PRODUCT OVERVIEW
NOTE: RestoreIT Server is no longer available for sale, has been replaced by
DriveClone Server.
Designed for small and medium businesses (SMBs), branch offices of distributed enterprises, and government and academic institutions, RestoreIT Server Edition protects your server system against any software-related disaster and will run even when Windows® does not boot.
Client computers go through the server when they communicate with other networked PCs. Server crashes result in lost data, lost network connectivity, and reduced production, costing businesses billions of dollars every year.
Since current backup tools and techniques are not 100% reliable, redundancy is a key strategy for protecting your network from the worst consequences of server crashes. RestoreIT Server Edition is a cost-effective way of making sure that you’ll be able to get back online quickly and painlessly.

How RestoreIT Works
During installation, RestoreIT Server creates a hidden partition where it saves a complete base image of your system, and then begins monitoring incremental changes to that base image.
Incremental backup offers speed and efficiency: since it records only the changes to your hard drive, it can record frequent system snapshots without harming system performance. Since backup points are only increments, or changes to a static image, they require far less disk space than multiple complete images.
Should something go wrong with your system, you can restore it to a named incremental backup point. RestoreIT will do a series of the calculations to combine the incremental (partial) backup point with the base system image. The result is complete system restoration ?files that existed on your system when the incremental backup point was recorded will be back on your system, and any malware or system errors introduced since that point will be gone.
RestoreIT resides between the system BIOS of a PC and its operating system. Since it loads before Windows, doesnt need a functional OS for it to recover a system partition or an entire hard drive.
