  • Edgebyte Backup

    Edgebyte is pleased to be able to offer a market-leading secure online backup facility. We are responding to growing demand from our customers in this area and the continually improving broadband technology available to provide a service that enables users to send us backups over the Internet.

    By selecting Edgebyte as your online backup provider, you have the additional advantage that any Lawbyte support requests can be acted on immediately in cases that we need a local copy of your data, as it would already be with us.

    Main Features

    • Simplified installer and configuration tool
    • Automated backup
    • Compression of your data before transmission
    • Secured using industry-standard 128 bit SSL during transfer
    • Encrypted, secure, fault-tolerant storage once at Edgebyte
    • Ability to backup non-Lawbyte data (by agreement)
    • Periodic manual integrity check on your Lawbyte data
    • Monitoring of the regularity of your backups to ensure that you (and we) are notified of any problems with your backup arrangements, as soon as they happen

    In the New Year we will be launching a secure area on our website where you can securely access backups that you have previously sent, as well as being able to send us a backup from any web browser regardless of whether you have Edgebyte Backup installed or not.

    A valid Lawbyte license entitles the holder to one free backup per month. Backups over and above that number will be billable by arrangement once Edgebyte Backup becomes fully matured.

    This version will be included on the next main Lawbyte release/update CD, but is available now on request for free as a seperate release, and also by download from our website here.

    As with our other products, Edgebyte Backup is supported by telephone, by email, and through dedicated support forums on our website.

    Requirements: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, or Windows 98 (see notes). Broadband connection with un-firewalled access to Edgebyte servers via HTTPS (port 443).

    Edgebyte Backup service is provided on a "best effort" basis - you should not rely solely on our service, but instead use Edgebyte Backup as a second defence against data loss.

  • Lawbyte Seminars announced

    We are pleased to announce that we will be offering two Lawbyte seminars on 15 March 2007 - a "first steps" seminar in the morning, and an advanced course that afternoon.

    They will be held in Birmingham at a venue yet to be announced. Pricing will be £100 + VAT per person per seminar.

    For more details please call us here on 01253 290300.

    Look out for our mailshot nearer the time!

  • Edgebyte Feedback Client released

    Edgebyte Feedback Client is an application that lets Edgebyte gather valuable feedback about any of our products from our end-users.

    It places two icons - a smiley icon and a frown icon - into the system tray. To send feedback, simply click either icon, provide some simple details, and click send. We then receive those details along with a screenshot to illustrate .

    To install, just run setup.exe. If needed, you will be prompted to install the Microsoft .NET Framework, which the feedback client requires. Uninstallation is through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

    The app is installed into your Startup folder, so it will first appear in your system tray after a reboot. To avoid a reboot, find the item in your Start menu and run it from there.

    Anyone may download and use this software without any restrictions from the following URL:

  • Lawbyte 8, Office 2007 and Windows Vista

    We've done some preliminary testing of Lawbyte 8.06.1 on a Windows XP SP2 machine running the forthcoming version of Microsoft Office 2007 and we are pleased to report that it works fine.

    Lawbyte itself will not run with the version of Access that Microsoft will be shipping with Office 2007, but instead will use the Access 2003 runtime that is included on the CD. That seems quite happy installed on the same machine as Access 2007. Installation is per a normal Lawbyte installation.

    We are also pleased to report that Lawbyte 8.06.1 also works with the forthcoming Windows Vista.

    There is a new section in the forums dedicated to running Lawbyte in either of these environments.
