Jungle Disk 2.49b Beta Release

The second beta release for Jungle Disk 2.5 is now available. With this release we’ve added the Linux version, as well as our first native 64-bit releases for Windows and Linux. The changes since the previous beta include:

  • Native 64-bit versions for Windows and Linux
  • New download resume ability for large file downloads and restores
  • Fixed adding network shares for backup on Windows
  • Fixed startup issues when no Internet connection is present
  • Fixed crash in backup selection dialog
  • Restored files on Mac now owned by user performing the restore
  • Mac frontend client hides itself on startup

Release notes for this version:

  • If upgrading the Windows Version from 2.49a, you will receive a warning that Jungle Disk was unable to decrypt the protected configuration settings. You will need to re-input your Amazon keys and any passwords. This is due to a change in the account the service runs under in 2.49b.
  • Users with non-English versions of Windows may receive an error on service install. This will be fixed for the next release.
  • Only the Desktop Edition is currently available. Future betas will include the Workgroup Edition as well.
  • The current beta supports Windows (all versions) and Mac 10.4 and later, and Linux. Mac 10.3.9, and USB will be supported in a future beta release.
  • On Windows, the Jungle Disk Monitor application must be running for the network drive to be automatically mapped
  • To backup network drives on Windows, you must use their UNC path rather than the mapped drive letter, as mapped drives are not available to the Jungle Disk service. In a future beta release we will automatically update backup configuration files to switch from the network drive to UNC path.
  • If you revert to Jungle Disk 2.10 you may need to delete your cache directory
