Diskeeper 2009

Diskeeper is an automatic disk defragmenter that features scheduling and a high level of configuration ability, and can defragment even critical system files. Fragmentation occurs during normal Windows operation, as files are broken up in pieces and saved on different parts of the hard disk. This increases the amount of time it takes to access single files, and bogs down system performance.

Undelete 2009: Real-Time Protection. Real-Time Recovery.

Undelete 2009 immediately regains files that have been accidentally deleted or overwritten. While Windows® Volume Shadow Copies only offer occasional data protection, Undelete provides protection in real-time. Nothing gets missed. Ever. 

It works by replacing the recycle bin with a "Recovery Bin," making restoration of any file a quick and easy process. Like an advanced version of Novel Netware® software’s salvage tool, users can seamlessly recover their own files, all while properly prevented from recovering anyone else’s. IT personnel have less grudge-work and less guesswork, saving time and, most importantly, saving the company money.
