  • Bugfix: In some cases the restore did not continue at the most recent position when it had to reconnect to the server
  • Build with default Debian stretch live-build and not the accumulation of patches, fixes and manual changes I had beforehand

Upgrade process

As always: Replace the executables (via the installers) and the database of the server/client will be updated on first running it.

Place the files from the update directory into C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer\urbackup or /var/urbackup to auto-update clients. Disable Download client from update server in the server settings to prevent the server from downloading the current version.

On Linux e.g. with this update script: https://github.com/ptempier/get_urbackupclient/blob/master/updateclient.sh

Downgrade process (server)

Stop the UrBackup server, restore C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer\urbackup or /var/urbackup from a backup before upgrade and then install the previous version over the beta release.

Hi uroni,

This one is silly, but the splash screen of the Restore CD still says version 2.2.0 when you load it up.

Updated without issue to 2.3.5 on FreeNAS. Issue with crypto++ is gone. Awesome work. Thanks!
