    You mean you would install new software without refreshing your fall back snapshot. Come on.

    I've been using FDISR without Data Anchoring and haven't had any issue.

    If you anchor My Documents, your snapshots are quite stable in size and don't grow that fast.

    If you don't anchor My Documents, your snapshots are getting bigger and bigger, because personal data grows every day.
    That's another reason why I stored my data on another partition because it is a long term solution.

    I recently stored ONE movie (The Godfather II) = +11gb on my computer to remove the flashbacks in this movie.
    If I would have stored this movie on my system partition, my archives and images would take alot longer, if I didn't anchor.

    And I'm not even talking about users, who collect photos, music, movies and other graphical files. You can't keep storing these objects on the same partition without anchoring or moving them to another partition.
    That is my opinion of course. :)

    I don't want to fight over this, just talk about it.

    As they so often say "Ah ha" Okay, now I am on the same page with you. My "My Documents" generally stays constant in size. I get voices mails as wav file attachments, so they build up, but I keep them cleaned out. It has been at an average size of 1.5 gigs, and is my sort of working area. The few photos, and program files, and the other "big" things, I like you keep on a separate drive.

    So bottom line is with your concept of my documents I agree 100% you would Data Anchor. With the way I use it it's fine without Data Anchoring. Neither are right or wrong, and the beauty is both work

    Key point is user needs to understand Data Anchoring, and figure out how to best use the tools within the way he/she works.
