General Software Discussion / Re: advice needed.....FirstDefense-ISR, ShadowProtect, ShadowUser, Rollback Rx???
« on: November 18, 2008, 02:06 PM »
Thanks for all the feedback guys!
I'm going to email Todd at Leapfrog and see if there is any possible way to still get a copy.
(I'm sure plenty of people have driven him nuts asking before)
If that falls through, it looks like a good alternative may be ShadowProtect + Returnil.
That way I can keep my C: drive backup states on the NAS drive in case the C: drive goes bad,
and it will still protect from viruses and the like on a daily basis.
I already try to keep most of my data on D:.
I downloaded both of those last night (ShadowProtect & Returnil)
and they seemed to work well. I also tried "ShadowSurfer" but it didn't
seem as nice as the free Returnil. I'm going to try a demo of DeepFreeze
today for the heck of it too.
The one bummer I see in these is installing windows updates. That's where
something like Rollback Rx looks good. I have to admit, that comment about
HorizonData's support really makes me want to steer clear of their products!
I did manage to search around and found "Eaz-Fix" which looks like the
identical product.. I can't tell who's licensing it from who though.
Is something like ShadowProtect comatible with Eaz-Fix/Rollback Rx?
And if so, would ShadowProtect also be saving off all of the hidden undo data,
or just the current "snapshot"?
Oh, I downloaded microsoft SteadyState, but it somehow feels less steady than Returnil.
I also didn't like how hidden it was...I would prefer a bright icon letting me know
what mode I'm in.
Back to more testing
