Berlin, October 16, 2006 - All it takes is one slip of the finger and important files are gone forever. A virus attack, a mistaken reformatting or physical drive damage can also lead to the loss of important invoices, contracts, presentations, spreadsheets or databases. Unfortunately, simply accessing a backup copy is not always an option. Just when all hope appears to be lost, consulting the three data recovery solutions in the O&O RescueBox V4 could be a desperate user's only hope.

The O&O RescueBox V4 Admin Edition can assist in recovering lost or deleted files in three different ways. Used in combination, this suite of tools provides cover in almost every possible data loss scenario. In the corporate setting, this sort of functionality is worth more than its weight in gold – Imagine the feeling of seeing that mistakenly deleted database of customer information suddenly reappear fully-functional in the file manager after everyone thought it was lost forever.

O&O RescueBox V4 Admin Edition Contents
The O&O RescueBox V4 Admin Edition contains three pieces of data recovery software: O&O DiskRecovery V4 Admin, O&O FormatRecovery V4 Admin and O&O UnErase V4 Admin. All three utilities guide users step-by-step through the data recovery process, resulting in the (hopefully) successful presentation of the once deleted files. The software is shipped on two CDs. The first CD contains Windowscompatible versions of the programs ready for installation on a user's computer. The second CD is a bootable volume that can be started from the CD-ROM drive without the need for a functioning operating system to be present on the computer.

O&O UnErase V4 Admin Edition: This software allows for the quick restoration of deleted files. This tool looks for all deleted files on a hard disk that can be restored. Restoration takes just few seconds.

O&O FormatRecovery V4 Admin Edition: With the help of an on-screen wizard, this program assists in recovering formatted or deleted partitions. In doing so, the tool is able to take into account file and directory information. In addition, this software allows for the recovery of heavily fragmented data, even when the directory or a file system's structural information are missing.

O&O DiskRecovery V4 Admin Edition: If the other two recovery programs are not successful, this tool is the last hope. Combing each sector of a hard disk or memory card (such as one from a digital camera or PDA), this software is able to find data even when a volume has been reformatted or its file system destroyed. Over 350 file formats can be recognized and restored by this software.

External Hard Drive Bundle Now Available
Backing up one's data is the golden rule when working on computers. Those who regularly create backups of their precious data will never find themselves in the position of needing the tools contained in the O&O RescueBox V4. As an added tip, it is sensible to backup data on another physical volume to prevent the loss of data in case of a hardware failure. Frank Alperstaedt of O&O Software: "Ideally you would have a back up of your data stored on an external hard disk that you keep physically separated from the computer. This way you can insure that data are protected, even from thieves or vandals."

Prevention is better than recovery. With this as its mantra, O&O Software is offering until November 30, 2006 a promotional bundle that includes the O&O RescueBox V4 Admin Edition and a free 250 Gigabyte external hard drive for the special price of 349.00 USD. The Admin Edition may be used on any number of computers in a single enterprise.
