July 12th,
2013:
Decision to Stop Further Development and to Stop License Selling From Start of 2014
Up to now, the development of
VersionBackup has been financed in advance. Due to the volume and the
complexity of the functionality, a lot of effort would be necessary
even in the future.
Assessing this situation, we concluded that even with the new data
model and the new marketing concept, no gainful sale of VersionBackup
will be possible.
Therefore, we will terminate all activities concerning VersionBackup in the end of 2013.

2010:
Concept
for a New Data Model for Release 6
The main focus for the future
development has been determinated:
As the data volume on the computers continues to increase,
VersionBackup shall be able to handle much bigger data stocks.
Currently, VersionBackup is desined to operate with approx. 1 Million
file versions. VersionBackup 6 shall have a completely reworked data
handling to enable it to manage and display archives with 100 Million
versions. This means a backup volume of approx. 10 Terabytes. If the
computer memory is big enough, even bigger backup archives shall be
properly processed.

New
Patch Release 5.0.2.0
This new software issue brings not
only some error corrections but also an improved memory management. To
keep the backup versions at hand, the Backup-Browser now needs
significantly less main memory. This is very favorable with big backup
archives.
