MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.8 Brings New Folder Support and UI Fixes
Friday, September 12, 2025

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MiniTool Software Limited announced a new version of its Windows backup software: MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.8. This release supports creating and renaming new folders when selecting a backup destination, improves interface display, and fixes several known issues.

What's New in MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.8?

    1. Destination Folder Creating and Renaming: In MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.8,
       users can create new folders and rename existing ones when selecting a
       target destination. This enhancement makes it easier to organize and
       manage backup files. For instance, you can create separate folders for
       system backups, personal documents, or work projects, and rename them in
       ways that suit your needs. By reducing confusion and improving file
       management efficiency, this feature ensures that the right backup can be
       located quickly whenever system/file restoration is required.
    2. Clearer Mount Prompts: The mounting process provides more detailed
       prompts after the update, informing users where to view the mounted
       volume.
    3. Updated Interface Icons: The menu icon in Manage has been updated in
       MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.8. The original three-dot icon confused some
       users, so it has been replaced with a clearer three-line icon for better
       recognition.
    4. USB Media Creation Fix: Fixed an issue where the bootable media creation
       tool did not support a USB hard drive in the previous versions.
    5. Addressed Shared Disk Adding Failure: This update resolved an issue in
       the bootable edition where adding previously backups from a shared drive
       would get stuck on the Shared interface.
    6. Enhanced Media Builder Display: The issue of Media Builder display on
       high-DPI screens has been resolved, ensuring all UI elements are visible.
    7. Additional Fixes and Improvements: MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.8 also resolved
       several user-reported issues, including blocking multiple instances from
       running, preventing the window from reappearing after clicking Show
       Desktop, and making file sync navigation more user-friendly.
