AMBCT - Update Note

New Features

• Introduced native disk benchmarking system
→ Replaces previous WinSAT-based measurement
→ Uses direct I/O for accurate read/write performance

• Added CPU performance benchmark
→ Measures compression-related processing speed
→ Improves estimation accuracy

• Implemented dynamic ETA calculation
→ Based on real CPU, read, and write speeds
→ Uses lowest value as effective bottleneck

• Enhanced backup time estimation accuracy
→ Reflects real-world hardware limitations

• Improved benchmark integration in workflow
→ Seamless execution during backup preparation

• Optimized path handling for benchmark operations
→ Automatically resolves file paths to directories

• Fixed benchmark failure in append mode
→ Corrected handling of target paths pointing to files

• Fixed incorrect disk speed readings
→ Eliminated OS cache influence from measurements

• Removed dependency on WinSAT disk benchmarking
→ Replaced with custom native implementation

• Removed support for 32-bit (x86) systems
→ Application is now 64-bit only

• Benchmark system now provides reliable real-world performance data
→ Ensures more stable and predictable backup operations

• This version may still contain bugs
→ Any known or newly discovered issues will be addressed in upcoming minor updates (v1.61, v1.62, etc.)
