New Features in Versions 2.0 - 2.4.x:

• "Make File List" no longer exists. When you browse a Recovery Point it is read in real-time similar to a Recovery Point in a read-only hard Disk. The Seed is no longer the "Seed." Instead, the Seed is the first Recovery Point. You have the ability to delete the Seed point from the Disk Safe.
• The CDP Server write performance is no longer penalized when using Compression.
• Quota is now displayed in the Host List.
• Using a producer-consumer model, Backup and Restore Tasks are now multi-threaded. One (1) thread reads and writes from and to the network while another thread reads and writes from and to the Disk. The producer-consumer model keeps the network and Disk as busy as possible.
• The "Disk Safe Repair" feature repairs Disk Safes automatically if there is an unclean shutdown. The ability to repair a corrupt 1x Disk Safe will depend on the extent of the damage.
• The "Verify" option for Backup only verifies the last Recovery Point instead of all the Recovery Points.
• Disk Safes are now multi-threaded. File indexing (Make File List) for browsing while the Disk Safe is in use will no longer be needed.
• Disk Safe data file page heap is now stored in its own file. This feature fixes slow loading of large or highly fragmented Disk Safes.
• Host List Filter.
• Host Description field. The Host Description is used for control panel authentication.
• Agent Port and Timeout are now configurable.
