Aelita Software Releases New Versions of 10-Minute Recovery Solutions for Enterprise Windows Systems and Active Directory
New features enhance the only online, granular recovery solution for Active Directory

Columbus, OH (October 8, 2002) — Aelita Software Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise management solutions for Windows-centric networks, today announced the newest releases of its ERDisk 10-minute recovery solutions: ERDisk™ 6.5 for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP and ERDisk™ 6.5 for Active Directory.

"Organizations need to ensure the availability of Active Directory services and data as part of their Windows 2000 and Windows .NET migration planning," said Ratmir Timashev, president and chief executive officer of Aelita Software. "ERDisk provides the flexibility and speed-of-recovery that are critical to achieving high system uptime and protecting business critical Active Directory services."

ERDisk for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP automates and enhances the process of creating and using emergency repair disks and System State backups. ERDisk for Active Directory provides backup and online, granular recovery of Active Directory.

"Some of the features that make Active Directory attractive to the enterprise also introduce new challenges in terms of data protection," said John Enck, vice president and research director at Gartner. "Enterprises need to understand the issues involved in protecting Active Directory and ensure they have appropriate systems in place to provide the data integrity and availability Active Directory-dependent applications like Microsoft Exchange 2000 require."

New in ERDisk for Active Directory:

Version 6.5 of ERDisk for Active Directory extends the solution's unique on-line granular recovery capabilities with attribute-level recovery. It has also been enhanced with features that enable Active Directory change analysis and troubleshooting and improved Group Policy Object (GPO) management.

ERDisk for Active Directory now provides "snapshot" comparisons of two versions of Active Directory, simplifying the challenge of isolating differences between two backup copies of Active Directory, or a backup copy and a live version. A new analysis and reporting engine also supports improved change tracking and troubleshooting.

Group Policy backup/restore is expanded through support for GPO replication across domains. This gives administrators the freedom to model GPO changes in a test lab and then safely copy them to the production environment. GPOs can also be replicated across live domains to ensure consistent GPO usage across the enterprise. ERDisk for Active Directory is the only solution that allows restoration of individual Group Policy Objects from normal System State backups.

New in ERDisk for Windows:

Version 6.5 of ERDisk for Windows provides greater control over the backup through an Intelligent Selective backup feature that enables collection of only those files that are not available from other sources, such as the system installation CD or Service Pack. This breakthrough feature speeds data collection and reduces the bandwidth and storage required by backups by 85 to 95 percent. During recovery, ERDisk automatically retrieves files from the original source as required.
