nsfRewind — The First Field-Level Data Backup Utility for Notes — Now Available

June 1st, 2009 by Corey Davis

nsfRewind is the first tool to allow administrators and end-users to backup and restore data in Domino databases at the document’s field-level, and it is now available. nsfRewind utilizes a micro-backup architecture to achieve field-level backup and restore saving Domino administrators countless hours by bypassing the cumbersome task of restoring the entire database from tape.

With every change being recorded, nsfRewind also doubles as a data auditing and monitoring utility. It can be configured to send e-mail alerts when specific fields or documents are modified, thus providing an unparalleled level of security in knowing that modifications to an organization’s most critical documents are being recorded and can easily be restored to their previous state. Administrators will be able to “walk” through the entire history of changes to each field, as well as rollback — “rewind” — fields to any previously recorded value with a simple mouse click.

nsfRewind To Be Available June 1st

May 19th, 2009 by Corey Davis

nsfRewind, a field-level data backup and auditing utility for IBM Lotus Domino, will go Gold on June 1st. The utility tracks the entire life-cycle of documents in Domino databases and allows for alerting to be setup when specific documents or fields are modified, and also allows for individual fields to be restored from backup as opposed to restoring the entire database which is required today.

Two version of nsfRewind will be made available: Server Document Edition and Enterprise Edition.

The nsfRewind Server Document Edition will be made available absolutely free of charge. This version of nsfRewind can be used to backup and monitor any or all server documents in the Domino Directory.

The nsfRewind Enterprise Edition can also monitor server documents as well as any document in any Domino database. The Enterprise Edition will be licensed per Domino domain and pricing will be announced on June 1st.

With the ability to now monitor and restore field-level data changes, Domino will be more secure and user friendly than ever before. Currently, there is no built-in mechanism in Domino to monitor and alert on field-level document modifications. With nsfRewind in place, this auditing allows for a more secure environment by allowing sensitive fields to essentially have a trigger associated with them to send off an e-mail alert whenever they are changed.

As the entire life-cycle of a document is tracked, the ability to restore a single field in a single document becomes available. Today, Domino administrators are forced to restore the entire database from backup, find the correct document, and copy & paste it into the production database. Depending on the size of the database, the number of documents it contains, and how quickly the administrator can find the specific document, this process can take an hours. With nsfRewind in place, the process now takes minutes. Simply find the modified field’s previous value in nsfRewind and rewind the field. A single-click is all it takes!

For more information, or to be alerted as soon as the product is made available, please check our nsfRewind product page.

I am happy to announce that work on nsfRewind has been moving along quickly and (knock on wood) with very little problems. Therefore, this afternoon Release Candidate 1 was made available to beta testers.

Release Candidate 1 marks the end of beta testing and signifies the first production ready release of nsfRewind. Though a release date for the Gold version has not yet been announced, keep an eye on this blog as I expect to make the announcement here in the next week or two.

Talk Me Down: End-of-Life for First Generation iPhone Looming?

March 17th, 2009 by Corey Davis

Today Apple held their press event for the iPhone 3.0 SDK preview. There are some great things coming to the new iPhone OS, due to launch in the summer, but a comment by Greg Joswiak near the end of the event regarding the launch date of the OS caught my attention:

And we’re going to ship it this summer. And we’re going to ship it as a customer update free to all of our iPhone 3G customers. And as a special bonus, we’ve even enabled it to work on the original iPhone.

As a special bonus? This phrasing, along with how he stated this, his inflection, makes me wonder if Apple is preparing us for an end-of-life announcement on the original iPhone hardware. I don’t think this is too far fetched consider that 2-year contracts will be up and ready for renewal, oh, let’s see….this summer! (more…)

What I Took Away From Lotusphere 2009

January 26th, 2009 by Corey Davis

Now that Lotusphere 2009 has ended this is a good time to wrap-up my thoughts on what I saw, learned, and look forward to. The first and undoubtedly most import takeaway for me this year is that IBM appears to be making a strong marketing push for the Lotus Software division. While talking about marketing is usually a joke-filled subject there is value to a strong marketing campaign. While we could argue about it siphoning monies away from further development of the product, the bottom line is, well, the bottom line. If Lotus does not sell product then they cannot continue to make product and therefor anything that drives sales is for good and not ill. And, speaking of selling product, it was encouraging to hear of the 12,000+ new customers that Lotus acquired in 2008. (more…)

Lotusphere 2009 Business Development Day General Session

January 18th, 2009 by Corey Davis

The Business Development Day, or BDD, covered several topics and was nearly as lively as a Lotusphere Opening General Session.  The theme of the show is “The New Renaissance” and this was played up fairly consistently during the entire session.

After some general opening comments we started with the entertainment: artist Dan Dunn.  Dan, who is famous for his Paintjam improvisational on-stage painting, came up and literally wowed the audience by transforming a blank canvas and some paint into the Mona Lisa all set to music.  Mona Lisa.  Renaissance.  Get it?
