Recover Data
http://www.xosoft.com, 212-798-1490, 866-926-7962
XOsoft announced Data Rewinder and WANSync 3.5, a product suite that can recover corrupted files and databases. You can use the suite to recover data on servers of any type, including Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server. Data Rewinder continuously captures application or database-specific transactions and modifications and journals them for recovery purposes. When a corruption occurs, you can use Data Rewinder to instantaneously rewind corrupted data resources to their most recent consistent state. The software uses existing hardware infrastructure and requires no additional software licenses. You don't need to perform a system reboot or cause database interruptions to install the suite. WANSync synchronizes data on information servers to remote replicas and keeps the replicas fresh and available with continuous, real-time replication. For pricing, contact XOsoft.
SECURITY
Hide and Protect Stored Data

SoftCab released Stealth Storage, disk-encryption software that uses algorithms to protect data. When you install the software, Stealth Storage mounts a hidden disk that all software applications will recognize as an extra disk. You can store your most sensitive data on the hidden disk, which no one can access without a password. All requests to files stored on the hidden disk are encrypted and decrypted on the fly.
Stealth Storage lets you perform all regular operations such as copying, deleting, moving, and creating a backup. To further protect your data, Stealth Storage doesn't have a GUI or a special password window. Stealth Storage runs on Windows XP and Windows 2000 systems and costs $34.95 per copy.
