General Software Discussion / Re: Are you going to wait for Windows 9?
« Last post by Curt on November 21, 2012, 04:51 PM »
By now I have read all the posts in this thread, and I must say, you people have made me feel that Windows 7 will be my last Windows; I really like all my small-company-written programs - but it seems they will die out! No, it can't be so. it mustn't.

Right now I would prefer to stick to Win 7, but on a new machine.

General Software Discussion / R-Drive Image 5
« Last post by Curt on November 21, 2012, 07:20 AM »
... I have their R-Drive Image. When I politely requested a new feature, I was simply told that the program had a trial period. (period!).

One good thing is, they run the same major version's number for several years.

"Several years" have passed since the introduction of version 4, so now version 5 has finally been launched.

R-Drive Image $44.95 http://www.drive-image.com/ R-Drive Image Technician $299

We would like to tell you about a new version of R-Drive Image (5.0 Build 5001) has recently been released.

In comparison with the previous version 4.7, the new R-Drive Image software has the following new improvements and bugfixes.

New features:
+ Support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

+ A new faster and more robust disk processing engine. A lot of bugs are fixed; R-Drive Image became more stable and reliable.
+ Separate files can be restored from images.
+ Support for several languages in GUI and help.
+ A startup version with GUI.

+ A new image format with a new file extension, .rdr. The old image formats are still supported.
+ R-Drive Image now can copy partitions from a hard disk to another one with a 512KB alignment. This is useful for SSD and advanced-formatted disks.
+ R-Drive Image can now set a process priority and a number of CPU cores used to create an image.
+ New disk object descriptors are introduced into the -s and -d script parameters. These descriptors allow R-Drive Image to use more disk characteristics, like disk serial number, name, and capacity, and alike to identify disk objects. Previously, only disk and partition number were used which might confuse R-Drive Image when a disk configuration of the computer has been changed.

+ The "Check the image file immediately upon its creation" option is added to the startup version.
+ A new option "Also apply the settings before creating a new image" is added to the backup set parameters. If this option is selected, the settings will be applied twice, before and after a new image  file has been created. For example, if the number of files is set  to 2, and there are 2 files already, one file will be deleted before a new image file will be created. This may be necessary if there´s not enough space for 3 image files.
+ R-Drive Image now can copy partitions from a hard disk to another one with a 512KB alignment. This is useful for SSD and advanced-formatted disks.
+ R-Drive Image can now set a process priority and a number of CPU cores used to create an image.

Improvements:
* Disk signature collision resolution for disk to disk copy.
* A new Linux kernel in the startup version.
* Free disk space is re-evaluated when the Refresh button is clicked.
* The maximum size for MBR created during image creation or copying/restoring is increased to 1MB. The previous maximum size was 63 sec which wasn´t enough for grub2. That may resulted in an unbootable Linux system after copy/restore.
* The startup version now supports Highpoint RocketRaid 27xx.
* Memory usage optimization when creating images of huge partitions (3+TB).
* R-Drive Image now correctly copies file systems between disks with different sector size.

=Changes
= The Realign partitions option is used now on the Restore/Copy parameters panel for the disk copy action instead of One partition after another.

See complete list of changes at our forum: http://forum.r-tt.co...n-history-t5039.html

Please pay your attention to the new version of our data recovery software R-STUDIO.

R-Studio and R-Drive Image share the same image file format. If you use R-Drive Image product as your backup software, you can use R-STUDIO to open an archive created by R-Drive Image and recover data even if the archive file was damaged or corrupted for any reason.

Combined package of R-Drive Image and R-Studio products is a reliable protection for your data. All R-DRIVE IMAGE license owners get US$ 9.00 discount for R-STUDIO license.

Once the program's license key has been activated (before the 28'th) on their server, it is of course activated, no matter how often you may have to re-install the program. I should think this is normal procedure for (most) giveaways.

Buzz Folders Extreme may very well be The Best of the kind, but compared to the alternatives, Extreme is also extremely expensive! => The normal price £59 will only give updates for a year!! :o

I cannot afford to come anywhere near this program, and today's offer does nothing to change this
-only a more fair update policy can change my attitude towards this extremely expensive program.

Edited:

CURT,

HOORAY! I´m pleased to announce that your order has been processed and is now complete.

Please rest assured that we hold great urgency to each and every shipment. Your package will leave us within 24 business hours of this email. Standard domestic shipping takes 3-7 business days. Standard International shipping takes 2-3 weeks. Unless you selected a shipping service with tracking, there will not be an additional email.

After a rigorous 4 step process of verifying the quality and consistency of each and every magnet,  we donned silk gloves and placed it into a sacred padded envelope made of magic and lined with Unicorn fur, sealed the envelope with an adhesive made from strands of Gypsy hair, and wrapped the whole thing in a snazzy looking faux gold leaf paper, with elm leaf inlay from Costco. Unfortunately, by the time it gets to you, all of that fancy stuff will likely have been picked clean by the greedy postal service employees. Please don´t be surprised to see just a plain padded envelope.

I don't trust the OP's motive to be clean, he is just trying a new angle to continue his fight against Bartels Media.

By the way, clean, your post on Bits du Jour, the one that was 'censored', it was most likely deleted because it was way too long.

I don't know what Black Friday is, it sounds scary. But because I am a long time user of Flexense Sync Breeze Pro, I want to recommend this deal. And as an example on the differences between Free, Pro and Ultimate, here is SyncBreeze:

Congratulations on a fine product, and Thank You for the giveaway!  :up:

When I ran the duplicate finder part, I was surprised to realize that I had to either delete the dup, or replace it with a link - no option to simply "unselect and keep both these duplicates". Such an option would be a feature request of mine, because sometimes I like to wear both belt and suspenders...

But again, thank you for this generous gift!
