Just got it.  Thanks, Frank

I hadn't seen it yet.  Just did a manual update and got it.  No issues as of yet

I used to work for a large enterprise.  We did test recovery (of the whole system, from a bare machine upwards) in a machine hall that - for the duration of the test - had no production workload in it.  These tests usually ran from late Friday thru late-Sunday and started with the assumption that emergency services wouldn't allow any of the professional IT people into the machine room.  So instructions were written for, and tested by, non-IT people - so that eg a fireman might be able to do the initial actions which actually had to be done physically rather than electronically/remotely.  It was, of course, expensive to plan, build and test these recovery systems.  We also hosted disaster recovery tests at our site for subsidiary companies in the group. 

Again interesting, but didn't sound like a real life test.   Best solution for Ransomware is to never let it get near your system.   Hard, but not impossible by any means.

In the case of larger scale ransomware attacks, restoring from backups is not economically feasible.  Which is why many companies, enterprises, and governmental agencies often choose to pay the ransom.  From the financial perspective it is much cheaper, and operational it gets the data back much quicker.

Interesting.  Actually from what I've run most enterprises folks don't test their backups, so there not sure if they work, or how to use them.  Also people don't realize but when you have a disaster you are going to be under stress.  Not the time to learn a restore process.  For all the beta testers, you want real excitement try beta testing imaging restores.

Win 7 auto updated here

Just got the update.  All seems fine

Hi Frank

Just auto updated.  All seems well.

Pete

Only way for 100% recovery is back images you can restore.  That does work.

Also working fine on Win 7 Pro.   Didn't even realize it updated

As I said it isn't a problem for me.  For trusted installer to run I have to turn off Appguard, which I do for installs, but when EAM updates is on Appguard blocks it and so it doesn't bother me.

As far as I know it's only supposed to check for that during installation. I'll ask QA for confirmation about that.

Arthur

Thanks for checking.  I hope you are correct but fear not.   Still don't see why they can't just check for that one KB instead of going thru the whole list.

The KB IS installed, but EAM still causes TrustedInstaller to run on every startup.  And it takes the same large waste of time

Arrg,  It indeed is EAM that is the culprit.  It does this on all Win 7 installations.  There is one KB that has to be installed for  updates  to be successful.   The really stupid thing is it doesn't just check for that KB it goes thru everyone of the ones installed on your system.

I've solved the problem with a selective block on Trustedinstaller.exe

Pete

Not sure this is totally related to EAM.   I seen other occasions where I had to use Cntrl-C and V where the right click didn't work.  Seems to be a windows thing and this is on Win 7

I just a right click scan in explorer of a 91gb file.  Quick with no issues.   Of course this is Win 7 pro x64

Smooth upgrade.   Doesn't sound like  much changed

You shouldn't need to.  I install  and uninstall stuff all the time and EAM never bothers me

Smooth update here.   Neat new feature, but will have to play with it a bit.

Thanks,  Frank

Just got upgraded to 9715.   Smooth upgrade.

I would fully concur in that your are safe in letting Support connect to your computer.  I know I have done it.

Pete

I've seen other posts that echo the confusion.   Spacing could be improved.

Our updates are distributed via CDN.

Okay after a little homework I get it.   Next question how secure are they.  Apologies is this seems like nit picking, but I need to know.

The context is something like  happened to Quickbooks  Online, where no one knew they were hosted by a third party until the hosting party was hit with a ransomware attack and users were locked out for almost a week.

I want to here from them.  If they aren't theirs then they aren't trust worthy.   Ask Quickbooks Online users about how they feel now.

Am I correct in assuming these are actually Emisoft servers and not servers leased by Emsisoft but operated by a third party
