  Undelete® 2009, Diskeeper Corporation's data protection and recovery software, now includes Version Protection for Microsoft® Offices Files. This ensures all versions of any file accidentally deleted during the vulnerable period in between scheduled backups are not lost forever.

IT professionals face the great challenge of protecting business critical data. Most enterprises employ backup systems, but the conventional method will only save the version of a file that existed at the time of the backup. This leaves a hole, several defenseless hours in which all new files created or any work done on an existing file are susceptible to being overwritten or permanently lost.

Diskeeper Corporation addresses this black hole in data protection with innovative new technology found in Undelete 2009. It essentially replaces the recycle bin with a powerful "Recovery Bin," that captures all data, even those files commonly missed by the basic Windows® recycle bin, including files overwritten or deleted over a network. In addition, Undelete’s real time protection surpasses the occasional data protection provided by Windows Volume Shadow Copies, removing all gaps from the data protection strategy to ensure data is never lost. By protecting all files and providing means for instant recovery Undelete 2009 creates an indestructible data defense.

"Before we purchased Undelete, a customer would need a file restore in order to get back what they had deleted. This involved bringing the tapes from off-site, loading and cataloging, and finally restoring the data. A rather cumbersome (albeit normal) process for any Administrator," recalls Terry Garbo, Network Manager at EDS MHP European Operations in Ramstein, Germany. "With Undelete, I can literally recover/restore a user’s deleted file(s) within one minute of the call. The customer is happy, I am happy (as I don't have to go through the steps listed above) and my time is able to be spent maintaining the network. Honestly, I don't know how we were able to work without Undelete."

"I accidentally deleted digital pictures of my daughter's first day of kindergarten-pictures at the bus stop with the family, mother crying, first steps getting on the bus, all gone. Thank you very much for saving this once in a lifetime experience."—Bob Morris

Undelete 2009 replaces the recycle bin with a powerful "Recovery Bin" that captures digital photos and all data, including those files commonly missed by the basic Windows recycle bin. It even recovers earlier "saved over" versions of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Just right-click the file and select View Versions to restore the file you want. You can also preview the files before recovery to help find the right one. It's far easier than going to back up and faster too! All of your data is protected in real time with Undelete 2009.

"I retrieved 485 deleted files using Undelete. I had spoken with technicians: IT Techs, friends and a hard drive repair service, all stating 'You cannot retrieve deleted files that were deleted through a network.' Well, in short, Thanks! Undelete was the best bang for the buck I have ever spent."—Frank Cilano

System Administrators recognize the potential danger of data loss and data threat. After conducting risk evaluation, identifying the cost of continuing without the data, recreating the data or notifying customers of a compromise, the costs associated with lost data can easily be in the thousands of dollars. The need for the most advanced and reliable protection is of the highest importance.

"Undelete breathed some hope into a hopeless situation," CFO of Componentics Charles W. Billow. "We recovered some data that more than covered the cost of the product. The time it would take to recreate that data is immeasurable."

Bonus Feature:

Undelete 2009 not only protects the data you do want—but also the data you don't want to get into the wrong hands. Thanks to a feature called, SecureDelete 2.0, you can additionally permanently erase sensitive data you want to be gone forever (These are overwritten with sophisticated bit patterns governed by the National Security Agency/Department of Defense).
