R-Drive is a potent utility providing files crtion for backup or dupliion purposes. A file contains the exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive, partition or logical and can be crted with various compression levels on the fly without stopping OS and therefore without interrupting your business. These drive files can then be stored in a variety of places, including various removable media such as -R(W)/, Iomega Zip or Jazz s, etc. R-Drive restores the s on the original s, on any other partitions or even on a hard drive's free space on the fly. To restore system and other locked partitions R-Drive is switched to the pseudo-graphic mode directly from or bootable version crted by the utility is launched from disc or ettes. R-Drive is one of the best backup and disaster recovery solutions to prevent losing your data after a fatal system failure.
Using R-Drive , you can completely and rapidly restore your system after hvy data loss caused by an operating system crash, virus attack or hardware failure. You can also use R-Drive for mass system deployment when you need to setup many identical computers. In other words, you can manually setup one system only, crte an of the system, and then deploy it on all other computers, saving your time and costs. If you need to restore only certain files from a , you can connect that as a virtual and copy those files directly from the using Explorer or any other file utility.
R-Drive ftures:
* A simple wizard interface - no in-depth computer management skills are required.
* On-the-fly actions: files are crted on-the-fly, no need to stop and restart . All other writes are stored in a cache until the is crted. Data from files are restored on-the-fly as well, except on a system partition. Data to the system partition can be restored either by restarting R-Drive in its pseudo-graphic mode directly from , or by using specially crted startup s.
* files compression. files can be compressed to save free storage space.
* Removable media support. files can be stored on removable media.
* Network support. R-Drive bootable version supports file crtion and restoration over network (CIFS protocol).
* Pseudo-graphic mode. Restart to the pseudo-graphic mode directly from to restore data to the system and other locked partitions. No need to use startup s any more.
* Extended List of the supported devices. The list of hardware supported by R-Drive bootable versions has been extended. VIEW THE LIST
* USB 2.0 devices support in the pseudo-graphic mode. With hard drives prices constantly going down, an external IDE-USB 2.0 HDD case with an appropriate hard drive is an idl (fast and reliable) solution for notebooks and sled PCs to backup system and other partitions that can be restored only in the pseudo-graphic mode. Do not use numerous unreliable discs and slow / recorders any more. Remember: with the incremental backup, this hard drive is not to be too large.
* Bootable version. Special bootable s (either 2 floppy s or one ) can be crted to restore data to the system partition.
* Individual files and folders restoration. A can be connected as a rd-only virtual drive and its content can be viewed and copied.
* files splitting. Drive s can be split into several files to fit a storage medium.
* Protection. files can be -protected and contain comments.
* File system conversion. The file system of the restored can be converted to another one (FAT16 to FAT32 and vise versa.).
* New partition crtion. Data from a can be restored on a free (unpartitioned) space on any place on a hard drive. The size of the restored partition can be changed.
* Partition replacement. Data from a can be restored on other existing partitions. R-Drive deletes such partitions and restores data on that free space.
* to copy. An entire can be directly copied on another one.
* files verifiion. You may check if your files are good before you store them or restore data from them.
* Scheduler. A time for crtion may be scheduled and the process can be run in unattended mode.
* Script crtion for frequent or unattended actions. Such scripts for crting an file and appending data to an existing file are crted from the R-Drive interface the same way the actual action is performed. Scripts are executed from a command line and such command can be included to any command file.
* Action Report. When is successfully crted or the action fails the report can be automatically sent over e-mail or an external appliion can be launched.

New R-Drive ftures in version 4.x :
* Vista and 64 bit processors support. New R-Drive version supports all Vista operating systems and 64 bit processors.
* Acceleration of crtion and disc copy operations. Asynchronous I/O and distributed the zlib compression library were added among different processors. As a result, users can see up to 200% speed gains in crtion and disc copy operations.
* Differential crtion. When the incremental/differential backup is being crted, the differential can be crted by comparing the current data with the 128-bit hash of the original data without rding the main . That speeds up the process of crting the incremental/differential in any case, but also no need to change the original discs when writing the to / discs.
* Incremental crtion mode. In the previous versions the differential mode was available only.
* A bootable module can be written to a / disc together with the data. Thus it is possible to crte one / disc to boot and to restore the system.
* Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) support. In order to crte a point-in-time snapshot of a database, the servers like Exchange, SQL and are notified before backup process begins. The technology allows synchronizing the servers' database and crting the correct copies of quick-changble data.
* Dynamic s and BSD slices support. Dynamic s and BSD slices can be backup, restored and copied. The fture is supported in both and bootable versions of R-Drive . You may crte an of one or a volume of any type and then restore the back to a dynamic or basic . However when such is restored you may not change a size or other characteristics of the target . When you restore a dynamic to a basic , the basic remains basic and is not converted to the dynamic .
* A flexible control over / writing. That allows limiting the writing speed and cashing in the ISO file.
* Improved file format of the crted by the appliion.
* Writing to NTFS partitions. Now the R-Drive bootable version (based on the Linux kernel) supports writing to NTFS partitions as well as R-Drive version.
