IP-PBX DISASTER RECOVERY UTILITY RELEASED 
Bootable Disk-on-Key Keeps Downtime to a Minimum
Xorcom Live Rescue™ is a new utility that allows Xorcom customers to recover and run their Xorcom XR1000 (new model), XR2000 and XR3000 Asterisk-based IP-PBX directly from a Disk-on-Key (DOK) connected to the IP-PBX USB port. Xorcom Live Rescue utilizes USB Disk-on-Key technology.

Designed for use in cases of faulty configuration, disk crash, or other disasters, Live Rescue provides simple, safe and speedy recovery for Xorcom's IP-PBX solutions. It enables seamless operation of the PBX system from a bootable 4 GB USB DOK until such time as maintenance can be scheduled conveniently.

Live Rescue works in conjunction with Xorcom Rapid Recovery™, a utility for backing up and restoring the Xorcom IP-PBX. Rapid Recovery backs up configuration files, voice prompts and even voice mail, if desired, and stores them on a credit-card-sized USB-connected DOK.
