Akeeba Backup 3.3.8 just released
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Akeeba Backup 3.3.8, a hotfix release. This release addresses the erratic behaviour of the System Restore Point feature in Akeeba Backup Professional 3.3.5 up to and including 3.3.7.
The System Restore Points feature would misbehave under some circumstances, based on what the settings of your default backup profile were. Akeeba Backup Professional 3.3.8 addresses these issues and makes sure that the System Restore Points feature can now work much more reliably.
Moreover, this version includes some user experience improvements for issues reported by Joomla! co-founder Brian Teeman. We would like to sincerely thank him for the time he spent over emails and Skype chats with us to let us improve the experience for users of Akeeba Backup!
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; just make sure you are logged in before visiting the download page. Alternatively, you can use the integrated Live Update feature of our software to update it automatically on supported server environments.
