An end to data loss

Your data on your PC is invaluable. If you should experience computer issues you could well lose many hours or days of work. You might think that Windows System Restore is an option in case you do experience issues or need to recover your documents. But while Windows System Restore can recover system files, it can't help you recover data. RollBack Rx is a more robust utility and backs up everything and can help you recover even if Windows becomes corrupted. The reason for this is that RollBack Rx has a pre-Windows, basic input/output boot-up console that sits below Windows. This sub-console lets you roll back to any of your many snapshots (restore points) and return to an earlier point in time before any issue appeared. And you don’t have to lose any data you were working on right up to the second your experienced the issue. Windows System Restore (or Reset and Refresh in Windows 8) is not nearly as reliable, robust, or comprehensive.

Have Your Systems Back Up and Running Within Seconds

Today's corporate environment is very demanding and requires that your computers always be functioning optimally. Downtime means that extra staff and resources are being allocated to unnecessary support tickets and your employees are forced to be unproductive. Maintaining a network of systems is a challenging activity for PC support groups with so many demands on their time. With keeping up with the latest intrusion methods, new viruses, new software updates, intellectual property issues, etc. arising regularily its difficult for system administrators to keep up. As if that were not enough, have a robust disaster recovery solution and having recent backups is a mission critical concern. This is where Rollback Rx is an indispensable lifeline for your busy IT administration staff. For example, if your systems are down because of a virus attack, with conventional methods this could well mean that your systems may be down for many hours. But with Rollback Rx, you can be back up and running within a few seconds.

Updating programs in trouble free manner

Keeping your operating system and your applications up-to-date on a regular basis can be a huge hassle. This can also be risky as some patches may not be compatible. But RollBack Rx lets you test your new application updates before you commit to them. With Rollback, patch testing and patch debugging become a simple process. You don’t even have to fix computer problems with a restore after each patch test. If you discover a week later that there's an issue with the new patch you can simply rollback to the point before the patch. This snapshot approach helps spot problems across the whole network.

Viruses, malware, spyware, worms, trojans, and other intruders are the bane of networks on the Internet. With pop-ups and identity theft occurring all the time, you face the constant risk of an errant click crashing your system. As a system administrator, with Rollback Rx software you can cleanly and completely back-out of any troubled patch or system update with a quick rollback, avoiding irreversible damage. RollBack Rx is the best Deep Freeze alternative available today.

Comodo Time Machine (CTM) Alternative System Restore Software

In its heyday, called Comodo Time Machine (CTM) was state-of-the-art instant snapshot creation software. It took a second or two to make a snapshot backup of everything on the system. And you could save thousands of these snapshots on your computer. It used to rollback everything on the hard drive to any of these earlier available snapshots with a single ordinary reboot. It worked even if Windows failed to start up. You didn't even need to revert your entire system back to an earlier snapshot to recover specific files or folders. You could simply explore a snapshot like you would any other Windows folder and simply drag-and-drop any particular data from the snapshot onto your current desktop. But Comodo Time Machine didn't support Windows 7 or Windows 8. And unfortunately, it also doesn't seem to be available for download any more. So, many people have been looking for software program similar to Comodo Time Machine. Comodo Time Machine was the best replacement of Windows System Restore. It was the fastest and most reliable system restore software bar none!

It turns out that Comodo Time Machine was a rebrand of Horizon DataSys' RollBack Rx v8. A much improved version of RollBack Rx is actually available today which updates Comodo Time Machine to support Windows 7 and Windows 8 and multiple harddrives. In fact, Rollback v10.2 is the nearest thing to a Time Machine for PCs available today. But Rollback is much quicker and more comprehensive than Time Machine. You can use Rollback as a full reset to that exact point in time when that snapshot was taken in just a few seconds. You can roll backwards and forwards to any system snapshot! If you accidentally delete a file or if a file gets corrupted, RollBack Rx's real-time data protection will recover any version of any file at any time with a few quick clicks and totally eliminates the risk of data loss.

Many people rely on virus removal to recover in case of a malware attack. But virus removal entails detecting and isolating known threats. Such programs generally require you to update your virus definitions almost every hour. In fact, many such anti-virus utilities even fail to detect many common viruses, trojans, worms, etc. hidden in packaged files until it’s too late. So such internet security applications give a false sense of security. But with RollBack Rx you can simply return your system --- on a bit-for-bit basis -- back to how it was before any such file corruption occurred. In fact, many users have reported that RollBack Rx is able to completely recover from Cryptolocker and return your PC back to an earlier snapshot before this ransomware Troject ever appeared and then simply browse the infected snapshot to see if any files can be recovered. RollBack allows you to instantaneously recovery from virus attacks by simply rolling back with a single restart.

Should you experience Incidental System Degradation slowing down your system, rolling back to an earlier snapshot is the fastest way to significantly improve and optimize your PC system performance. With regular use -- installing and uninstalling programs, adding and removing new drivers, moving data around, etc. -- over time you'll still find that your Windows installation taking a little longer to start up, run, perform tasks, and shut down. RollBack allows you to return to an earlier snapshot without losing any of the current changes you've made to your system.

Hard Drive Recovery Cards

Hard drive recovery cards were a common harddisk recovery method a few years ago at many networked computer environments. Harddrive recovery cards were physically attached to the public access computers and effected a simple reset back to an unalterable system state on every bootup. The impetus behind recovery cards was the automatic removal of inadvertent or intentional changes made by public users on multi-user PCs such as at libraries, hotels, classroom labs, internet cafes, et cetra. Recovery cards simplified public access computer management by returning the machines back to a consistent system configuration (called the "baseline") pre-defined by the network manager. The biggest problem with this hardware-driven approach to freeze the public machines was that there wasn't very much customization possible once the machines were set up. The recovery card firmware was hard-coded onto the actual card. This meant that the machines returned to a pre-programmed baseline setting, not to an up-to-date baseline including the latest Windows updates and new program updates.

But now there are software alternatives that can be used very much like those outdated hard drive recovery cards but which can be also be updated regularly to incorporate the latest anti-malware definitions, application updates, and Windows patches. There's a freeware solution that does essentially this from Horizon DataSys called Reboot Restore Rx. Reboot Restore Rx is a robust reboot-to-restore software that can do everything those obsolete recovery cards used to do without any of the associated problems. Like recovery cards, Reboot Restore Rx write-protects the harddrive. And since Reboot Restore Rx is a software-based hard drive restore, you can temporarily suspend the restore and update the restore point to incorporate the latest Windows and program updates. Reboot Restore Rx is a non-restrictive restore technology that lets administrators give their public users full admin privileges even while allowing them to recover from deleted system files, virus infections, system crashes, or worse.

If you need more functionality, another software-based recovery solution to consider is Drive Vaccine. Drive Vaccine is an instant restore PC software that can effect a much more robust, quicker, and more efficient restore capability than recovery cards and also even allows you to restore back to an earlier baseline. Drive Vaccine comes with a free central management utility for controlling your entire public networked machines from a single interface.
