Mac Client 5.0.8

This release of the Watchman Monitoring Client introduces some key features for our subscribers.

We have updated our Daylite Client & Server plugins to support Daylite better than ever before.  Watchman Monitoring now reports the sync activity for all Mac OS Clients as they interact with their version 3 or version 4 Daylite Server.

We want to thank MarketCircle for allowing our subscribers to take better care of their Daylite-using clients.

For our subscribers who support LightSpeed Retail, we’ll notify you as your clients’ Maintenance Plans come up for renewal. Our BackupMinder freeware allows archival of LightSpeed’s daily backup file (with images).

Under the hood, this version allows for enhanced auto-update options as we move to the Watchman Monitoring Server version 4.

  • Feature Support for Daylite Client 4
  • Feature Additional plugin provides alerts for LightSpeed Retail Maintenance Plan Expiration
  • Feature New plugin to list Excluded Items from Time Machine Backups
  • Feature New plugin to provide demographics of a Kerio Connect mailserver’s mailstore
  • Updated Support for Time Machine with multiple backup destinations
  • Bugfix Increased reliability when using SoftRAID volumes
  • Bugfix Corrected issue which failed to warn in certain cases when a client booted from a bootable backup
