Today’s release of Backup Pro to 1.8.6 adds numerous improvements and bug fixes. It’s a pretty big update.

First, now you can set custom date formatting to your archive display to keep things inline with your localization preferences. The mechanism uses the same formatting as ExpressionEngine date formatting so it should be easy to pick up.

To make things a little easier to understand when it comes to the Auto Threshold, Backup Pro now includes some human readable defaults. For example, instead of having a text input that you put the maximum space available to store your backups, you can now choose from a list or enter in a custom value.

It’s also now possible to keep your remotely stored files within sane limits. Remote files now mirror the stored archives so if something is deleted locally it’s also removed from remote.

You can download the update from devot:ee or CartThrob.com.
