RollBack Rx and imaging software

[bgoodman4]

I asked the folks at Horizon to clarify if RollBack Rx would serve as a replacement for other imaging software (such and specifically Acronis True Image) and I thought some of you folks would like to see their response.

Thank you for your inquiry. Rollback Rx Pro will be able to perform the functions of ATI as it has in it built in Imagining Software. The only concern that you need to worry about is if you have other software running that will be using the MBR, that is what the Knowledge Base article is referring to. If you have software running that uses the MBR, it could cause conflicts with Rollback. As far as having our help files added as a download from our website, I will make this suggestion to our Developers.

Best Regards,

Horizon Support" }-

Yes but not as efficiently as a dedicated imaging software

I tried Rollback's imaging capability, and I really didn't like it. It gets the job done, but as raaki said, it's not as good as some other programs. It's not surprising, since Rollback's primary function is just that---an Instant System Recovery. The imaging feature is more like a bonus.

I would expect you are correct but there has been a lot of talk about problems between using both ATI and RollBack RX so I thought I would add this bit of info to the mix. I would expect that the vast majority of problems would be effectively dealt with by simply rolling back using Rx, the only problem that might require a dedicated image (assuming Rxs is not sufficient) would be with a hard drive failure. I wonder if Rx would allow for a transfer to another (replacement) drive. TI will of course.
