www.LandlordBG.com presents Secure File Deletion. Paranoia dictates that sometimes when we want a file deleted, we want it to stay deleted so that no one can remove our hard disks and find any magnetic remnents of files we have created and later deleted. Our government insists that three rewrites of the file are sufficient to destroy the image. SecureDelete assumes the government standard is false and that it takes more to accomplish a total erasure of the file. SecureDelete rewrites the file 100 times, saves it to disk each time, and finally deletes it. If this file can be accessed it should contain only chr(126) as readable characters.

- Undelete Server
- License: Demo

Its 3:00 pm and a user calls the Help Desk in a panic. "I have a meeting in Cleveland tomorrow, and I've just deleted the presentation I need!" What do you do? The Windows Server recycle bin doesn't protect files deleted by network clients. Traditionally, the only way to recover a file has been from backup, a time-consuming chore that can only restore the file as (and if) it existed at the time of backupâif it works at all. The last Shadow Copy snapshot was taken at 9:00 am and the file had not even been created yet, so no luck there either. Undelete 2009 Server Edition provides real-time data protection that allows files to be recovered instantly in the same state they were at the exact time they were deleted.
