- Change: initializing tape drive could sometimes take hours depending on the tape size because it always tried to
determine the number of headers on the tape. Since the format of the tape for N archives on a single tape is
[header 1] [data 1] [footer 1] ... [header N] [data N] [footer N], it would have to seek past very long data for to
get to the next header. Every time the tape was initialized it would go to the start of each header. Most backups
though put a single large backup per tape. Which means that most of the time you don't need to seek past the entire data block. We now check to see if the first header has a matching name to the file we want to restore, and if so we don't seek past the header.

- Optimization: Greatly improved time needed to search for a matching backup profile when running an incremental/differential backup
- Optimization: Loading the index file used to take several minutes for large backups to restore and could even take hours if loading huge backups to restore. This process has been reduced to seconds for even the largest types of backups, and loads instantly for normal sized backups.
- Optimization: Loading the verification file used to take several minutes for large backups to restore and could even take hours if loading huge backups to restore. This process has been reduced to seconds for even the largest types of backups, and loads instantly for normal sized backups.
- Optimization: Added support for fast index restores from FTP when only some files are selected. Previously if you were restoring a file from the end of the archive, it would have to download the entire file, now FTP restores can be accomplished extremely fast no matter where the file is located in the archive. Previously if 2 files that you were restoring where not physically located near each other, it would take a long time to restore, this delay has now been removed.
- Optimization: After selecting a known profile to restore, there was a long time gap, this time gap has been eliminated
- Feature: When creating a backup profile, users will now have the option to specify whether or not to create a desktop shortcut to run the profile at a later time.

- Change: If the application is already open and the user tries to open it again they will get a message that it's already open.
- Bugfix: C and S prefix labels for the FTP logs were swapped
- Bugfix: Sometimes restore screen would look like it's crashing (even know it wasn't) and didn't inform the user what was going on.

- If enumeration of a folder fails from an FTP location, the error message that is displayed now shows what the server's response was, or one of the following error messages 'could not connect', 'error sending', 'error receiving', 'could not start data connection", 'could not connect to data connection'
- Will now load remote computers before LAN computers, since it's faster to load remote computer list
- If user had set a base directory other then '/' and the user went to remote computers and tried to view the directories, the directories used to list relative to '/' and not the base directory that they specified. Before this could cause permission error, but since errors weren't displayed before, the ftp computer's '/' just wouldn't expand
- Fixed bug when restoring from a remote location that has a base directory
- Fixed bug when you have multiple remote computers, they would all take sequential local ports, and would therefore not allow the data connection to pass through on the command connection + 1 for passive FTP connections. If the port is in use, it will now try a random port.
- Now mention that Zip backups aren't restorable through the restore screen directly in the learn more link.
- Loaded new SFTP library into vision backup, several bug fixes.
