Good Backup 0.1.4 is an Apple Silicon Mac beta released October 16, 2026. It adds a cancel control and makes long health errors readable. Windows and Linux remain on their earlier 0.1.0 beta packages.
Cancel a running backup
While a manual or scheduled backup is running, Activity and the menu bar show Cancel Backup. The app asks for confirmation, then requests a graceful stop from its own backup process. It waits for that process to finish rather than removing a repository lock underneath it.
Earlier saved snapshots remain available. Cancel does not delete the vault or start a restore. The current run may need a little time to stop and release its lock.
Health messages that fit
Activity now shows a short, wrapped health status and a Details button for the full error. A successful health check clears an old health warning. A repository lock must still be resolved safely; the new layout does not clear or ignore it.
Beta boundary
The Mac package was built and signature-checked locally, and the public beta ZIP is on the official MadeByGoodTools release. This does not establish a successful backup-and-restore cycle on every computer.
Windows and Linux remain at 0.1.0 and still need device testing. Keep another working backup until Good Backup has completed a backup and a restore on your own device.
