Schmitz Econ Technologies has released [1]ChronoSync 4.8.2, which tweaks the 'Optimization' phase of bootable backup tasks so that the destination volumes boot more efficiently and reliably (particularly with a macOS 10.13 High Sierra). The synchronization and backup app also resolves a hang that occurred when scheduling a task if the date fell after a Daylight Savings Time-to-Standard Time transition, prevents a crash that could occur when running a container task that encapsulated multiple sync/backup tasks, and fixes a bug that turned the 'Strict volume identification' setting to off as a default if specifying a destination target that resided on an APFS file system.
