- backup email clients/messenger clients using simple copy format
- if user double-clicks on a split file, the cbu archive is opened automatically without telling the user to select the first split
- splits and parent incremental/full backups are found automatically if they are in the same directory, even if they were renamed
- History records both backup and restore events even if they were unsuccessfull
- CTM issue fixed, if CTM is installed user is prompted to include disk free space in the backup for CTM-compatibility
