Release Notes: Jungle Disk Backup Software

This includes release notes for all editions of Jungle Disk backup software, including Jungle Disk (formerly Workgroup Edition), Jungle Disk Server Edition, Desktop, and Simply Backup. If a note only applies to one platform or edition, that will be specified.

3.34.4 (macOS Only) – Nov 21, 2022

FIXES

  • Fixed an incompatibility with macOS 13.0 Ventura and Network Drive when uploading large files.

3.34.3 (macOS Only) – Nov 8, 2022

FIXES

  • Network Drive now compatible with macOS Ventura (13.0 and later).

3.34.2 (macOS Only) – Mar 2, 2021

IMPROVEMENTS

  • At the beginning of any Backup Vault operation (backup, restore, cleanup), the software will now verify that the locally stored Backup Database is the most recent version of the database available. Previously, this was only done once, during application startup.

FIXES

  • Fixed a bug where the software would incessantly check for software updates if the initial attempt to login failed.
  • Now compatible with macOS Monterey (12.0 and later) on Apple Silicon (M1) and Intel Mac hardware. Under the hood, this involved updating our JungleFS file system extension to version 4.2.4. Users installing this version on Mac hardware with Apple Silicon will be required to make system changes to allow the JungleFS extension to load, this is needed to enable Network Drive mounting. Please see our support guide for more details on how to allow JungleFS installation (https://support.jungledisk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260806375789-JungleFS-Guide-For-M1-Apple-Silicon-Macs)
  • Fixed an issue with the Sync Folder icon overlays (the Jungle Disk icon that appears on local folders configured to sync with Jungle Disk Network Drives) that would cause the icon overlays to stop working in an upcoming release of macOS 12.3 (as of this writing, this version of macOS is still in beta).

3.34.1 (Windows Only) – Dec 2, 2021

IMPROVEMENTS

  • At the beginning of any Backup Vault operation (backup, restore, cleanup), the software will now verify that the locally stored Backup Database is the most recent version of the database available. Previously, this was only done once, during application startup.
  • Windows installers have been simplified and no longer require full installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (Windows 10 and later)

FIXES

  • Fixed a bug where the software would incessantly check for software updates if the initial attempt to login failed.

3.33.0 – Jun 8, 2021

FIXES

  • Now compatible with macOS Big Sur (11.0 and later) on Apple Silicon (M1) Mac hardware. Under the hood, this involved updating our JungleFS file system extension to version 4.1.0. Users installing this version on Mac hardware with Apple Silicon will be required to make system changes to allow the JungleFS extension to load, this is needed to enable Network Drive mounting. Please see our support guide for more details on how to allow JungleFS installation (https://support.jungledisk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260806375789-JungleFS-Guide-For-M1-Apple-Silicon-Macs)

3.32.3 – Jan 22, 2021

FIXES

  • Now compatible with macOS Big Sur (11.0 and later) on Intel-based Mac hardware. Under the hood, this involved updating our JungleFS file system extension to version 4.0.5. Because of that update, installing this version will prompt users to approve a system extension.
  • Automatic software updates on macOS will now restart both the frontend and backend services. Users may still see an error message after update about version mismatch. This error message can be dismissed, and we’re working on making that go away.
  • Fixed macOS issue with using the print dialogue to ‘Save as PDF’ on the Network Drive. Previously, this would save an empty file to the Network Drive, instead of the PDF data that should have been saved.

3.32.0 – Jun 23, 2020

NEW FEATURES

  • Multi-Threaded Backup Vault Upload: Jungle Disk users can now customize the number of simultaneous upload “threads” for a backup job configuration. The setting defaults to one thread and maxes out at ten threads, enabling users to take advantage of the bandwidth available on their networks by uploading more data at a time, resulting in faster backup times. Previously only available in Jungle Disk Server Edition, this feature is now also available in Jungle Disk (Formerly Workgroup Edition).
  • Backup Scripting: With this feature, previously only available in Jungle Disk Server Edition, users can set Jungle Disk to trigger any executable file before a backup runs, after a backup runs, or if a backup run fails. This can be useful in situations where data needs to be created/compressed before a backup runs, deleted after a backup runs, or if there is special logic required in the event a backup fails.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Simplified and decreased executable size of Windows Installer.

FIXES

  • Fixed a bug that caused failures/errors when creating Personal S3 Online Disks in the EU region. This bug most likely impacted users creating Personal S3 Online Disks for the first time.
  • Fixed a bug in Jungle Disk Server Edition that prevented users from setting or changing an Online Disk encryption password in the Activity Monitor. This bug only affected Online Disks stored in Google Cloud Storage.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause timestamps shown in logs and the “Errors and Warnings” dialog to be 9-10 minutes ahead of the correct time (macOS only).

3.31.3 – Jan 15, 2020

FIXES

  • Jungle Disk accounts with multiple macOS users that updated to 3.31.2 may have experienced an issue with “metadata” files being repeatedly duplicated in the root of a “shared” Network Drive. For accounts with users on both macOS and Windows, this issue may have produced filenames that exceeded the maximum length for a filename on Windows, which prevented any files from being displayed on Network Drives. This release fixes the metadata file duplications, and solves the display issue.

