Ontrack Data Recovery Introduces PowerControls Version 4.1

Ontrack Data Recovery has announced the availability of Ontrack PowerControls 4.1 software, the newest version of its widely used mailbox recovery tool. This upgraded version helps Microsoft Exchange administrators save time and deliver better recovery performance with powerful new content analysis functionality, message viewing capabilities, and expanded backup format support. With email searching on the rise, the new options in PowerControls broaden its function to allow administrators more robust email management possibilities.

PowerControls, which earned "Verified for Microsoft Windows XP" status through independent testing, is used by IT professionals to quickly and easily search, copy and restore message-level or individual mailbox items from any previous full backup, un-mounted databases (.edb) and Information Store files. Requiring no changes to the existing Exchange server or backup architecture, PowerControls slashes restore time, eliminates brick-level back-ups, minimizes the time it takes to locate all emails matching specific criteria using advanced searching capabilities, and eliminates the need for an Exchange recovery server. PowerControls 4.1 contains all of the features and benefits of the current product, plus additional new features including:

* Content Analysis
PowerControls allows administrators to create any number of customized Content Analysis Stores (CAS), facilitating content, time period, and in-depth investigative analysis of their Exchange data. Each CAS is a "container" that can contain one or more data sources and one or more Profiles. CAS data sources can be an entire EDB file, a single EDB mailbox, or a single EDB folder, with CAS Profiles containing unique search criteria such as keywords, users, dates, and Boolean operators.

* Arrange Messages by Conversation View
PowerControls now allows administrators to see a histogram of all replies and forwards of a given message. This is important for analyzing the conversation thread of a message.

* Arrange Messages by Message Table View
This feature allows the administrator to see all folders that reference a single message. This is helpful for analyzing the Single Instance Storage (SIS) feature of Exchange server.

* Arrange Messages by Attachment Table View
This allows the administrator to see all messages that reference a single attachment. This is also important for analyzing the Single Instance Storage (SIS) feature of Exchange server.

* Enhanced Support for Backup Formats
PowerControls 4.1 now offers enhanced support for the newest versions of Symantec BackupExec, Veritas NetBackup and Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve. Support also is available for Microsoft NT Backup, Legato NetWorker, IBM Tivoli, CommVault Galaxy, UltraBac Software and HP OpenView Storage Data Protector backup formats.
