HDGuard? Similar to Returnil, or Shadow Defender?

[capatt]

Hello
Does anyone have any experience with HDGuard? It's similar to Returnil and Shadow Defender, but has the advantage of retaining changes through reboots. Can protect multiple volumes.

Any experiences out there?

Thanks

Retaining changes through reboots is indeed possible through seminar mode or software test mode.

There are a total of three modes (from page 9 of the user manual):

Automatic
The “Automatic” operating mode restores the original data of the protected partitions
with each restart. The user cannot interfere with this option.

Software Test
The “Software test” operating mode restores the original data of the protected partitions
with each re-start under normal circumstances. The user can decide, however, that the
data of the last session should be retained. The user can initiate this either during the
preceding session or directly before starting Windows.

Seminar Mode
The “Seminar mode” of operation restores the original data of the protected partitions
only if this is requested by the user. Under normal circumstances, all changes are
retained from session to session! This mode of operation is therefore very well suited
for seminars lasting several days, where the user would like to continue with his work
the next day, for example.

If that's the case, the only added feature is being able to commit just prior to Windows loading, but that is certainly closer to Returnil/ShadowDefender than Deep Freeze.
