What's new in version 9.16:

 

• In disk imaging task (on demand imaging):
  - All supported data protection/write-blocker adaptors are now 'recommended' type of source (storage protection from activity of running OS);
  - Fixed several bugs (retries, 'source loss' condition etc.);
  - Changed default configuration for Tier1 imaging (no extra retries, enabled two-pass imaging);
  
• Added sharing of 'file type check' information from scan result to filtered scan result;
  
• Added possibility to enable log file (journal) scan for quick scan of NTFS file system (default is 'off');
  
• EXT3/4 (In 'quick' scan/indexing): processing of journal is now made optional (default is 'off');
