Fab's AutoBackup 6 Pro - a must have tool for techs

[fabs]

Hey Fab, i went to get the latest version and noticed you're giving a 3 user license of Emsisoft for one year! I wanted to get on that train so I purchased a copy of Fabs Autobackup (dont argue ) to get the EAM license.
But I cant seem to download it anywhere?
Note say "download links are disable because the product is marked as delivered"
Not worried about the copy of Fabs but would like the EAM key please.

You should have received the key in your order confirmation email.
By the way, since the order status is delivered, your download link should work.

Thank you. License key in confirmation Email.

Edit: It was about time I paid for another copy. I've made plenty with it!

One (noob) question: is Fabs Auto Backup 6 Pro a lifetime purchase or a 1 years license? i didn't see anywhere that information :\

 

[PBComputer]

Life time licence.

Fab's AutoBackup 6 Pro is a one time purchase and comes with updates unlimited in time.
This is going to change with Fab's AutoBackup 7 to come : the program will come with one year updates. After this delay, to continue updating it, users will have to renew the license by ordering a new one. Just to be clear: the program will not stop working after one year, it will just be impossible to get updates until a new license is ordered.

Thanks for the reply, so when will you be launching the new fab's 7? and what will the cost be for the purchase and the renewal?

It is still in development, so, I cannot tell when it will be out. I hope that could be possible within a month or two. About the licensing costs, it is things that I still have to think about because if I do it wrong, this will be very hard for me to get users trust back.

For what it saves you in time it shouldn't matter what it costs. You can't run your business effectively without it.
Just buy a copy now and buy v7 when it comes out.

 

[fabs]

Hold on - that's commie pinko talk!

Buy a copy now, and then buy v7 if there are features or improvements in it to justify the purchase.

Don't get me wrong - my Fab's 6 is one of the first things I'd grab when leaving a burning building, but we need to keeps @fabs on his toes or he'll have no incentive to make a great product even greater. We've all seen how subscription-based products can degenerate into cash cows (no names, no pack-drill - but you know who I mean) and I'd hate to see Fab's (or @fabs) go the same way.

I'd gladly give Fabrice one of my kidneys*, but an income for life? That's something else.


* If he really, really needed it. Not as a tip. That would be weird.

Once again, Fab’s AutoBackup is not going to subscription model. I have clearly understood that it is the wrong path to take. That is why I choose to include updates for a year instead. Software keeps working like it has always done even without renewal. This way, if I want to keep receiving incomes, I have to make it even better every time or no one will want to renew because of the lack of new features!

Btw: Keep your kidney please [emoji6]

I'll probably buy v7 anyway, simply out of gratitude for v6.

+1

No. its not. We all make money with this time saver.
Although I didn't have to, I bought another copy of Fabs out of gratitude for the ease and convenience it provides and savings in time.
But it's not just the program. Many times I've PM'd Fab with problems that he has helped with. I just wanted to give back.
It also came with a free 3 user Emsisoft license that I can onsell to cover the cost of Fabs.
Everyone wins.

Fab's AutoBackup 6 Pro V6.13.3.31540 has just been released.

Change log:

Added :
- Windows 10 Sticky Notes support. Note: Windows 7/8 Sticky Notes cannot be transferred to Windows 10 and vice-versa.

Fixed :
- Important copy speed improvement when performing restore and transfer jobs.
- Speed up Google Chrome profile processing by excluding more cache files by default than with older releases.
- There could be some warnings about file dates differences (one second) between source and copied files when copying to a FAT, FAT32 or exFAT drive.
- The program could crash when selecting the entire C drive in the additional folders section. Note that this is still not advised since there are a large amount of files in use by Windows and other processes that will not be copied and generate errors. At lease, it is possible to cancel this selection now. If you need to backup something unusual on the C Drive, just expand it and select the right folder instead.
- Blank error messages could appear and block the copy process when the target file could not be created.


Grab it from your orders history's details on the shop's website or using the bundled updater tool (click the "Fab's AutoBackup 6.X is available" link within the program and get the updated files).

Thanks Fab. I've had these warnings a lot and have been meaning to report it but couldn't figure out the conditions that made it occur. My backup drives aren't FAT so I don't know what caused it for me, but hopefully it's fixed anyway.

Great work Fabs, look forward to version 7. This tool I have used soooo much and been so convenient. With customization to suit your own business is great ie - branding is great. Just wish I could change fonts type lol.
