What's New

Bug Fix: Backup Edits Now Take Effect Immediately

Fixed an issue where changes to backup sources (adding or removing folders) wouldn't take effect until restarting Relica. Now your edits apply right away without requiring a restart.

Security Improvements

  • Enhanced path validation — Added additional security checks to the local web interface
  • Stronger TLS settings — Restricted connections to use only the strongest modern cipher suites
  • Rate limiting — Added protection against brute-force login attempts
  • Password reset security — Reset tokens now expire after 24 hours

Visual Feedback

When you start a backup, the status now shows "Just now" immediately instead of waiting for the backup to complete. This gives you instant feedback that your backup has started.

Server Improvements

Improved reliability for billing operations and cloud storage connections with automatic retry on transient failures.

Platform Availability

  • Windows — Available now
  • Linux — Available now
  • macOS — Coming soon (v1.0.5 current)

Compatibility

Relica 2.0.3 is fully compatible with versions 2.0.2 and earlier. No configuration changes are needed.

Upgrade Instructions

Relica will automatically notify you when 2.0.3 is available. To update manually, download the latest version from the downloads page and replace your existing installation.

Coming Soon

  • macOS v2.x release
  • Additional interface improvements

Thank you for using Relica!
