This is a fix for the SecurityException issue to do with timestamps in the future not being allowed. The problem is that our backup software requires your computer clock to be closely syncronised to the clock on our backup server (to within a couple of seconds)

This fix significantly relaxes those restrictions, allowing differences of up to an hour between the two clocks.

  • Download the fix on to the desktop of the machine with the backup software installed 
  • Make sure Edgebyte Backup is closed
  • Double-click the fix on your desktop. You will not receive any confirmation that the patch was applied.
  • Proceed to do a test backup
    • If you have installed Edgebyte Backup as a scheduled task:
      • Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Scheduled Tasks
      • Right click the Edgebyte Backup task and click Run.
    • If you have not installed Edgebyte Backup as a scheduled task:
      • Start -> All Programs -> Lawbyte -> Edgebyte Backup
      • Load your backup configuration
      • Click "Start Backup"
    • Please call Edgebyte to make sure that your backup succeeded.

This fix is currently necessary for the version of Edgebyte Backup available on our website and also the version included on the 8.06 CDs. 

Advanced users may wish to modify the c:\Program Files\Lawbyte\Edgebyte Backup Client\EdgebyteBackup.exe.config by adding the following text:

<microsoft.web.services2>
  <!--...some other stuff here...-->
 
  <security>
    <timeToleranceInSeconds>3600</timeToleranceInSeconds>
  </security>
</microsoft.web.services2>

 
  <security>
    <timeToleranceInSeconds>1800</timeToleranceInSeconds>
  </security>
</microsoft.web.services2>

A future version will fetch the current "Edgebyte Time" from our backup server here and warn you if your clock is significantly wrong before attempting to send your backup over to us.
