MICROSOFT NETWORK SECURITY USES SNAPBACK DATARREST AS PRIMARY UTILITY IN FORENSIC TOOL CHEST
SnapBack DatArrest Acknowledged as Forensic "Tool of Choice"
SnapBack have announced the selection and use of SnapBack DatArrest by Microsoft Network Security as their primary forensic utility. David Swartzendruber, Senior Technologist for Microsoft Network Security stated, " SnapBack DatArrest is one of the primary utilities in my forensic tool chest. This software has a very easy user interface, is seamless in operation, and flawless in its ability to mirror image a variety of Operating Systems. Recently, many corporations were subject to a malicious virus attack, which in my circumstances required a very quick defensive plan, including mobilising a forensic data recovery lab. Although the attack left minor damage, SnapBack DatArrest, the forensic tool of choice, was responsible for the successful back-up and restoration of mission critical information."
SnapBack DatArrest offers the fastest, easiest to operate suite of tools ever assembled for forensic data seizures or snapshot of any systems hard drives. SnapBack DatArrest works on virtually all IBM-compatible computers containing any OS. If you can boot a DOS floppy, you can quickly, accurately, and completely seize all the data. SnapBack DatArrest gets everything on the drive from beginning to end.
The captured image contains all system software, networking software, associated drivers, software applications, configurations, and all the files, including deleted files, slack space, and data files as well as the CMOS settings for the system. SnapBack DatArrest provides multiple ways to seize data such as, copying server hard drives to tape, PC hard drives to tape, server or PC hard drives to removable media, hard drives to hard drives or tape to tape.
The power, accuracy, and ease-of-use that DatArrest provides is the heart of the Disaster Recovery portion of SnapBack Live. The SnapBack Live product is the only True Image (byte-by-byte) backup of a live, in-use production server. System and user performance is unaffected because the Open Transaction Manager, (OTM), which is also included in SnapBack Live, creates an environment where the user has priority over the backup. This OTM technology has been validated and is shipping with some of the largest companies in the Storage industry, such as VERITAS® Software Corporation. The best part about SnapBack Live is that it provides users with a bare-metal restore in a single step from a single floppy. This Disaster Recovery portion of SnapBack Live is available for free at www.snapback.com and can be used in addition to your file-by-file backup package as the Disaster Recovery backup and restore, when used on a downed server in a non-forensic environment.
Groups such as the SFO (Serious Fraud Office), SEARCH (National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics), IACIS (International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists), Hi Tech Crime Network, F.A.C.T. (The Forensic Association of Computer Technologists), and National White Collar Crime Center (NWCCC) all use SnapBack DatArrest in forensic search and seizures.
