Disk Write Copy: software that can make Windows last forever.

    It so happened that I work at CCS. A completely Russian company, which was born as a startup, having gathered in a strong team.

    I want to introduce habrozhitel with the software Disk Write Copy , which this company produces.

    This means that if you put all the disks on the computer under protection , the utility will require a reboot during which it will instantly create their shadow copies, and the original will remain protected and will not change in any way. In the process of working on a computer, everything that is done is presented as a change in information and it is these changes that will accumulate in the shadow disk. Such as downloading new movies, changing computer settings, registry. Downloaded viruses and trojans awaiting implementation. All this will be that changed information. So when the time comes and you turn off or restart the computer, then all the changed information will disappear without a trace , and you will again see your original disk.

    You can also not put all disks under protection or want to save the history files of Internet messengers or email clients. How to do this is described below in the "benefit of the program."

    The first line (1.x) of Disk Write Copy software products has been developed for more than a year and has already been completed. It is sold both in electronic format and in physical format - it stands on shelves in stores. Software products are based on shadow technology and provide instant rollback of all data on the protected disk for rebooting the system or when you turn off the computer.

    In RuNet, you can already find the keys to the Personal version, which fell from us in dishonest hands. However, I’m not going to scold anyone, because, in principle, living in Russia and any country with an economy that is still “far from” the level of Norway or Switzerland, I understand perfectly well that this is quite natural and, maybe, even a fair phenomenon.

    In total, at the moment, 4 editions of Disk Write Copy of the first line are available:
    - Personal SE (available only in Jewel packages)
    - Personal
    - Professional
    - Server

    One of the improvements of the new line 2.x will be that data can be rolled back without rebooting. Select individual folders that will remain unprotected and save changes .

    But so far about what is already available to everyone.

    The program interface looked like this:

    And over time it acquired new changes and functionality.

    In the new line, the interface will undergo a greater change than before.
    The lion's share of the changes, of course, was to increase the functionality of the program itself and its capabilities.

    What benefits does the program bring with it:



    One of the well-known articles on the capabilities of the product reveals the scope and side of its application, showing the effectiveness of the application in numbers. Specifically disclosed is how to make Windows "indestructible".

    A recent topic on a hub, where a user talks about how he protected flash drives at the university from viruses with autorun, reminds that not only flash drives, but also computers should be protected from the introduction of malicious codes into the network. Programs that use shadow disks, in my opinion, are great here, if system disk protection is installed on every computer on the network. Thus, if the class does not work around the clock, then simply turning off the power for computers - access terminals is enough, and all viruses left by student users evaporate at the same time. For students to work, it was important for us not to restrict their management rights, since the subjects taught in the class also provide administrative privileges for their training. And at the end of the working day, after the class is turned off, all their possible errors, reconfigurations and all other information also disappears, leaving all systems in their original form, with the installation set by us.

    I also occasionally work in a similar educational institution. Of course, at our university, we also use the ability to download and install Windows on machines via a network interface. That is, you can install Windows and run a silent installation of all the applications we need (batniks, more precisely cmd, we added the necessary ones), but this does not apply to instant recovery, since it does not take half a minute, 2, 5, or even 10. if it is necessary to install several computers on the network at once, then the information starts loading the network and is still slower.

    Where is everything going.


    We are constantly working on the project and release updated editions. There remains a bunch of unrealized ideas, in terms of a still large number of already thought out utilities and other software. We generally have big plans :)

    What supports:



    OS: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows VISTA, including 64-bit support.
    Server Edition: Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows LONGHORN, including support for 64-bit architecture, and also successfully optimized for Intel ITANIUM II 64 (ia64)

    Where to use:



    I will write more about usage in the next article.

    Reviewing a publication on the Russian-language portal Intel, it can be said that effective use is possible in a wide field:
    • On home computers
    • In offices on office computers
    • In computer clubs, Internet cafes and computer labs
    • At customer service terminals
    • On server systems

    By the way, in the comments, here or on our official forum, I will gratefully listen to your criticism, opinions and suggestions of any kind, especially if all this is balanced and reasoned. In this regard, I generally like Habr, because you can often find people who are enthusiastic, enthusiastic and thoughtful.
