• Updated documentation to correctly reflect that the XP CD Burning Wizard only supports burning CDs, and not DVDs.  DVD burning is only supported under Vista or later.

December 10, 2007 version 1.2:

• Bug fix: The option "File / Options... / Remove Excluded Files/Folders from Uncompressed Backup" was not working properly when the backup source was a network share path.
• Bug fix: Compressed backups would fail when certain special characters were present in filenames.

November 13, 2007 version 1.1:

• Added "Internal Scheduler" option.  Can now use either the built-in internal scheduler, or the Windows Task Scheduler to launch scheduled backup jobs.  The internal scheduler can be useful when the user account has an empty password.  On Windows XP and later, the default behavior of the Task Scheduler is to not run tasks for users with an empty password.
• Added capability to override requirement that Windows Task Scheduler jobs have a non-empty password.  Starting with Windows XP, the default behavior is to not allow scheduled tasks when the user's password is empty.  This is a security precaution.  When this situation occurs, Safe Data Backup will now give you the choice of overriding this behavior, so that Windows Task Scheduler can run jobs when the user has an empty password.  [more info]
