Traditionally - if a critical OS or application file becomes corrupted, or Windows will not boot, the user is left to recover the system using traditional recovery methods. This ranges from implementing a pre-determined recovery procedure from whatever backup strategy exists, to a complete reload of the OS and all of the current updates, applications, settings, data, and etc. The time required to recover the system would vary, depending on the traditional method used - ranging from 4-hours to a day...
With FirstDefense Server Rescue, system recovery is immediate. When installed, FD-ISR Server Rescue creates a “RESCUE” area; a fully functioning, 100% copy of your existing system volume. Then, if you run into any botched software installation or any problems, you can simply select the RESCUE area and reboot the computer – you are back to a fully functioning system. The rescue area can also be updated as often as you would like.
What happens if you get the infamous BSoD (Blue screen of Death) and cannot select the RESCUE area from within Windows?
FirstDefense-ISR Server Rescue provides a method of immediate recovery with no rebuild time. Even if Windows can not boot up, or if an application fails, complete recovery begins with a simple reboot. During the boot, press the F1 key before the Windows boot process. You will see the pre-OS screen from FD-ISR Rescue. From the subconsole, select “Boot to the RESCUE Area”. Your PC will then revert back in the clean RESCUE snapshot.
Advanced users can also use the RESCUE area as a "sandbox" in which to test applications or other system changes. Simply boot to the RESCUE area and try the change. When done testing, boot back to the ORIGINAL area and refresh, with the Copy/Update command, to remove the changes made to the RESCUE area.
Once you are in the RESCUE area, you can continue to work. At the same time, you can copy the RESCUE area back to the ORIGINAL area. This will clean out any viruses, root kits,
spyware, phish-ware, key loggers, etc. that caused you to abandon the ORIGINAL area. When finished, you can return to the ORIGINAL area.
FirstDefense-ISR Rescue offers virtually uninterrupted system access and enhances productivity, as it significantly reduces the time to recover a failed system. This enables you to quickly repair server crashes, rather than spend time on rebuilding.
Anchor folders such as My Documents so that the files remain persistent even when recovering to a rescue area.
