RecoverAssist — Beta release
Since last year, we've been working on a very important project: RecoverAssist.
- Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) to dissimilar hardware with different boot devices without a dreaded Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)
- Recover from iSCSI and VHD backup devices not supported by the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
- Your very own RecoverAssist bootable recovery environment, with your own device drivers and network configuration, for Windows Server 2008 & Server 2008 R2, SBS 2008/2011 and Windows 7/Vista
- RecoverAssist's bootable environment on CD/DVD/BD, USB Flash, SD Card, ISO or Hard Drive media can be used as a replacement for WinRE
- RecoverAssist overcomes a multitude of BSOD issues, plus other limitations and bugs in WinRE
- Due for release in first quarter 2012
Back in our July 2011 newsletter we gave you the "inside scoop".
Now we'd like you to try the RecoverAssist Beta release for yourself!
