Nod5:
I can't find a link to the beta on your site

apankrat:
It's in closed beta at the moment. PM me if you want in. If not, it should hit public beta in a couple of weeks.

Also, if I find a way to automate the cold-cache testing (suggestions would be very welcome!), I'll throw in stats from my old dualcore-with-SSD laptop.

I found a way (a while ago, I just keep forgetting to update this thread).

This is done by flushing "Standby list" of Windows Memory Manager. For example, with Sysinternals' RAMMap -



It can also be done with NtSetSystemInformation from within the app if needed.

BGM:
I just wanted to say that I use this program on my server to back up all my network's windows workstations.  It is wonderful!

Great, thanks!

Just tested on Win8.1 x64, and it indeed works. Interesting, because "back in the day" I did a bit of searching, and the concencus seemed to be that the read cache couldn't be flushed, even through NtSetSystemInformation. Any idea when this was introduced? Has it been there a while, but just overlooked? RamMap apparently doesn't run on XP, so perhaps Vista+?

Also, seems you can flush cache for a single file by opening with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING and closing again, for all Windows version. Here's a StackOverflow post with a bit of information :)
