PLEASANTON, CA — May 31, 2006 — Avanquest Software, a leading
developer and publisher of business and consumer software for the global PC market
with operations in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, today introduced its newest version
of VCOM's system recovery solution for Windows. Recovery Commander 3 rescues
Windows PC users from inoperable or non-booting systems and can typically restore
the system to working order in less than five minutes, while preserving valuable
user data and applications.
The latest version of VCOM Recovery Commander 3 offers enhanced tracking and
recovery features that dramatically improve the ability to save and restore a
damaged system and/or files from the worst stages of disrepair. Recovery
Commander 3 tracks a broad range of system components involved in the system boot
process. This way, users can avoid the hassle of restoring a lengthy backup
archive or performing a time-consuming system reformat and reload of the
operating system and applications that may risk the loss of vital data.
The tool's comprehensive tracking mechanism improves the chances of successful
recovery when viruses or program/update installations result in changes to
important start-up components that disable a system's ability to boot. The
program also safeguards a series of system configuration files including the
Registry. Additionally, Recovery Commander 3 automatically detects any new program
installation and creates a pre-installation checkpoint for use in restoration, in
the event that the installer program creates a conflict on the system.
Recovery Commander 3 can automatically or manually create checkpoints of key system
files, registry and boot record for all installations. Other unique checkpoint
features of Recovery Commander 3 include:
-
RC3 checkpoints contain user passwords, system activation information, Windows boot
files, boot sectors and the entire partition table including key internal system data
-
RC3 does not use any CPU/memory resources in standby, unlike the performance-robbing,
more limited System Restore in Windows
-
RC3 protects all checkpoints from any corruption and/or virus infection
-
RC3 checkpoints can be easily restored from RC3's bootable CD or under Windows
-
RC3 detects new application installations and prompts the user to create a checkpoint
-
RC3 enables users to customize checkpoints to include additional files and view
Checkpoint differences before restoration
Recovery Commander 3 also includes the ability to view folders and files outside of
Windows, where users can rename, delete and even edit text files. As a bonus, RC3
includes a number of graphical partitioning tools such as create, delete and format
partitions.
Recovery Commander 3 supports Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP and 2003. RC3 is fully compatible
with all partitioning software and OS management software, including VCOM's Partition
Commander and System Commander products. Recovery Commander 3 has a suggested retail
price of $39.95 and is available online at http://www.v-com.com.
