The SBM Console is for administrators to configure the SBM Service, e.g. adding users, checking the profiles results, etc.

Communication with the SBM Service is via HTTP, TCP/IP, or name pipes, so it can be used over the Internet or via a Local Area Network. All communication is encrypted and access is restricted by using usernames and passwords.

SyncBackFree has every feature that the old SyncBack V3 freeware had and far more besides. No features have been removed.

Unicode: The old SyncBack V3 freeware could not cope with non-English filenames without tweaking settings in the Windows operating system. Even then it could only handle filenames in English and one other language. SyncBackFree can cope with filenames in any language.

Unlimited filename lengths: The old SyncBack V3 freeware could not use files whose total filename length was over 260 characters long. SyncBackFree has no practical restriction on filename lengths.

Selections and actions: SyncBackFree allows you to select, in detail, which files and folders to include in a backup. The options are far more powerful than were available in the old SyncBack V3 freeware. You can now also review the actions that will be performed and change them.

Newer versions of Windows: The old SyncBack V3 freeware was never tested or designed to be used on anything newer than Windows XP. SyncBackFree is designed for and tested on all versions of Windows from XP to the latest Windows 8. As SyncBack V3 freeware is an old program, it will work on Windows 98 and 2000 (neither of which are supported by Microsoft). SyncBackFree cannot be used on Windows 98 or 2000. Also, SyncBackFree cannot be used on server versions of Windows. If you are using a server version of Windows you must use SyncBackSE or SyncBackPro.

Interface: The old SyncBack V3 freeware had an interface that was designed in the days of Windows XP and never moved on from there. SyncBackFree shares the same user interface as the more modern SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro.

Logging: The old SyncBack V3 freeware logged everything in the HTML log files as they occurred during a profile run. This made the log files difficult to read as errors were mixed in with non-errors. SyncBackFree uses the same logging format as SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro which means you can easily find the errors and see what was copied and what was not.

Portable: The old SyncBack V3 freeware used the Windows registry which meant it was not portable, i.e. you couldn't put it on a USB key and use it on another computer. SyncBackFree is portable.

Compression: SyncBackFree uses a modern compression component so compression is faster.

FTP: SyncBackFree uses a modern FTP component so it works with a wider range of FTP servers.

Much more: SyncBackFree includes numerous other new features which you'll discover as you use the new version and read the help file.

On 28 January our payment processor eSellerate experienced serious network problems which resulted in intermittent store access for several hours.

This was the first occasion in over five years that our web store suffered down time. eSellerate worked hard on the problem and resolved the issue as quickly as possible.

Card payments on our web store are fully operational, however PayPal payments were temporarily suspended because of an integration issue caused by the network problems. eSellerate worked with PayPal and this problem was rectified by 30 January.

More e-books are set to follow in the near future.


July 2005: OnClick Freeware Launched

OnClick Software 2BrightSparks Pte Ltd have released three new freeware programs available exclusively from our website. The 'OnClick' family of software products are easy to use utility programs: quickly encrypt and decrypt files, securely delete files, and find out the hash values of files. All OnClick programs ship with their own helpfiles and are availble on our Downloads page.

EncryptOnClick is a program that lets you securely encrypt and decrypt files. The program is very simple to use and features military grade 256-bit AES encryption.

DeleteOnClick is a very simple program that lets you securely delete files. A securely deleted file cannot be recovered or undeleted.

HashOnClick is a program to calculate the CRC-32, MD5, or SHA-1 hash value for a file. It is implemented as a shell extension, i.e. right-click on a file, in Windows Explorer, to calculate the hash value for a file. It's that simple!

We hope you find the programs a valuable addition to your toolbox.
