Akeeba Backup 3.3.b1 (beta) is released.
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Akeeba Backup 3.3.b1 which solves several bugs found in the alpha releases.
This version solves all known issues with the alpha versions of the 3.3 series and brings in some new features and compatibility with Joomla! 1.5/1.6/1.7 with the same installation package. For starters, you can now select if you want Live Update to notify you about alpha, beta and RC versions. There is also a post-setup wizard which helps you setting up Akeeba Backup's optional features when you install it for the first time or upgrade it. The component also got smarter, self-diagnosing when its tables are corrupt and attempting to repair them. Furthermore, users of the Professional release will appreciate the new feature which allows you to (re-)upload archives to remote storage. This allows you, for example, to have a master site, take a backup and then upload the archive to, say, five different hosts, giving an easy head start in your effort to build five sites. It's that easy! Finally, we got busy with cleaning up our user interface and making it look properly on even more back-end templates, including RocketTheme's MissionControl and the upcoming Nooku Server Alpha 3.
As always, you can download the free version, Akeeba Backup Core, from our Downloads page without any charge. If you are a Professional subscriber you can download the Akeeba Backup Professional release from the same page. Limited support is provided free of charge to all users of the Core release through our Free Support Forum. Subscribers get full support either through the forum or, if you are an AKEEBADELUXE or SUPPORT subscriber, through our top-priority Private Ticket support system.
