EAZ-FIX question

i want to know whether the space assigned to baseline is constant or not ?
my next question
does the amount of free space remaining in the c drive change when changes are being made to baseline.
that is
Is there any thing like the size of baseline increases with the number changes made to the system increases .
this question may also be relevant for rollback rx and ayrecovery users..
(i have not created any snapshots)

 

my question is simple

"If u make lot of changes in ur system after eaz-fix software is installed, does the space used up the program increase?"

 

Once you've installed eaz-fix, the baseline is locked and doesn't change at all unless you specifically use the 'update baseline' option.
Any changes you've made since installing it will be taking up space, exactly how much you won't know until you take a snapshot and then check its size in 'snapshot history'.

 

The space occupied by the baseline is constant.

If you make a lot of changes you will notice that the occupied space on the disk increases but temporary; until you perform a snapshot defrag and "reclaim" the free space of your "Current Snapshot".

If i dont take the snapshots ,then will the space change?(i mean i only use baseline and synchronized exclusion folders)

 

With all due respect, if you don't take snapshots after the baseline you are defeating the entire purpose of EAZ-Fix (or Rollback Rx).

As stated by others, the space taken by the baseline snapshot remains unchanged, but if that's your intended 'M.O.' I suggest you abandon EF and use a disk-imaging program!

 

Only making subsequent snapshots will consume more disk-space. But (as Peter and Aaron have indicated) it makes no sense to use EF or RB (or for that matter, any of the instant-restore programs) without taking additional snapshots as your system undergoes changes. All of the instant-restore programs require system overhead and the EF/RB variety modify the MBR, so unless you are going to make use of snapshots beyond the installation snapshot (the 'baseline') do your system a favor and opt for one of the several decent disk-imaging programs instead (as Aaron suggests).

 

thanks for answering my first query.......

well i do take snap shot whenever it is very important and also have a habit of updating baseline whenever i find stable updates and additions of programs .

my baseline itself has lot of installed programs
i dont take a snap shot because i have less disk space as of now.

most of the changes i make on c drive i more of data than programs ,so i use exclusion list very much........

disk imaging program take around 15 minutes to restore(eaz-fix take few seconds only) and are fairly good.
i do use disk image programs like shadow protect and drive snapshot ......,but exclusion list during restore is unfortunately not available in the disk imaging program as far as i know.......

i may go for disk imaging as a permanent solution if i have some folders to remain intact during restore..

i have lot of free space on drives excepting the windows drive
i have 20 gb of disk space on c drive of which 4 gb is free , i want to extend the overall disk space to 40 gb , without reinstalling xp ......is it possible?i need increase the disk space but also want my drive to remain intact ......If i get a solution to this problem i will use rollback software though i have taken a disk image also for protection

 

Raakii it is possible,

Without reinstalling XP - it is possible :

Use KCleaner, RegSeeker, Advanced WindowsCare 3 ( Beta ) ; clean your services and startup entries, use Windows Installer Clean Up, JavaRa ; delete WindowsUpdate.log (force delete ...), ReportingEvents.log, clear hiberfile.sys ... etc. etc .
My wife, it agrees; then ...

 

i am not increasing my free disk space , i have to extend my partition and add 20gb from another partition ,without the erasing contents of original partition
