VRDB http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=4818.msg34783#msg34783
It stores the necessary info to restore executables (*.exe, *.com) files.
VRDB is not a backup system, the stored information is very small (not the whole files).
Besides, only Win32 executables are processed.
The VRDB data are stored in \Data\Integ\avast.int
So it’s not a backup utility, but a restore feature of avast.
You can’t manage it manually.
Feel free to come back any time you need help you just to change experiences 8)
