I know, lots of people thought Backup Manager was dead. But it was not! It was just sleeping like a giant monster that haven’t been disturbed for a long time.

Now, thanks to Philippe Villiers who took the time to pack a nice 0.7.10 release with all the contributions received, we have a new release.

Is this Christmas you say? Well maybe there is something like that

Enjoy the Changelog here, grab the tarball there.

By the way, the wiki has been shut down on purpose, it was heavily spammed and I did not have the time to maintain it. If you want to power a wiki for backup manager, tell me, I’ll be happy to point wiki.backup-manager.org to your website.
