1-1 Introduction to RestoreIT
RestoreIT is an innovative real-time system restoration utility. Once installed, RestoreIT continually
monitors and keeps a complete record of all activities on the hard drive. RestoreIT lets you recover
lost data after a system crash, virus attack, faulty software installation, accidental file deletion or
unintentional formatting of the hard drive. In merely a few minutes, if not seconds, all of the
contents of your hard drive can be restored back to a point in time when your computer was
functioning properly. RestoreIT is different from general-purpose backup software. RestoreIT uses a
unique real-time incremental backup technology, taking up only 5 to 10 percent of the hard drive
space. RestoreIT can be set to automatically back up your computer hourly, daily, or at each system
startup.
