A disconnected StopCopy.

We just got a call from a StopCopy user and while he was very happy with it, he did have a question: “I see all the users file activity while they are on network, right here in the StopCopy console….but what about when they take their laptop out of the office? What happens then? Does the product still work?”

We replied “Yes, StopCopy continues to protect files even if disconnected from the network, but since the laptop isn’t on the network the file operations alerts can’t be sent to the StopCopy console.” We then told him that the next time the laptop was connected to the network, he could use the “View remote log” button and it will display the file operation audit log from that machine…which shows both blocked operations AND allowed operations, both while connected to the network and disconnected from it.

StopCopy is a great little product.
