An issue where certain Perc RAID controllers were not being correctly handled for Server 2003 and SBS 2003 was raised. An issue where a configured network logon default would not match correctly with an XML definition was raised.

A scheduled task may not run if the path or the xml file name contained '-full', '-inc' or '-diff'. * Scheduled backup tasks now present a postpone option if the backup notification delay has been set in the Defaults
