Recover All Essential Files
How often have you had a user accidentally
delete a file that couldn’t be recovered?
Windows’ Recycle Bin and backup
systems can’t protect files such as those
deleted from network shares or from
the command line or that are too large
to fit into the Recycle Bin. Traditional
file recovery products can recover only
deleted files that are in free space and
haven’t been overwritten.
Diskeeper’s Undelete 2009 retains all deleted files regardless of how they were deleted. The product sends all deleted files to a separate recovery bin and keeps them for the specified length of time. “The principal functionality of Undelete is to recover a deleted file. It’s essentially a program that captures deleted files and changes them to a move request,” said Michael Materie, director of product management for Diskeeper. “Undelete allows you to do things like capture iterations of a Word file or things that become deleted across a network. On a file server, the recycle bin doesn’t actually capture the file—it’s gone.”
A variety of options streamline file removal and recovery. For instance, Undelete can make only certain file types recoverable—or only files from certain folders or computers. Materie said, “The core of the product is capturing and protecting the files. There’s a variety of features that allow you to fine-tune that. Undelete allows you to tailor it to the type of files you want, based on file type, location, etc.”
Prices for Undelete range from $29.95 for Desktop Client Edition to $499.95 for Server Edition. For more information, contact Diskeeper at 818- 771-1600 or visit www.diskeeper.com.
