Rollback Rx is a pearl in protecting your PC, its main purpose is to save a snapshot of your current system (or selected partition) and in the case you have a system failure, infection, or just deleted something important , you just need one click to restore it as if nothing happened.
You will say " i have a Backup Image, why i should use that?"
My answer is simple :
How long you have to wait when doing a backup image of your system? 20, 30mn, 1 hour? then how long to restore it?
For me it took 10-15mn for just backup my 17.5gb system with Acronis, With Rollback, i need 1mn !
Also RX allows you to take multiple successive snapshots then delete the ones you don't need anymore.
Rollback sit on the top of your system, it create an "hidden partition" where it stocks the snapshots. It is why imaging softwares are not compatible since they don't recognize the hidden partition, and both loads drivers on boot so you may have conflicts.
Tip: If you still need an imaging backup software, i suggest you to use the boot CD version instead of the installer one (most of them allow you to create it) so you will avoid to install drivers that may conflict with RX, and the boot CD will load before RX.
Tip 2 : i highly suggest to do a cleaning of your system, defragmentation, backup image BEFORE installing RX.
now go for a tour:
Main Tab
the home tab, here you will find the basic information about RX and your system, nothing very exciting here.
Instant Recovery
here is the place where you can restore your snapshots, it indicates the size, status, date of creation, and type of snapshot.
RX when, installed, create an "origin" snapshot called "Baseline" it will be the source of all further snapshots and it is locked from deletion by default.
On my screenshot you can observe i created a "test lab" snapshot (where i test malwares and security solutions), the snapshot is a "user" type, means it is not locked by default (but i locked it)
Recover
Here RX allow you to just recover some files from your past snapshots, very useful when you just deleted by mistake your copy of an long time consuming made report
Explore Snapshot
with this you can explore the content of a snapshot; it will be mounted as a virtual drive.
Snapshot
This tab is the snapshot manager, but here you can lock/unlock snapshots and delete old ones.
Task Scheduler
The place for automate different tasks
Event Log
Just an event log
Tools and Settings
there you will have the tools and setting tabs.
Access Control
Here is just the panel when you can add a password to your snapshots.
Baseline Manager
There you can manage the baseline (original snapshot) or create a new one.
Snapshot Defragmenter
Here is a very useful tab, with time as any files, snapshot get fragmented, there you can defragment them (it is why i said earlier than
3rd party software (Puran, auslogic and co. are not recommended, because they will change the structure of your current system (in fact an active snapshot, and will make the next one bigger in size).
A while ago all my snapshots (saved + current) took around 8gb of space, after defragmenting them here, i regained 5gb.
Program Settings
3 tabs here:
- Program Appearance: just one thing, you can change the key for opening RX during the boot (useful on a laptop without the "Home" key.
- Advanced Setting : some settings to facilitate the use of RX
- Network Setting : just to remotely control RX
It is Finished !
For a final note:
Rollback RX is a very very useful tool that will save your life many times, if you can afford the price don't hesitate.
I rate it 5/5
