Computer Backup Best Practices - Why RollBack is Better than Traditional Backup


Most of us never realize how valuable and extensive all the data we save on our computers is until one day when our system crashes and we face the possibility of losing it all. One errant click could wipe out a critical document, a malware infection could cause us to lose many months of work; and a single Windows-related issue could destroy all the data on your hard drive. This is why it's so important to have a disaster recovery plan in case of such contingencies.

With traditional backup technology there's always a trade-off between the amount of data to be backed up and how long the backup process will take. Since the backups are about as large as the disk storage space taken up by the original data (even using the best compression available) there's a limit on how long these inordinately large backup images can be kept before they're replaced with more recent backups. If you're using an imaging product for backing-up you'll typically find that in order to back up 150 Gb of data you'll be creating a full-backup image of about 70 GB in size (at the best possible compression rate) and it takes about a minute per GB to save. That's already 70 to 90 minutes! Worse, even if you resolve to back up regularly you may go lengthy periods between backups. But there’s a better way.

Further, Windows System Restore isn't an option since it can only help you recover Windows System files and not your personal documents, vacation photos, spreadsheets, e-mail addresses, financial information, et cetra. RollBack Rx, on the other hand, is the best alternative to Windows System Restore on the market today. RollBack Rx creates complete data backup copies of every last file and folder on your harddrive and can capture all the changes made to even the largest hard drives available today in a second or two (on most systems). And RollBack allows you to customize how the snapshot-taking are triggered, the resources they occupy on your system, how long they're retained, et cetra. Each snapshot takes up less than 1% of the harddrive and many thousands of such snapshots can be inventoried. These recovery points are encrypted sector maps of everything on your machine; Windows System files, your personal documents, spreadsheets, Outlook contacts, vacation photos, et cetra; in short, everything on your harddrive, right down to the icons on your desktop. RollBack Rx seamlessly integrates with Windows to crash-proof your computer.

If you accidentally delete a file, download a virus, experience the infamous Windows Blue Screen of Death, or even if Windows fails to boot-up you can still fix any such issue by going back in time. With RollBack Rx, the PC Time Machine, simply rollback to an earlier snapshot. RollBack Rx turns these common everyday system issues into minor inconveniences rather than catastrophic occurrences. You need simply restart the computer into the RollBack Rx pre-Windows subsystem and rollback. That's it! When the PC reboots it'll return to exactly the same state the machine was in when the snapshot was taken. Once you've rolled back to an earlier snapshot, you can then recover any lost data that you may have been working on prior to experiencing issues.

Data recovery is super-fast and painless. Simply browse a more recent snapshot and drag-and-drop files and folders onto your current desktop. Having RollBack Rx installed is like having a safety net that allows you a more carefree computing experience and not worry about whether your critical data is safe. RollBack Rx ends the risk of data loss.

  1. I've used Rollback for about 5 years on a number of laptops.In short my PC is 100% secure with Rollback RX. It saves me from getting to hardware problem & protects from viruses. Continuous data backup software is that it runs in the background and requires no effort very useful software, every one should have it.
