Instant recovery from a system crash, virus attack, and accidental data deletion.
1-1 Introduction to RestoreIT Network
RestoreIT Network 4.0 is a revolutionary real time system restoration utility that runs over a TCP/IP
network. Once installed, it continually
monitors and keeps a complete record of all activities on client
computers and allows an administrator or client to recover lost data after a system crash, virus
attack, faulty software installation, accidental file deletion or unintentional formatting of their hard
drive. In merely a few minutes, if not seconds, all of the content of a hard drive can be restored back
to a point in time when the computer was functioning properly. File-Level Backup and Restore
further allow users to restore individual files without rolling back their whole system.
RestoreIT Network allows network administrators to manage client computers’ backup strategies and
remotely backup their systems over a network. Network administrators can even control the server
computer (RITN Administrator) or any client computer over the network by using the included RestoreIT
Desktop Tool.
1-2 RestoreIT Network Component Introduction and Features
RestoreIT Network is based on a client-server model. One server (RITN Administrator) and several clients

RITN Administrator (referred as “RITN Administrator” thereafter) resides on the server computer of the
local area network (LAN). It allows the network administrator to manage all clients’ or group’s
backup/restore strategy in a user friendly interface. Once installed, a network administrator can
simultaneously deploy RITN Client on multiple client computers through the RITN Administrator interface.
