• Added: New option in Options tab: "Ignore 1 hour time delay on file compare (NTFS daylight fix)". This option solves the NTFS one hour file time difference when daylight saving is enabled. When using Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, it's possible to use two file systems, FAT32 or NTFS. While FAT32 stores the local time of files, NTFS stores the GMT (English standard time) of the files. When going from Summer (daylight saving) time to Winter (normal) time, the local timestamps on FAT32 will remain the same, while files on NTFS drives will have the time changed by 1 hour because the time zone difference to GMT changes  by one hour. Therefore files on FAT32 and NTFS drives which had identical times before the time change will suddenly be different. Thanks to this new option, the files can still be detected as dentical if time difference between them is exactly one hour.

If a command line grb file is specified, instead, a second copy of the program is allowed because it works on a different configuration.
• Added: When the Verify after the Backup is enabled and exists a Task that emails the last report log the program attaches two separate files: one for the backup and  one for the verify operation.
