It’s been a little over a month since the last Jungle Disk Desktop and Workgroup releases, but rest assured we haven’t been idle. The next major release, Jungle Disk 2.50, is deep in development and should be available in beta within the next 4-6 weeks. So what do you have to look forward to in the next release? The biggest change is that we will be offering the ability to run Jungle Disk as a background service on all platforms, which has been a highly requested feature in itself, but will also allow us to implement a number of other great new features. The list below provides a full list of major new features we are targeting:
- Jungle Disk runs as a service, separate from the Monitor user interface
- Automatic backups are performed even when not logged in to the computer
- Wake from sleep for backups will now be available on Mac in addition to Windows
- Backup in-use files feature will work on Vista without UAC constraints
- Easy backup of data for multiple user accounts on the same computer
- Native 64-bit support, which will enable the backup-in use files feature on Vista64
- “Time-machine” style restore interface, allowing to you restore files from a point-in-time view of your backup
- Download resume feature for restoring or copying large files
As you can see we’ve got a lot of great stuff cookin’, with more on tap after 2.50 is released. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release.
