Beta Track

From time to time, we'd like your feedback on new features before making them available to everyone. This Beta Track is available to all users with a Canister license eligible for updates and support.

Do not use Beta software in production - it's not ready yet!

macOS

Queuing Beta 3

All the good stuff from the previous Betas (Queuing, Independent Transfers), plus these fixes:

• Erase, Rename, and Repair are no longer greyed out when a Tape Library is detected.

• Connect will update correctly when Queued transfers are removed.

• Various under-the-hood tweaks you can't see, but will make your LTO life better.

Known issues:

• Progress bars sometimes redraw themselves. Tell us if you find anything else!

Windows

Tape Migration Beta 1

A first look at Tape-to-Tape Migration, plus a dedicated window to show transfer progress.

• Migrate from one LTFS-formatted tape to another.

• Intelligent buffering to prevent shoe shining - works best with a flash-based boot drive.

• New navigation buttons and a dedicated Transfers view.

Feedback & Bug Reports

We like to hear when something is working well, but perhaps more importantly, we need to know when something isn't. Feedback can be sent in-app via the Contact Support button. Bonus points for notes on how to reproduce any unexpected behavior.