3.31.2 – Dec 12, 2019

IMPROVEMENTS

  • This release includes some major structural improvements that dramatically impact the location and access of application files. We hit the highlights below, but recommend reading our blog post (https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/whats-new-in-jungle-disk-3-31-2-for-macos) going into further detail if you have any custom scripts running on Jungle Disk application files or any machines with multiple users running backups.
  • Network Drives are now connected using JungleFS, a FUSE-based system extension that allows us to overcome file-system bugs in High Sierra and make our application overall more resilient to OS updates. Users will be prompted to allow installation of this extension, which will show as published by “Jungle Disk, LLC.”
  • With the update to JungleFS, Local Drives will now be mounted to a new default location and will have user-level permissions, not system-level permissions. Any process or application without user permissions will not have access to the locally mounted drive.
  • Jungle Disk services now run with user-level permissions instead of system-level permissions. Because of the move to JungleFS, our application files must be in a user’s home directory rather than at the system level. When updating to this version, the app will migrate the files automatically. This may impact some automatic backups or sync folders if the user does not have permission to access the directory being backed up or synced.
  • We’ve updated our compiling and runtime processes to conform to requirements to get our application notarized by Apple. This ensures the native OS can protect against any malicious third-party modifications of the application, and prevents new installations from having to “allow” the app to run after download.

FIXES

  • Fixed a bug with sync database that attempted to change permissions on a file that doesn’t exist anymore.
  • Previously, users of Jungle Disk on macOS Mojave or later had to grant our application full disk access in order to back up any file in directories restricted by the OS. With this update, we will now prompt the user to grant access to specific directories that are part of a backup when it’s being configured or when a preexisting backup runs for the first time after updating

3.31.1 – Nov 15, 2019

FIXES

  • Fixed a bug in 3.31.0 that caused personal AWS S3 Online Disks to fail to connect due to an issue with authenticating requests. (Server, Desktop, and Simply Backup Edition).

3.31.0 – Nov 8, 2019

IMPROVEMENTS

  • For installations with no automatic backup configured, added a prompt to notify and easily configure one if needed.
  • Updated 3rd party dependencies to latest version. (OpenSSL, cURL, wxWidgets, ICU, Expat)
  • Updated the native file system driver on Windows to latest version. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Updated client to optimize throughput for all connection types by default, and removed the “optimize for high-bandwidth” checkbox in Network Settings as it’s now unnecessary.
  • Updated Windows installers to no longer require reboot after install. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Extended the functionality of Backup Cleanup Validation operations. Some customers may have experienced issues during Backup Cleanup, which is when data from storage older than the set retention period is cleaned out. Validation operations are designed to resolve those issues, and this release includes additional functionality around validating cleanups.
  • Added functionality to Backup Cleanup operations to remove unneeded data from backup databases.

FIXES

  • Fixed several bugs in the Setup Wizard/Configuration user interface.
  • Fixed a bug in Server Management connection screen that could cause the application to crash in certain situations when using the filter. (Server Edition)
  • Fixed Cleanup Validation scheduling bug, which would cause validation to happen on data that hadn’t been backed up yet. We fixed the order of those operations.
  • Fixed Windows installer bug for Server 2008. Microsoft introduced a security patch for Server 2008, which caused our Server Edition installers to not recognize that OS. This is now fixed.
  • Fixed Backup Database table schema to handle new Backup Cleanup Validation operations, and prevent some customers from getting a “database error” during cleanup validation.
  • Fixed a bug in Backup Cleanup operation that could cause operations to fail when expiring old data.

3.30.6 and 3.30.7 – Jan 11, 2019

3.12

NEW FEATURES

  • Jungle Disk customers can share files with other individuals, including those who are not Jungle Disk subscribers. You can select a file for sharing in web access, within a Network Drive, or in your OS by right-clicking the file. Linux users also need to download nautilus-jungledisk to share files directly from their OS. This feature is only available on gnome-based desktop environments. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • A new share management page is available at jungledisk.com to manage expiration dates and view the number of downloads. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • The Server edition now includes a search box and added fields, to make it easier to find the server you’d like to connect to when your account contains large numbers of them.
  • The Backup Vault cleanup operation is now selectable in Server Edition as well (it was previously activated for Desktop and Workgroup users).
  • Sub account users can now change their own passwords. An option to enable or disable this capability is available to master account holders via the control panel. (Workgroup Edition)

IMPROVEMENTS

  • The network drive functionality on Windows now has better performance, resolving a few issues reported by our users in the support forums. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Improved the detection of changed files when using the compatibility bucket format, and when using the “Network Drive” disk type on Windows XP. (Workgroup Edition)
  • Improved the compression algorithm used by backup vault databases. Some users may experience a conversion process when Jungle Disk detects that the new algorithm needs to be utilized.
  • Improved robustness and reliability when using backup vaults. Some additional diagnostic capabilities were added during backup cleanups, and extra checking is now performed to ensure that a safety copy of the backup database is uploaded to cloud storage.
  • Improved performance relating to detecting network connections and proxy servers on startup.

