RestoreITRestoreIT (pronounced “restore-it”) automatically backs up all files on your computer to a protected partition on your hard drive. In case of a virus attack, a Windows® crash, or a software installation gone wrong, RestoreIT will return your system to normal, even when Windows does not boot. And because it also backs up to CD, a network drive, or a USB device, RestoreIT will recover all data lost to hard drive failure as well. |

VirtualDriveVirtualDrive 11 converts CDs and unprotected DVDs into “virtual CDs” — MP3-like VCD files that run directly on your hard drive, replacing physical discs and saving wear and tear on your CD-ROM drive. VCDs can be shared over a network and have access rates up to 200 times faster than physical CDs, boosting the performance of PC games, photo CDs, and disc-based applications. Now with Windows® Vista support. VirtualDrive copies a CD or unprotected DVD as a compressed image, or “virtual CD,” which runs in place of the original disc in any one of up to 23 “virtual drives.” You can archive these virtual CDs in a searchable library, transport them on a laptop computer, and share them over a network. Virtual discs play directly on the hard drive, saving wear and tear on your CD-ROM drive and extending the battery life of laptop computers. They have access speeds nearly 200 times faster than their CD-ROM counterparts, greatly improving the performance of PC games, photo CDs, and disc-based applications. |

Virtual HardDriveYour hard drive is your computer’s workhorse. It’s also something of a dinosaur. Unlike the chip-based memory in your system, your hard drive still does things the OLD way: it uses a mechanical arm to record data to disk. Because the hard drive is the slowest part of a computer system, most users will see dramatic improvements in application speeds when they no longer rely on a mechanical disk for data storage and retrieval. Virtual Hard Drive takes a portion of your system memory (RAM) and creates a RAM disk, which functions like a hard drive with dramatically reduced read and write times. Applications perform up to 340 time faster, making Virtual Hard Drive the program of choice for anyone looking to reduce the load and response time of calculation-intensive applications. |

Virtual Drive NetworkVirtualDrive Network is a network-based CD/DVD emulation program for creating, archiving, monitoring, and controlling the use of "virtual CDs." Virtual CDs are compressed files converted from software, PC games, data and photo CDs, music CDs, and unencrypted DVDs. When you place a virtual CD on a network, any number of users can access it simultaneously while the original disc remains stored for safekeeping. Licensing agreements are handled from a central console: you “check out” a virtual CD and electronically “return” it. Files can be located quickly through electronic searches of the digital library or by browsing a list of titles in the software interface. Designed for educational institutions, government agencies, and businesses, VirtualDrive Network operates on Windows®-based TCP/IP networks and is easy to implement and manage. Wizards guide you through most tasks, and in most cases you can install and configure the software on an entire network in just a few hours. |

RestoreIT NetworkRestoreIT Network is a powerful, easy-to-use network-based data backup application that keeps ongoing “snapshots” of all systems on a Microsoft Workgroup. This allows administrators, librarians, and teachers to remotely reset one or all computers in an office or classroom to an original system setting at the end of a day. Unwanted downloads and installations are gone from computers, and deleted system and application files are recovered with the click of a button. RestoreIT Network can also be configured to reset all workgroup computers automatically at preset intervals. RestoreIT Network loads before Windows® on client machines, and will run even when Windows does not. Simply press the spacebar during the boot process to launch the software and restore a system to any backup point, even when the computer is not connected to a network! Designed for schools, businesses, and government agencies, RestoreIT Network operates on TCP/IP networks and offers a wide range of network backup, management, and monitoring tools like text messaging, remote shutdown and restart, remote diagnostics and data recovery, process inspection, remote logging, password protection, and even remote control of linked computers. |

RestoreIT ServerRestoreIT (pronounced “restore-it”) Server Edition automatically backs up all files on your server to a protected partition on the server hard drive, to a network share, or to an external device. Designed for small and medium businesses (SMBs), branch offices of distributed enterprises, and government and academic institutions, RestoreIT Server Edition protects your server system against any software-related disaster and will run even when Windows® does not boot. Client computers go through the server when they communicate with other networked PCs. Server crashes result in lost data, lost network connectivity, and reduced production, costing businesses billions of dollars every year. Since current backup tools and techniques are not 100% reliable, redundancy is a key strategy for protecting your network from the worst consequences of server crashes. RestoreIT Server Edition is a cost-effective way of making sure that you’ll be able to get back online quickly and painlessly. |
