What's Changed

See all protection in one place — a new overview shows Server Compass app data and every VPS as protected, manual-only, or not protected, with the latest backup or snapshot and a direct path to set up anything missing
Schedule server backups from the app — turn automatic backups on without leaving Server Compass
Run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly at the time you choose
Keep the latest 3, 7, 14, or 30 backups and choose the storage destination
Create standard backups for in-place recovery or portable snapshots for moving and rebuilding a VPS
Back up any server folder you choose — add extra files, configuration folders, or logs outside your managed apps, then select individual folders when restoring
Preserve firewall and login-protection settings — include security settings in server backups; during a restore, Server Compass places them in a review folder with instructions and never applies them automatically, so a bad rule cannot lock you out of SSH
Choose how updates appear — use a subtle sidebar notice, open the full update window automatically, or keep update checks silent
Download and install updates automatically — let Server Compass download in the background and apply the update when you quit, or start a background download manually and keep working
Set your own update-check schedule — choose how often Server Compass checks while it is running, check only at launch, or run a check immediately

Manage each server's protection from one Backups tab — scheduled backups and portable snapshots now live together instead of being split across two screens
Choose the right protection with clearer names and guidance — Server Compass App Data, Server Backups, Server Snapshots, Device Sync, and Storage now explain what each option protects and when to use it
Manage shared backup storage from a dedicated screen — see the destinations and passphrases used by app-data backups, server backups, cloud snapshots, and device sync in one place
See backup health before you act — view the last result, next scheduled run, chosen storage destination, and included contents at a glance
Keep working while updates download — the sidebar shows download progress and changes to "Relaunch to update" when ready, without interrupting your work unless you choose full-window alerts
Receive urgent security fixes after the normal update period — security-critical releases can still be offered even when a Pro license's included update period has ended
Understand Free and Pro more clearly — the redesigned License screen groups feature differences, shows device and update details, and explains the exact benefit when you reach a Free-plan limit
Find the right purchase or renewal option — activate, compare device tiers, renew updates, view the StoicSoft Complete bundle, or check loyalty savings for your next StoicSoft app from one place

Fixed server backup actions using the default storage instead of the destination chosen for that server — running a backup, viewing history and details, and restoring now all use the selected destination
Fixed downloads stopping permanently after a Wi-Fi, VPN, or other connection change — interrupted background downloads now retry automatically
Fixed macOS sometimes reopening the old version or showing "Too many attempts to install" — repeated checks and clicks no longer restart the same installation, and Server Compass now exits fully so the update can finish
Fixed update progress disappearing after closing the update window or reopening the app window — the sidebar and update window now reconnect to the active download or ready-to-install state
