BLACKbox Feature Focus Series – Active Recycle Bin

We are launching this FFS (Feature Focus Series) written by our product development team. In this series, we shall focus on one single feature of BLACKbox and elaborate it for our partners’ understanding. Enjoy the video or read the 3rd episode of this FFS Series.

In this series, we will take one single feature of BLACKbox and explain how it solves a serious problem, which otherwise cannot be solved by traditional solutions. Today, we are taking Active Recycle Bin as a signature proprietary feature of BLACKbox, and we will see how necessary it is for Enterprises. Accidental or intentional deletion of data is the most common disaster to happen in any enterprise. Many times, it becomes a suspense thriller, “who did it”. Sometimes, even it becomes unwanted sequels, “who keeps doing”…

Consequences of Accidental or Intentional Deletion of Data

Imagine the team is chasing a project timeline, or bidding a tender at the last moment, or on the verge of a breakthrough, and a user shift+delete all files accidentally or intentionally over the network. The timeline is missed, work from hundreds of manhours is wasted, business continuity is lost, and recreation becomes just impossible. Imagine, if a user is doing it intentionally, the entire organization’s operations can be disrupted by a whim of a user. The enterprise might feel helpless as it cannot catch hold of such users doing it anonymously.

Traditional way to deal with such a situation

When this happens, the top priority is to restore deleted data ASAP and continue the business. Most enterprises dig in the last backup to get that deleted data. Mostly they can’t do it because the data in the last backup is not the same as the data deleted. It is also cumbersome to dig into the backup and restore the data. If the user has deleted data intentionally, an enterprise would know about the deletion much later. By that time those deleted data blocks would have been deleted from the backup also.  In short, it becomes a nightmare and causes business discontinuity and losses…

Feature Focus on Active Recycle Bin

What could be the solution? How about, all your servers, laptops, and desktop data are automatically centralized on a central device. This central device captures deleted data for a specified period. How about, if such a system, keeps tagging who deleted the data too? BLACKbox captures the data deleted by users from the network folders residing on itself. It also captures all file actions by users including deletion and modification. It empowers the enterprises to restore the deleted data instantly in the same state as it was deleted, as well as, it gives a powerful report to query and identifies who deleted specific files and folders.

With the BLACKbox on your side, you no longer have to tolerate those unwanted suspense thrillers and sequels.

This is one of the 50 discerning features of BLACKbox, which solves a genuine problem, breaks the notion about how deleted data can be recovered.
