IT Weekly Roundup, May 13

From the business wires this week: data recovery software for Windows File Systems, a .NET tool for creating application skins, and a near-indestructible tablet PC.

Sonasoft, Inc. released a new data recovery management console for Microsoft Windows File Systems. SonaSafe Point-Click Recovery for File Systems provides image-level backup of files to the point of failure for Windows servers in a single or multi-server environment. http://www.sonasoft.com

Lightspeed Systems announced new enhancements in the content filter functionality of its Total Traffic Control (TTC) v.5.03 security software. The content filter improvements include faster processing of Web requests, an updated automated categorization engine, and custom language support. TTC’s content filter database also jumped from 11 million entries to 15 million. http://www.lightspeedsystems.com

Command Prompt, Inc. released the latest version of its asynchronous replication engine. Mammoth PostgreSQL Replicator 8.0.2 1.4 features point in time recovery (PITR), which recovers databases to a particular point in time, the ability to partition database data onto different physical partitions, and Win32 and .NET support for Windows 2000 and above. http://www.commandprompt.com

Just as Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox 360 gaming console’s interchangeable faceplates will let users customize the look of their Xboxes, DirectSkin 4.5 from Stardock enables .NET Framework-based developers create unique GUIs for their applications. The developing tool integrates third-party software and can lock in one look for the application or allow users to select from different skins. DirectSkin supports all major Microsoft development environments, including Visual Basic, C++, .NET 2003 and Visual C# .NET 2003. http://www.directskin.com

The 6.4-pound (with battery) tablet PC is powered by a mobile Intel Pentium III 866MHz processor and has a 10.4-inch 800x600 resolution TFT LCD touch screen, 128MB RAM, a 20GB hard drive and 32MB VRAM. http://www.ajaxsys.com

WMatch 3 can also compare a local or network directory to an FTP directory and save directory listings as Microsoft Excel, HTML or text files. http://www.go.pcmag.com/wmatch
