This Service Pack resolves the following issues:

In rare cases, the Backup Exec Continuous Protection Agent service ( RxService) could crash during synchronization or when creating a snapshot when the previous snapshot had been deleted by an external source.
Synchronization failures that could occur under rare circumstances.
A restore job would have to be deleted if the Business Server was restarted before the job had completed.
A rapid succession of network outages could cause dynamic (continuous) protection to stop, requiring the job to be restarted.
Backup Exec Retrieve now displays backup data originating in a hidden folder share and in a volume level share.
CPS restore jobs can now be stopped or canceled when running.
