This software has a very easy user interface, is seamless in operation, and flawless in its ability to mirror image a variety of Operating Systems. Recently, many corporations were subject to a malicious virus attack, which in my circumstances required a very quick defensive plan, including mobilizing a forensic data recovery lab. Although the attack left minor damage, SnapBack DatArrest, the forensic tool of choice, was responsible for the successful back-up and restoration of mission critical information." SnapBack DatArrest offers the fastest, easiest to operate suite of tools ever assembled for forensic data seizures or snapshot of any systems hard drives. SnapBack DatArrest works on virtually all IBM-compatible computers containing any OS. If you can boot a DOS floppy, you can quickly, accurately, and completely seize all the data. SnapBack DatArrest gets everything on the drive from beginning to end. The captured image contains all system software, networking software, associated drivers, software applications, configurations, and all the files, including deleted files, slack space, and data files as well as the CMOS settings for the system. SnapBack DatArrest provides multiple ways to seize data such as, copying server hard drives to tape, PC hard drives to tape, server or PC hard drives to removable media, hard drives to hard drives or tape to tape. The power, accuracy, and ease-of-use that DatArrest provides is the heart of the Disaster Recovery portion of SnapBack Live.
