I've recently completed both an update to an existing backup and a full new backup of my Sooloos lib. It took a few day to complete but it went thought without a single hitch. However, this was on a PC running Control:PC.
The PC and all Sooloos equipment are hardwired to LAN switches.
I wonder if there is a installation issue when running on Macs.
Have any Control:Mac users completed a backup that went fine since this update?
FYI, I also ran a back up on a Windows 8.1 PC all wired with no problems. I had no problems with a native export either.

No 18 in the Hall of fame I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best: GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone
I too am having problems with backup crashing after the update. Using control Mac I normally back up to a USB disk connected directly to the Mac and also to a Networked NAS. Control Mac crashes during backup to both.

861v8+ID41, DSP8000, DSP5200HC, DSP5200, HD621, Lumagen Radiance XD, Panasonic TH50VX100, Dune 3.0. All controlled via Philips Pronto 9600 & iPad 3. (Living room). MS200, DSP320's speakers (Kitchen). Roon server on i7 Sonictransport supplying the 861,MS200 and a couple of SB touch. Explorer for my Mac Pro.
Same here in the U.S. (ControlMac), 10.10.2 yosemite, backup storage provided via NFS to a FreeNas NAS. Flawless until a couple of days ago (first backup since update).
I've not seen bandwidth requirements for Tidal on Sooloos, but for Sonos it is:
Quote
5 Mbs is the minimum broadband speed required to stream FLAC from TIDAL on Sonos. If streaming different FLAC music to multiple speakers, we recommend a higher broadband speed. This requirement can vary based on your internet usage (large file downloads, gaming, video streaming, etc.).
5.0 Megabits per second - 1 FLAC stream
7.5 Megabits per second - 2 FLAC streams
10 Megabits per second - 3 or more FLAC streams
Update: according to Meridian America via my PP dealer, Tidal on Sooloos needs an Internet connection with at least 1.5 Mbps download speed. (No idea why different from the Sonos spec.). A "speed test" of our present connection showed it comes up short. Coincidentally, the most recent Sooloos firmware update fixed a problem in which end points dropped off line. (Which appears also to be indicative of too slow internet download speed.). Our next stop is upgrade of our cable connection. Thanks for your guidance folks.

Main: 861v8, 818v3, 8000XE, 7200HCUSE, 7200.2, Roon Nucleus+, Shunyata Everest w/ Sigma XC and Alpha NR's, HD621, Oppo 103D, Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma. RJ45 switch on master SpeakerLink lines to select 861 or 818, Etherregen & ENO AG feeding the 818, M-Links. Room #2: 5200.2s from M218.
I'm on OS X 10.9.5 and I have not been able to perform a backup since the upgrade. I decided to trace Control:Mac during a backup using the dtruss DTrace script. You can see the tail end of the trace until Control:Mac crashes here. My backup went through updating a few albums, but crashed trying to transfer the first of four new albums.
This part seems salient:

The album at the top of this snippet is one I imported from CD yesterday, so I'm not sure exactly the error message that follows is related. (incomplete) Tidal integration may be the cause here. One thing that seems worth trying is removing all Tidal albums in the Library to see if that makes a difference.
