Undelete Server / Client Functionality

Its 3:00 pm and a user calls the Help Desk in a panic. "I have a meeting in Cleveland tomorrow, and I've just deleted the presentation I need!" What do you do?

The Windows Server recycle bin doesn't protect files deleted by network clients. Traditionally, the only way to recover a file has been from backup, a time-consuming chore that can only restore the file as (and if) it existed at the time of backup-if it works at all. The last Shadow Copy snapshot was taken at 9:00 am and the file had not even been created yet, so no luck there either.

Undelete 2009 Server Edition provides real-time data protection that allows files to be recovered instantly in the same state they were at the exact time they were deleted. It can even recover older, saved over versions of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files!

Combined with Undelete 2009 Server Edition is the Undelete Desktop Client. This specialized edition empowers users to recover their own deleted or saved over Microsoft Office files from server Recovery Bins without even having to call the Help Desk. Each Undelete Server Edition license now includes ten Desktop Client licenses. Additional licenses can be purchased separately at newly introduced volume discounts. (Client computers, such as laptops which regularly store data locally, with Undelete 2009 Professional Edition can also recover files from the server.)

File deletion accidents don't need to cost the company time and money. Why suffer through one more restore from backup? And, unlike Volume Shadow Copy (VSS), Undelete works in real-time, capturing every file version. Why tell your panicking users "Tough luck" after 30 minutes or dredging through tapes and volume snapshots? With Undelete 2009 Server Edition, your users restore their own deleted or saved over MS Office files with the Undelete Desktop Client or Pro Edition installed on their desktops. Undelete 2009 Server Edition gives your users real-time data protection with instant recovery. No file server should be without it!

New! InvisiTasking Technology
allows for all background operations within Undelete to run with zero overhead. These invisible background tasks include:

  • Automatic purging of the Recovery Bin when it fills up
  • Managing the 'Common' Recovery Bin (moving files from one volume to another)
  • Securely overwriting free spaces using the automatic Wipe Free Space feature (more info below)
  • Automatically adjusting the size of the enhanced Recovery Bin (more info below)

Version Recovery
Undelete automatically captures old versions of Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), allowing recovery of earlier, saved-over versions. Version Recovery is integrated with Windows Explorer-simply right-click on a file to recover earlier versions. New! Undelete now supports versioning for new file formats of Microsoft Office 2007 Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.

New! Enhanced Recovery Bin
The Recovery Bin catches all files no matter how they were deleted, allowing instant recovery with just a few clicks of the mouse. The Recovery Bin mimics the directory structure of your disk and includes a powerful search function, making it easy to find and recover files. Undelete 2009 adjusts the Recovery Bin to your volume's available space, automatically protecting more files when free space is available and less data when it is not.

Undelete Desktop Client
With the Undelete Desktop Client, users of computers attached to your servers can recover their own files directly from server Recovery Bins. The Desktop Client can be pushed out to client systems by Undelete Server. Each Undelete 2009 Server license now includes 10 licenses of the Undelete Desktop Client.

New! SecureDelete® 2.0
With SecureDelete 2.0 enabled, files that are purged from the recovery bin are overwritten with random data using a methodology developed for the National Security Agency. Version 2.0 of this popular feature introduces the ability to securely delete files immediately (as they are deleted) and overwrite a volume's free space*, which may contain past remnants of confidential data.

Powerful Search Functionality
The Recovery Bin displays information about each deleted file including the file owner, the date and time the file was deleted, and the account used to delete the file.

Network File Protection
With Undelete Desktop Client or Pro Edition installed on network clients, your users can connect to the Undelete Server Edition Recovery Bins installed on the network file servers and restore their own deleted or saved-over MS Office files. NTFS security is fully supported.

Enhanced Emergency Undelete
Undelete can recover files deleted before Undelete was installed, provided they haven't been overwritten. Undelete 2009 will save you time with support by also recreating the original folder paths, making reorganizing your restored files a snap.

Enhanced Browsing
Save time and recover the right file. Undelete supports previewing protected files in the Recovery Bin to find the exact one you want to restore.

New! Support for Windows Server 2008 and 64 bit operating systems

Full Command Line Support
Leverage Undelete's robust command line interface with Windows Server Core or your custom scripts to discover and recover your data.

New! No Reboot Needed
Enhanced 'filter driver' eliminates the need to reboot your Windows 2008 servers. Installing and using Undelete is now easier than ever.


* This feature not supported on Windows 2000 operating systems.


 

Customer Testimonials

"I use a program that erases application remnants. Upon removing the remnants the program removed quite a portion of Windows XP files. What a mess! Then I remembered Undelete. I went into the Undelete Recovery Bin and recovered every deleted file. Without Undelete I would have MAJOR problems! Undelete is of paramount importance for every computer."

"For me, Undelete is like insurance. If all goes well, I will not need to use it. However, it is very easy for an employee to accidentally delete a project file or folder and Undelete makes it very easy to recover without having to sift through backup tapes."
