About Recovery Manager 3.0

Recovery Manager operates through scheduled system snapshots, called Recovery Points(TM), deployed from a central console to any protected Windows-based systems throughout the enterprise. When problems occur, Recovery Manager 3.0 can quickly rollback multiple systems in parallel to a prior healthy state taken during a previous Recovery Point, or to a standard baseline configuration.

Rollbacks can be performed surgically at the file system level, targeting any administrator-selected combination of operating system files, program files, user registry settings, user data, or any other unique file sets deemed valuable to a specific IT infrastructure. By rolling back only adversely affected files, the most recently stored user data and system settings are preserved, ensuring the integrity of critical data.

Recovery Manager 3.0 provides the ability to compare Recovery Points taken at different times so that administrators can analyze and selectively undo harmful changes. Contrasting and documenting file and registry changes helps administrators identify the root causes of undesired behavior to prevent recurrences.

Proprietary SmartBind(TM) technology links Active Directory Organizational Units to Recovery Point schedules so that newly added computers are automatically protected, without manual administrator involvement. Other manageability features include the ability for remote users to locally generate and store Recovery Points, even when systems are disconnected from the network.
