-
- The previous demo version of Data Rescue, released 10/13/92, was
- actually a sneak preview- though fully functional as documented.
- Minor changes in RESCUE.APP were required during the final stages
- of beta testing. Plus an inquiry about file moves turned up the
- fact there is no restriction regarding TOS version, so RESCUEfolder
- tracking is available for ALL TOSs.
-
- This new demo is for the RELEASED version of Data Rescue which began
- shipping 11/17/92.
-
- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
- Welcome to the DEMONSTRATION version of TraceTech's new package
- Data Rescue- the complete data recovery solution for the Atari ST/TT
- line of computers.
-
- DATARESC.PRG tracks file and folder deletions in realtime so you can
- undelete at any time. Two modes of delete tracking are available: DAT
- and RESCUEfolder.
-
- DAT tracking maintains a data file (DATARESC.DAT) that is used by
- RESCUE.APP to rescue deleted files _and_ folders.
-
- When a file delete occurs on a RESCUEfolder tracked drive, the file
- is moved to the RESCUE folder on that drive. When a 'Disk out of room'
- error is detected, the RESCUE folder is automatically purged of the
- size needed and the aborted operation is completed. On bootup,
- DATARESC.PRG maintains each RESCUE folder by two user configurable
- criteria- file age and/or total size.
- [Definitely not just another trashcan!]
-
-
- Some Data Rescue highlights:
-
- 1) Realtime tracking
- _ALL_ file and folder deletions are monitored so you can immediately
- rescue accidental deletions, or at any timespan afterwards assuming
- the associated data is still valid.
-
- 2) Fragmented data
- Rescuing fragmented data is a breeze requiring _NO_ user interaction!
-
- 3) Small DAT size
- The size of the DAT tracking file is constant and can be computed by
- taking the size of the drive in bytes and dividing by 512 for a hard
- disk or by 682 for a floppy disk.
- [ie a 5Meg partition would have a 10K DATARESC.DAT file]
-
- 4) View Data/Text
- When you preview a deleted Dietized file, the contents are uncompressed
- and shown- even without Data Diet installed.
-
- 5) RESCUEfolder
- You can set any temporary paths used by programs to a RESCUE folder
- so that the temp files are automatically maintained for you.
-
- 6) Partial data recovery
- If part of a deleted file is overwritten, you can still rescue the
- available data.
-
- 7) Rescue Data
- And not to forget this user convenience, the first character in a
- name is encoded so the user does not have to remember it or even
- enter it when rescuing a file/folder.
-
-
- As a DEMO, this version will _NOT_ delete track files in RESCUEfolder mode.
- Also, when choosing [Rescue Data] in RESCUE.APP, the rescue process for
- the file/folder only goes through the verification stage and does _NOT_
- write the necessary information to rescue the item.
-
- The DEMO is meant for you to test drive and evaluate Data Rescue, seeing
- its capabilities and features for your purchasing decision.
-
- Plus, you will have a headstart if you keep DATARESC.PRG installed
- in your system and decide to buy Data Rescue down the road, since
- the DAT tracking process is _FULLY_ functional. In this case, an
- insurance policy that you only pay for once you need it...

- If you have any questions, feel free to contact us through the various
- methods listed below.
