   CloudPull 2.1.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Golden Hill Software has released [1]version 2.1.1 of its CloudPull
   Google-data backup application, which fixes a critical bug where
   certain email messages were not backed up properly and prevented the
   app from reporting a backup failure. John Brayton of Golden Hill
   Software apologizes for this in the [2]release notes, writing that
   while this bug affected less than 1 percent of messages, 'a bug that
   provides a false sense of security with regard to the backup status is
   very serious.' After the update is installed, CloudPull searches for
   bad message backups in the mail backup repository, deletes the message
   backup and marks it as failed, and then backs that message up again (if
   it's still present in Gmail). As a result of this process, the first
   backup cycle after updating may take a few hours.

   While version 2.1.1 hasn't made it to the [3]Mac App Store yet (Brayton
   has requested an expedited review), customers who purchased the app
   through the Mac App Store can download the update from the CloudPull
   Web site. The direct download edition recognizes the Mac App Store
   purchase and will run the app as a fully licensed copy. ($24.99 new,
   free update, 7.6 MB)
