Difference between builds 6569(April28) and 6559(April 24)

Thread needs solution

I have only recently updated to Acronis 2016 build 6559 on 24 April

Now another update build 6569 dated 28 April with similar if not identical release notes.

After I update any programme I use ccleaner and then do a complete defrag which takes time and then back everything up which also takes time.

What I want to know is what the latest release offers the previous one does not so I can decide if all the hassle is worth it.  So can anyone please say how the 2 builds above differ?

Thanks Richard

Richard, short answer is that no one has yet told us what the differences are between 6559 and 6569 though this has been asked multiple times.

On the subject of doing a complete defrag, I am sure that you are aware that this in effect will render any incremental or differential backup images to be of a similar size to a full backup image as Acronis detects changes at a sector level and defrag is touching most if not all sectors!

If 6559 is working for you, you probably don't need to update.  The info I received was that 6569 may resolve the following if you experience:

-Crash at console closing 

-Failure to mount encrypted archive in Windows explorer

From what i experienced during the update to 6569, it also no longer kills Windows Explorer during the update process like v6559 was doing.

 

Thanks Steve  I realise about the inc and diff thing

 

And thanks Bobbo, when you say "probably dont need" it is a question of information not yet given by Acronis about the essential difference between these 2 builds.

 

I think I will wait a bit.  It seems to me that many softwares are "beta tested" by us consumers these days.  TomTom and Windows 10 for instance!!

B6569 also corrects the issue described in this thread https://forum.acronis.com/forum/116810#comment-353520.

Hello Richard,

As correctly pointed out by Bobbo_3C0X1 the new build 6569 is just a hotfix for two issues:

- True Image crashes on close when backup is scheduled for later execution
- crash when trying to mount an encrypted disk backup

It does not contain major changes in comparison to the previous build.

Thank you,

Thank you all for helpful info.
