Handy Backup Home Professional 7.0.14

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Handy Backup Home Professional v. 7.0.14Handy Backup Home Professional is one of the market`s most powerful software solutions for disk imaging, folder sync, and file backup of individual PCs. The utility is oriented toward managing the copy-and-restore data protection of literally computer everything: from individual files to disk partitions, operating system, and even the entire hard drive. The app`s core backup functionality is originally designed for Windows 7/Vista/2003/XP and 2008/2003 Server. Also, the disaster recovery functionality of creating bootable drives after major system crashes is available for Linux. The utility is commonly recognized for delivering smart backup options: operation as a Windows service (low memory consumption + no need to be logged into a Windows account for backup to proceed), open file backup, backing up of large data, support of long paths, Unicode-enabled backup, compression, encryption, and others. The efficiency of those options is based upon the today`s leading technologies, like Linux Knoppix, rsync, FUSE, Volume shadow Copy, and many others. One of the key advantages of the product is powerful database backup. The app reliably manages the copying and recovery of MS SQL, Microsoft Exchange, Oracle, Lotus Notes, DB2, and other ODBC compatible databases. Another strong point of the software is the support of multiple data storage format: backup to local and external hard drives, backing up to DVD and other optical disks, backup to FTP and SFTP, storage to a secure Handy Backup cloud, copying to Amazon S3 servers, and even more. The new version brings improved disaster recovery protected against internet connection failure during while downloading important components, enhanced email notification system (now for SSL secure connection too), and refined interface

XXCLONE 2.00.3

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

XXCLONE v. 2.00.3XXCLONE duplicates the whole Win XP, Vista or Win7 system volume to
another volume that will become ready to boot without a restore step.
You may boot the system from the clone volume by simply swapping the
disks when a disaster strikes.

The cloned volume may be larger than the source volume, or even
smaller as long as the volume data can fit. You may copy from
FAT to NTFS or vice versa. It supports USB-disk, PATA and SATA.
Ideal for periodic backup, or a one-time disk upgrade, or migration.

Unlike the disk imaging tools, XXCLONE copies files and folders.
Therefore, you stay in Windows and may do some work while the cloning
runs in the background. With a full volume backup, files in the
target volume will always de-fragmented automatically without
the need for the time-consuming de-frag on the source.

It maintains Restore Points with most recent 7 daily, 4 weekly,
12 monthly and 5 yearly records with which you can restore the
exact state of the system registry.

Additional features include tools to duplicate the Volume ID,
to repair non-bootable disk, and more. It supports command line
arguments and suits batch file invocations, also.

Extremely easy to use with user-friendly GUI.

Data Destroyer 13.09

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Data Destroyer v. 13.09When Windows `deletes` a file it does not actually destroy the contents of the file but rather simply unlinks the file from the file directory system, leaving the contents of the file in the disk sectors. This data will remain there until the operating system uses those sectors when writing new data. Until the old data is overwritten (which take months or longer) it can be recovered by programs that read disk sectors directly, such as forensic software (so called because it is used to obtain evidence in criminal investigations and also in legal discovery).

In order to be sure that a deleted file really is deleted, gone for good, its contents never to be seen again, it is necessary to overwrite the data sectors of that file. Data Destroyer purges data in files, where `purge` means to destroy, to eliminate completely by overwriting, so that the data cannot be recovered by any means. Data Destroyer allows you to destroy the contents of a file by overwriting it several times (or many times) with random bytes, and with bytes with alternating bit patterns, before the file is deleted.

Data Destroyer can purge: a single file, all files in a folder, all files in a folder and all files in its subfolders, a specified subset of files in a folder and (optionally) in its subfolders, all files whose file dates are before a specified date, all files in selected subfolders (or in selected subfolders of a folder).

This software checks for possible errors in user input, and is designed to minimize the chance of accidentally purging a file that you wish to keep. Another feature of Data Destroyer is that you can get an estimate of the time required to perform a purge operation.
