WHERE IS THE ARCHIVE BUILT?

KatchAll is designed for small network environments. Enterprise archival software is server based. KatchAll supports peer-to-peer networking. Files that are changed on any KatchAll enabled computer in the network are archived on that computer.
You specify the location of a directory on your computer that will be the root of a tree that mimics your computer’s file system. The default location is C:\Archive, or it can be on an external device such as a USB drive, etc.

RECOVERY

When a file needs restoration on an Enterprise System the Information Technology (IT) Department is often called in to assist in the recovery of a file – and maybe they have a copy of the version you want. Often it can take them a few days to restore the file.

KatchAll is tightly integrated with the Windows Explorer. A few clicks in the Windows Explorer and a recovered file is created in its original directory with the date/timestamp inserted into the file name. The extension remains the same so you can use your standard application programs to view the recovered file. Recovery across the network is supported in the same manner as on an individual computer.

THE KATCHALL USER INTERFACE:

Simply find the file you are interested in the browser, right click the file and select Properties from the drop down menu, select the KatchAll Archive tab on the dialog, and finally select the version you want by it’s date and timestamp. Double click the selection and the file is restored to the directory with the time stamp embedded in the recovered version’s filename.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

*Katchall runs on XP or later Microsoft Operating Systems. Both Professional and Home versions are supported.
*Katchall is designed to work on peer-to-peer networks and standalone computers.
*The storage requirement for the archive is proportional to the number and size of the files in the archive. A copy of your previous version is maintained in the archive as well as highly compressed differences between other versions.
