It sounds impossible with conventional backup and recovery solutions which you are familiar with. With conventional backup and recovery solutions, you create backups every day, every hour or every 10 minutes…If there is a system crash, you restore the system from the last backup from yesterday or last week. Whatever is not in the last backup will not be restored. So there is a “time gap” between the moment of crash and your last backup. If your last backup was done in the morning and your system crashes in the afternoon, after restore from the backup, you won’t have the data files that you were working on in the afternoon. And no matter how frequently you perform backups, every 30 minutes or 10 minutes (is it realistic?), the “time gap” theoretically always exists.
MAGICURE can virtually eliminate this “time gap” by allowing you to restore data files from the moment of crash.Let me explain:
1. Let’s say your last MAGICURE snapshot (equivalent to backup) was taken on Monday.
2. You have been working on an important file - sales.doc - all week.
3. On Friday, you got a Window Blue Screen Of Death, the PC won’t even boot.
4. You know with MAGICURE, you can instantly rollback the PC to the snapshot taken on Monday, you will be up and running in no time. But the snapshot from Monday won’t contain the sales.doc. So the question is how can you get the system up and running and have the latest version of the sales.doc?
This is how you do it:
1. Restart the crashed PC. Press HOME key to access MAGICURE subsystem recovery console. (5 seconds)
2. Before you select Rollback System, choose Take Snapshot from the subsystem console. And take a snapshot of the crashed system – crashsys, this will preserve everything on the hard disk at the moment of crash. (5 seconds)
3. Then select Rollback system to roll back to the Monday’s snapshot. (20 seconds)
4. After you boot into Windows with Monday’s snapshot, launch MAGICURE program console, open the snapshot crashsys as virtual drives, search and find the sales.doc file, copy the file to the current system. (30 seconds)
5. As the result, you got the system up and running with the latest sales.doc file in a minute.
