Nearly every PC user has wished he could retrieve a deleted file at one time or another. And when it happens at the office, Help Desks are among the first to hear about the problem. Hence, the popularity of utilities such as Undelete from Diskeeper Corp. in Burbank, Calif.
According to Jeremy Buck, product specialist, the tool replaces a Window user's Recycle bin on the desktop with a Recovery bin. Based on policies IT or the user sets, Undelete keeps deleted files for as long as you want them to be held. When "deleted" files are sought, the utility lets users navigate to them via a Windows Explorer-like GUI, mitigating calls to the Help Desk.
By late July, Diskeeper intends to ship Undelete 2009. The upgrade, ironically, includes a new secure delete feature, which uses advanced disk erasing techniques to assure that files you actually do want removed get digitally destroyed. The update also lets you set Undelete 2009 to run only when system resources are either idle or under minimal loads.
Server pricing starts at $299.