FIXES

  • Corrected an issue that caused backup exclusions and nested folders to work incorrectly in some circumstances. Also improved performance with the backup reporting feature.

  • Server edition users can now press a “Change Server” button on the Management client, which returns you to the list of available servers.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Jungle disk is now better at detecting Internet connectivity problems and taking appropriate action when entering offline mode.
  • Backup Vault operations now run at a lower system priority so that other programs are less likely to be slowed down when a backup is running.
  • Jungle Disk now has an improved ability to automatically detect and repair invalid backup vault data.
  • Vault-based backups should run slightly faster, especially when backing up large numbers of files.

FIXES

  • The remaining bullets below apply to Version 3.07
  • Resolved an issue that could lead to the corruption of backup vault databases when the user’s machine runs out of disk space.
  • Resolved an issue which could cause an entire backup database to be re-uploaded after a backup cleanup operation. Now only the changed portion of the database will be uploaded.
  • Corrected an issue that could cause very large backup previews to end without displaying a file list.
  • The “What to Back Up” dialog now correctly displays the total backup size when backup directories are removed from the list.
  • Corrected an issue that sometimes resulted in “Can’t open file” error messages on Windows.
  • Some Windows users experienced a slowdown when using the Legacy WebDAV mode for their mapped online disk. This is related to a Windows proxy settings bug. You can resolve it using this guide: http://oddballupdate.com/2009/12/18/fix-slow-webdav-performance-in-windows-7/ (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • On Windows, Jungle Disk will now only try to send notifications to Growl and Snarl when it detects they are running. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Corrected an issue that could lead to a program crash in the Server Edition Management Client
  • Corrected an issue that prevented the creation of online disks for usernames of two characters or less. (Simply Backup Edition)

3.06

FIXES

  • Certain Backup Vault operations, such as taking over a vault from another computer, can cause files to become stranded in the backup because the backup job that enumerates them (and allows the files to be cleaned up when Jungle Disk detects their deletion) is not necessarily present on the new computer. In these cases, Jungle Disk will automatically mark these files to be deleted after 60 days. This ensures that the files will eventually be cleaned up, but still provides plenty of time to restore them if they are needed.
  • A new compression method was introduced in 3.05, which caused some users to experience larger-than-normal upload sizes when their backup databases were stored on the cloud. This issue is now resolved, and only the changed portions of backup databases are uploaded.
  • Resolved an issue that could prevent users from seeing changes to the network drive or sync folders that originated on other computers. Prior to this change, users sometimes had to disable and re-enable sync to see these changes. (Workgroup Edition)
  • Resolved an issue that could prevent Jungle Disk activity monitor from recognizing that its background service was running under certain circumstances.
  • Resolved an issue that could cause come Windows applications to hang when opening file browser dialogs.
  • Resolved an issue that could cause backup previews to generate a Failed to attach Backup Search Database error.
  • Sync folders manually entered with a name starting with sync will no longer cause an issue in Jungle Disk (Workgroup Edition)
  • Windows users upgrading from previous versions of Jungle Disk may find their network drives appearing as a “Disconnected Network Share”. If this occurs, an additional system reboot may be necessary in order to allow the underlying driver to complete its installation. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Resolved an issue that could cause files to be re-uploaded during a legacy backup, regardless of whether they changed or not. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Linux users will now experience more accurate create and modified timestamps on their network drives. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)

3.05

NEW FEATURES

  • Windows users can now choose not to configure an online disk as a network drive during the setup wizard. (Workgroup Edition)
  • Jungle Disk now supports “One-Way” sync. You can sync files and folders from your network drive to your local volume, and vice-versa, without a requirement to sync them in both directions. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Jungle Disk will now show sync status overlay icons for files on removable media devices. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Jungle Disk now compresses some gateway communication in order to significantly reduce latency for operations resulting in large amounts of data passing between the management client and server. Note that this feature requires that the Server and Management clients be upgraded simultaneously. (Server Edition)
  • Added a configuration option that allows all users to see a network drive under Linux.
  • Added support for Growl and Snarl notifications on Windows, and libNotify notifications on Linux. These features can send messages to your desktop when events associated with Jungle Disk occur.
  • Added the ability to schedule a backup vault cleanup as soon as possible from the monitor’s online disk menu.
  • On Windows, users can now choose to map their online disks to a virtual network share instead of a local removable media device in order to give a better experience when browsing the online disk in Windows Explorer.
  • Restored the Linux command line utility that existed in pre-3.0 versions of Jungle Disk. Run jungledisk –help for details.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Reduced the refresh interval when displaying files in Windows, which prevents interference when renaming files. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Removed the requirement to pause and resume sync in order to initiate sync on external drives and other volumes that were not present when Jungle Disk was started. (Workgroup and Desktop Edition)
  • Dramatically improved reliability when adding folders containing large numbers of files to a backup job. (Server Edition)
