Software similar to Goback for Windows 8

Norton GoBack is a legacy product that's no longer available in the open market. Noton's software has also traded under the names Roxio Goback, Adaptec Goback, among others. While GoBack isn’t available for Windows 8 there is a similar product called Comodo Time Machine. Goback is a partial static disaster recovery solution but it did have a subsystem console to recover in case windows failed to startup. Since Goback takes up a buffer space of about 20-30% of the harddisk capacity, it can only be used for the creation of occasional backup points. When the buffer space of GoBack is full, it starts to delete its earlier checkpoints and its storage of earlier data. GoBack software also replaces the partition table with a single partition.

RollBack Rx is, by comparison, a dynamic and complete system and data backup and restore solution. RollBack Rx is the only system restore software that can reasonably be called an instant PC restore solution. It only takes RollBack Rx a few seconds to capture a four terabyte harddrive (on most systems). RollBack Rx's snapshots can be taken manually, on a fixed schedule, or be triggered by system events. RollBack Rx’s patented sector-mapping technology means that each snapshot takes up roughly 0.07% of the available storage capacity of the available hard disk (but this depends on the incremental changes made since the previous snapshot) and as many as 60,000 snapshots can theoretically be had/inventoried. Use of minimal system resources means RollBack Rx can capture the state of your PC more often even while using less harddrive space.

If you’re looking for a GoBack software alternative then you should take a look at RollBack Rx. RollBack Rx is the quickest and most comprehensive system restore software in the market these days. Background backups with GoBack will more often than not lead to slowdowns in other computing tasks. If you'd like a full backup you'll have to leave your computer turned-on overnight, and, this will require about a quarter of your harddrive. RollBack Rx, by contrast, is an instant backup option. Rollback Rx won't interrupt your work or gameplay for that matter. RollBack Rx is the Time Machine for Windows PCs.
