Recovery Commander 3

Recovery Commander™ 3 can restore your non-booting system back to normal. It only takes a few minutes to get your system back up and running. Recovery Commander provides enhanced tracking and recovery features for unparalleled protection and can usually avoid the need to reload or re-image your system.

Recovery Commander 3 is packed with new and improved features to ensure a fast and reliable recovery. The new Recovery CD is now an all-graphics design to make it even easier to fix and restore your system to perfect health. Below are just some of the exciting new features and improvements we've made.

Brings non-booting Windows XP, 2000, 2003, Me & 98 systems back to life

Recovery Commander provides Windows PC users with an effective, uncomplicated system tool that can rescue them from the worst stages of disrepair. When a system has encountered a serious problem that has rendered it non-booting, Recovery Commander can typically restore the system to working order in less than 5 minutes, without data or application loss. Alternatively, without Recovery Commander you are often forced to restore a lengthy backup archive, or to perform a time-consuming system reformat and reload of the operating system and applications, risking the loss of vital data.

Broad system protection with enhanced tracking and protection

Recovery Commander provides superior system protection through comprehensive tracking of a broad range of system components. It safeguards a series of system configuration files including the Registry, and Recovery Commander also tracks components involved in the system boot process. This enhanced tracking mechanism improves the chances of successful recovery when viruses or program/update installations make changes to important start-up components that disable a system's ability to boot. Additionally, Recovery Commander automatically detects any new program installation and creates a pre-installation checkpoint for use in restoration, in the event that the installer program creates a conflict on the system.
Recovery Commander's design does not change partition types and is fully compatible with all partitioning software and OS management software. This includes VCOM's popular Partition Commander and System Commander products.

Simple console control

Recovery Commander can automatically or manually create checkpoints of your key system files, registry and boot record. The RC Console lets you view, create and delete checkpoints, change various settings and options, and set an optional schedule of making checkpoints. You can even restore checkpoints from within Windows.
