Drive Eraser 6.7.0 / Configuration Tool 2.6.0 - Release notes

Features:

  • ALBUS-6002 - Improving the detection of faulty drives / Hotplug timeout.
    • In case Blancco Drive Eraser - BDE is used to erase loose drives, there is a new setting "Hotplug timeout" to set the timeout before the detection of a newly plugged drive is stopped.
    • Faulty drives are particularly slow to detect and this timeout will help to spot them before they compromise the stability of the software.
  • ALBUS-5249, ALBUST-469 - Hardware diagnostics: Webcam.
    • BDE offers a new hardware diagnostic for the webcam.
    • The user will be able to take snapshots to check the webcam condition.
  • ALBUS-5495, ALBUST-476 - Detect and erase attached flash devices.
    • BDE can now detect flash devices connected to a machine (e.g. SD card in a laptop, USB stick plugged to the motherboard of a server, etc.).
    • When detected, BDE will show a popup recommending to remove those devices that can contain user data.
    • Flash devices can also be erased if this feature is enabled in Drive Eraser Configuration Tool.
  • ALBUS-6003 - Two-way communication: job specification on the drive level.
    • The Two-Way Communication allows the customer's Asset Management System - AMS to send customized erasure settings (job specification) to BDE (through the Blancco Management Console - BMC).
    • This process has been expanded to loose drives: the AMS can send customized erasure settings to loose drives connected to an erasure station.
  • ALBUS-6025 - Two-way communication: show the completed process without turning off the asset.
    • Before, a machine running BDE with the "Two-Way Communication" was turned off at the end of the erasure process.
    • The job specification can now be configured to let the machine turned on (idling) after a completed process.
  • ALBUS-3841, ALBUST-80 - Time zone support for reports.
    • BDE has time zone support for reports. This is important to prevent time discrepancies in case the machine running BDE and the machine running BMC are in different time zones.
    • In addition to this, the date/time/time zone are shown beside the icons in the BDE user interface.
  • ALBUS-6001, ALBUST-475 - Support for Slovak language.
    • New language support, the user interface is now translated in Slovak.
