One of the worst things you could discover is someone has deleted files -- intentionally or accidentally -- off your iSeries. You then have to deal with the task of trying to get those files off your backup, which can take time and may not work. With Bytware Inc.'s StandGuard Recycle Bin, however, you can better protect and recover those files.

Designed specifically for the iSeries and i5, this Windows-style recycle bin protects files from unintended deletion by holding them in an area for administrator review. It's great protection against viruses that delete files, disgruntled employees who might want to destroy files, or the occasional accidental mouse click.

With StandGuard Recyle Bin you can recover files quickly and easily and eliminates the need to restore them from backup -- even if you're mirroring. In addition the product protects files created throughout the day for on-the-fly restoration, something traditional backups can't do.

"I love the idea that you can restore files from a Recycle Bin rather than having to restore them from your backup," one judge said. "But more important, it's a great way to ensure files' security."

Not only does StandGuard Recycle Bin protect files located in the IFS from permanent deletion, but it also protects files located on mapped drives. "If you rely on the IFS extensively, this is a must have product -- especially considering the cost," another judge said.

At a cost of $995 per copy, each judge gave StandGuard Recycle Bin high marks for its value.

When you take into consideration the products easy installation and ease of use, it's hard to find a reason not to run StandGuard Recycle Bin.
