> Take the 'Other Tasks' > 'View Windows Events' menu option.
* Note: Windows Events are now also appended to the VSS log file.
# Bug fixes:

* Scheduled task edit bug
- Changing a task from 'Every Day' to 'n Number of Days' could cause the task to not reflect the change. This has been resolved.

# New:
* Improved restore and cloning speed
- Image restore and cloning functionality has been optimized to increase data throughput.
