Recovery Genius Software: How does it compare with Drive Vaccine?
Many users of Recovery Genius have switched to the more technologically advanced restoration utility Drive Vaccine for various reasons. In Fact, a majority of large school districts across North America depend on the PC restore on reboot functionality that Drive Vaccine delivers.
How does Drive Vaccine Compare to the Recovery Genius Software
Recovery Genius works deep within the hard drive and OS drivers and freezes the PC's settings. Technically speaking, its technology is based on a hard disk sector filtering technique. Recovery Genius reserves a portion of the hard disk space for redirecting the disk I/O commands. It allows users to keep the information in the protected space during restarts. It takes significantly less amount of space than the conventional imaging approach. Therefore, the time to restore is much less than Ghost or Rapid Restore. Recovery Genius is mainly valued as an restore-on-restart solution for the publicly shared PC markets.

Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus integrates Reboot-and-Restore, a simple technology designed to keep computers fully functional and optimally configured. However, Drive Vaccine uses sector mapping technology to acheive its restore on reboot funtionality. This results in a more robust, faster, and more efficient computing experience. In addition to restoring on reboot, Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus can Restore on User Log-Off and can also maintain a safe "Freeze" space for file and data storage. RecoveryGenius uses a buffering technique that requires protection to be disabled whenever system updates are needed. With Drive Vaccine, Systems can be updated without complicated scripting etc. - The protection is always on; and users can easily backout of failed software/OS updates.
Simple to use: Just Reboot or Log-off and Restore
Since the protection is invisible; users feel as though they have absolute control of the system. Regardless of what they may attempt to do, including erasing files, installing software or even modifying registry settings, the computers will restore to their configured baseline settings everytime they are restarted or when a user logs-off. Making the workstations perfectly configured and available for the next user.

Benefits of Drive Vaccine's Reboot-and-Restore Solution
Eliminate Public Access Computer Downtime - One of the most troublesome and recurring tasks for an IT technician is to restore a PC back to a pristine working condition... Prior to the concept of Reboot-and-Restore, many administrators of public access workstations were faced with the daunting task of formatting hard drives and reinstalling the OS, everytime a system became inoperable... However, this proved to be a time-consuming and costly routine for fixing "micro-disasters". This becomes a concern for both the PC technicians as well as for the users, as they are forced into a non-productive state while the computers are being brought back to life.
Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus eliminates computer downtime by maintaining a consistent system image everytime your PC is restarted or a user logs-off. Thus any errors, mistakes or unauthorized software installations are instantly eliminated by simply restarting the computer. This enables your technical staff to focus on more advanced technical issues rather than the daily user level mishaps.
Maintain your public access computers to be fully functional with the same desktop settings everyday...

Viruses and spy ware are the most common threats, and new infections slip through the first lines of defense almost daily. In addition, users can also cause unknowing damage by tampering with configuration settings, by installing botched software - damaging the original configuration to a point of no return.
Set Acceptable User Policies
Put in force AUP's by guaranteeing that only approved applications are installed. When protected, Drive Vaccine will not allow configuration changes or installation of any applications to remain on the workstations. This, in effect, blocks the installation of most illegal or unauthorized software.

Drive Vaccine ensures workstation performance is at optimal levels by removing website cookies, spyware, temp files viruses and unnecessary plug-ins; which cause system bottlenecks. Any infections to a "immunized" system are instantly eradicated - workstations are reverted back to their original configuration on every restart or user log-off. Because Drive Vaccine does not restrict access and is transparent to users - Users feel as though they have complete control of the machine; enhancing the end user's computing experience.

Administrators, can create an immune folder space in order to save files for permanent storage (Plus Edition). This enables computer users to save files and folders for permanent storage, keeping them exempt from the restoration process.

A integrated virtual-drive (immune space) has also been implemented in our latest release of Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus edition.
