize button in file restore window because now it is tiny or having a seperate window for file restore with maximize button.
  2) File restore should have an option to restore it at the "original location" and of course overwrite it. Now it's only custom.
  3) Add Green Emoji for Success and Red anything else in the e-mail notification subject. eg: [✅ Success] or [♦️ Fail] . It's just hits way better to the eye! 
      btw i think it works with Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
  4) The ability to customize subject on e-mail notifications. eg:
      [%iconstatus% %jobstatus%] - [%domain%\%user%] - dddd, dd mm yyyy hhs:nn -> [✅ Successful] - [MYDOMAIN\MYUSER] - Tuesday, 30 July 2024 22:33:07
  5) Compile with latest Visual Studio 2022
  6) Not actually needed but it will be good: Upgrade to the latest inno setup

Thank you

Thank you for all your suggestions, we will improve them in future releases.

Feature request - have a way to see the current version number of the program from the main window and/or display it on the start-up splash window.

opps, I just noticed if you go to the little icon beside the minimize button, and check for update you get the version number of the program - so I guess it is there - just a little hidden.   But still might be worth adding to the splash window.   Thanks
Thanks for the advice, we'll do it.

We will display the version number in the title bar.

Perfect, and I see you added it in version 4.9 - thank you!

Feature Request - when a backup completes or fails automatically send an email.

SMTP would be fine from my perspective, although others might want this tied into their gmail/hotmail accounts.

Edit: Opps just notice this is already supported in 4.9.1

My apologies.

Hotmail still supports SMTP, gmail now uses OAuth 2.0 so it needs to be handled separately, we will support it in a future release.

1. Why not have two separate end-of-job options; one for creating the image and one for restoring the image? Almost always users are going to want to restart after restore, but almost never want to restart after imaging. Right now, the same functions is used for both.

2. What about adding the ability to edit saved tasks fully; such as being able to change the task's save location or compression settings?

Please allow to select other drives/partitions in the system backup (eg. C: contains the OS and D: the data)

The backup feature of the backup software on the market all seem to only back up Windows system related partitions, obviously you can accomplish what you need by creating two backup tasks, but I'll get back to my developers with your suggestion. Thanks.

Regarding Q1, you said “almost never want to restart after imaging”, but not everyone does, and it's set to “do nothing” by default, which doesn't affect you in any way.

Regarding Q2, we will allow users to change the storage folder in a future release, however the image split size, compression level and encryption information for a backup task cannot be changed.
