RepairDisk Manager is a tool to help maintain up to date copies of repair disk files for all your Windows NT and Windows 2000 computers. RepairDisk Manager allows you to schedule when and how often repair disk files are updated.

RepairDisk Manager is also able to create boot disks for your Windows NT system to assist in the system recovery process.

How RepairDisk Manager Works

RepairDisk Manager consists of three main pieces:

· RDM Console - the RDM Console is the main application which governs when, where and how often emergency repair files are created and backed up for all computers in your network. This is the visible user interface.

· RDM Agent - the RDM Agent is deployed to each computer and creates and locally stores the emergency repair files. The Agent performs all client side operations.

· RDM Scheduler - the RDM Scheduler records user account information to allow the emergency repair file generation process to be safely scheduled in accordance with the NT security model.

Once you have established when and how often the repair disk process should be executed using the RDM Console, the RDM Scheduler stores the information and deploys the RDM Agent to the designated computers at the required time. The RDM Agent performs all client side operations (i.e., creates emergency repair files on the target computer) and notifies the RDM Console. The RDM Console then retrieves and stores the emergency repair files.

Here are some key features of "RepairDisk Manager":

· Automating Repair Disk Management
Although Microsoft recommends the creation of emergency repair disks whenever a significant change is made to the hardware or software in a Windows NT/2000/2003 system, the disks rarely are made. This is typically because it is a manual process that is extremely time-consuming for an enterprise. It requires Microsoft's RDISK (for Windows NT) or Backup (for Windows 2000/2003) utilities to be run on each computer, and a separate disk used and maintained for each computer. This is prohibitively time and resource intensive for even a small business.

RepairDisk Manager automates the process of creating emergency repair disks. RepairDisk Manager provides an easy-to-use graphical interface that allows system administrators to quickly schedule repair disk runs throughout the enterprise – daily, weekly, or monthly – on a regular basis. This ensures the disks get created, significantly improving your systems' integrity.

· Fast Recovery
When there is a system failure on your Windows NT/2000/2003 machines, RepairDisk Manager provides almost instantaneous recovery and restoration of repair disk information. Because the information is stored online in a central location, accessing the information is fast and easy. No more searching for the physical repair disk, if one was even created. No more spending several hours restoring a system. Now, a simple user interface guides you through the process of recovering from a potential disaster and recovering registry hives. With RepairDisk Manager, you're time won't be wasted on this mundane task, and you'll have time for more important duties.
