What is QuickStart Data Rescue?
QuickStart Data Rescue™ is a Fast, Easy and Reliable solution for modern PC
disaster recovery. It was designed to provide a method of system crash recovery
that does not require a knowledge of your PC's configuration to enable you to recover
your system to its operational state.
How Does QuickStart Data Rescue Work?
QuickStart Data Recue backs up the entire system environment by backing up
the entire disk being processed. It ensures that everything from the system
boot information to all drive partitions are protected. On a restore, you
don't need to worry about any of those items because QuickStart Data Rescue
tracks and recovers all of the necessary details for you. When the restore
operation completes, your system will be back in the exact state it was in
when you created the QuickStart Data Rescue Backup.
What platforms does QuickStart support?
QuickStart Data Rescue works with any Intel x86 or compatble PC system,
including Windows98 (95, 3.x), WindowsNT, NetWare, and OS/2 as well as most PC UNIX
platforms, including Linux, SCO Openserver and UnixWare, Interactive UNIX, BSD, and Solaris x86.
When Should I use QuickStart Data Rescue?
The most highly reported instances of system crash are related to stories
of "Installing a new application" or "Adding the XYZ hardware peripheral" and
then restarting your system. By performing a QuickStart Data Rescue backup
prior to performing the installation, you can install the new application
or hardware without worrying about the outcome. If things don't go as
planned, just recover the system using the QuickStart Data Rescue backup
and things are just like they were before you started the installation. It's
sort of like having a virtual "Time Machine" that allows you to fully UNDO
mistakes or bad installations.
How does QuickStart Data Rescue simplify my disaster recovery problems?
Since most systems under the Microsoft Windows 95, 98 and NT, Netware and UNIX
environments use file-by-file backup solutions as their primary system backup
method, disaster recovery is
problematic and time consuming. Most often it involves reinstalling the base
operating system, reinstalling the backup software, and then reconfiguring the
backup software's database before any actual data can be restored. This can
take hours, even days when problems are encountered. With QuickStart Data Rescue, the
user can boot from the QuickStart Data Rescue diskette, restore their
system, and begin recovering their most recent data as quickly as their
storage device is capable of reading the QuickStart Data Rescue backup - without
needing to reinstall the operating system.
I Already have a daily file-by-file backup plan in operation. Does QuickStart Data Rescue Replace this operation?
QuickStart Data Rescue was designed to work hand in hand with your existing file-based backup
routine. By using QuickStart Data Rescue as little as once a month, you can reduce the time required
to recover from a system crash from hours or even days to minutes. By restoring your latest
QuickStart Data Rescue backup first, your main system is ready to be brought back online in a much
shorter period of time. This means that you can then restore your daily incremental backups and be
back in full operation in the least amount of time possible.
What storage devices are supported?
Can QuickStart Data Rescue perform remote backup across a network?
Network operation is expected to be supported in the next major release.
Can you recover a QuickStart Data Rescue backup onto a larger hard drive?
Yes. QuickStart Data Rescue even lets you select what type of partition the additional
space will be configured as.
What if my disk is larger than the capacity of my tape drive?
QuickStart Data Rescue uses backup technology that EST has developed for our BRU product
over the last 15 years. As such, it supports media spanning, which fills the first tape
or cartridge and prompts for additional media until the system backup is complete.
What if I buy QuickStart Data Rescue and I don't find it useful?
While we don't expect that to happen, EST offers a full 60 day, Risk-Free, Money Back guarantee. If you decide, for any reason, that QuickStart Data Rescue is not what you need, we'll happily refund your purchase price. In addition, you may download our free 30 day demo to know for sure!

reliability large system backup utilities, EST has become intimately familiar
with the pitfalls of system backup and disaster recovery. QuickStart Data Rescue is designed
