 We have recently identified and confirmed a critical bug found in CloudBacko Pro / Lite / Home (v5.1.4.0 to v5.1.4.21) that affects all types of Backup Sets, where source backup data is >32MB, resulting in unrestorable v5.1.4.x data. We have recently identified and confirmed a critical bug found in CloudBacko Pro / Lite / Home (v5.1.4.0 to v5.1.4.21) that affects all types of Backup Sets, where source backup data is >32MB, resulting in unrestorable v5.1.4.x data.
