We have just launched the new web site for Backup Nexus, with updated information on all the latest features that are in the new version. You can check it out at http://backupnexus.com/.
At the same time, we have now finalized the details for the preview program. The preview program is the time by which we decide how to package the different features of the program. During the preview program, you will have 20 GB of free backup space and have access to all the advanced features of the backup software client.
At the end of the preview program, as a token of appreciation for your early participation in the preview program, you will get 6 free months of premium service. In addition, the 20 GB of free backup space will be yours to keep forever. All that you have to do is to sign up before April 1, 2009.

Announcing the Backup Nexus Preview Program
After many weeks of quietness, we are happy to announce that Backup Nexus has now graduated from the beta phase. The next phase that we have planned for Backup Nexus is a publicly available preview program.
The preview program will bring to it a revamped version of the Backup Nexus service, including faster and more stable backup client, more network services, and better definition on how unused disk space is shared between users of the network. At the same time, the rapidity and simplicity that you have came to expect from Backup Nexus will live on. We are adding features, but not at the expense of making Backup Nexus complicated or slow to use.
Stay tuned, as we roll out a new web site and post more details about the new additions!

Beta 29, 30, 31 - Diagnostic Releases
If you are sharp-eyed, you may have noticed quite a jump in version number in bun in the last few days. This is because we have released a series of diagnostic releases, designed to capture more information about a particular problem we discovered with how the nodes keep track of each other.
First of all, there is no change to the functionality of the program, and the problem does not affect the backup of your files. It is only an anomaly in how sometimes the time stamp will be dated years in the future, causing a node to think that other nodes are present, when they are not. This problem, however, is not in the core backup engine and therefore does not affect the backup of your files.

Beta 27 - File Browser Enhancements
We have released another version of bun. The new release features a much improved file browser, which now have myriad options for filtering the view, so that you can browse for all the pictures, or see a list of files that have not been backed up, all by choosing a view filter.
In addition to the enhancements to the file browser, other improvements were made, including a display of restore status on the dashboard for each folder, and various tweaks for faster backup.
The new release has been made available by installers on the web site and on the automatic update service.

Beta 26 - Network Reliability Improvement
We have released beta 26 of Bun. As you may remember, our last release features a network transport layer that is more reliable than our previous one. This new beta release improves on that by fixing a problem that we have discovered, where the client software running on your computer would occasionally disconnect from the network.
In addition to the improved network transport, we have also made some small improvements on the file backup scanning process and some parts of the user interface.
You can enjoy the new release, courtesy of the automated update service.

Beta 25 - Network Enhancement and Performance Improvements
We have released beta 25 of Bun. This new release brings with it a whole host of improvements, most important of which is a new network transport that connects faster and more reliably - this means that your files will be backed up sooner and the backup status reflected earlier.
We also tweaked various internal settings to make the file scanning process faster and smoother. In addition, some small bugs have been fixed as well.
Beta 25 is available on automatic update, so you should be running it presently.
