Introducing AX64 Time Machine - hybrid imaging/snapshot software

Exactly ...and I reported how I resolved this problem in posts 8364 and 8366, so I don't understand the aftermath about using uninstallers?

Jezzz....I was only trying to help. I related my experience. I could not completely uninstall AX64. Tried their un-installer, CCleaner and PrivaZer. Still had problems. Then ran Revo. It found a few things. I don't recall where they were or what they were. Not that interested at the time, but afterwards my PC was once again running as it should. Needless to say, I was pleased. So......

 

Best of luck on this program with all sincerity but when ISSO first announced that a merger had been drawed up & made, the handwriting was already on the wall IMO for my systems thereafter. Issue after issue and long long delays for me is the same old same old and I have moved on although I continue to use ISSO's version on some of my machines.

 

I would think from a business perspective that a solid, working version of AX64 would bring in revenue.

 

ive reverted back to the older version. for me v2 is just to "iffy" sometimes it works fine and others it just simply doesnt. good thing i always use a second form of backup or i would have lost a LOT of important data. if you are using v2 especially make sure to always use a second form of backup

 

What is the status on this wonderful software?

I haven't heard anything new in quite awhile

 

You are so right Peter. I am still waiting for the next version of the beta that removes the block on having PD installed. I am being patient...but I have to admit that I do miss the 'old days' when the development team (aka Isso) communicated progress/status much more regularly. I appreciate that we do want to let them get on a produce the definitive version of TM64...but a little more news on where things are at would greatly help reduce the disquiet that I feel some of the brethren are feeling.

Yes, true. In fact, I'm a time traveler and have come back from the future with a stable version, TMv14. It's great. Rock solid. You guys would not believe the improvements. The snapshots are faster than the time it takes to press the backup key. Amazing. And the restore time is instantaneous. Personally, I find it too fast because I can't tell if it restored without looking at some recent changes. That takes some time. Also, it works with PD v137! But that was a no brainer since Waj et. al. ended up buying Raxco. Anyway, I'm selling it on eBay for $20,000 (monthly subscription). Please wire to my offshore bank account, circa 2023.

 

Oh guys, an historic question here, in v 1.4.48, I can't remember how to start a new chain. Keeps trying to merge 2 files and hangs at 24.1%. Thanks.

 

Just delete/move the backup folder, create new backup folder, then press make backup from within time machine, this will create a new baseline in your backup folder.

 

You don't even have to create a new backup folder. Just change the name of the current chain folder to something like AXTM2, and make your new snapshot. AX64 creates the new folder. This baseline snapshot will take longer than subsequent snapshots.

 

Correct, provided you have room for two backup chians. Unfortunately on my ssd I only have room for one, so I normally move the old backup to another drive.

 

Thanks, all. Guess I could have figured that out by looking at my backup drive and seeing the other folders from past old chains. Oy! Brain fog. All that time travel, you know.

 

I was an early user of AX64. before the merge and before Windows 8.1.
I was never able to use AX64 with W8.1. I got a refund.
I recently tried ver 2 and it seemed to work fine.
Now, I don’t know what to do. I am concerned about buying this again since Waj left. There seems to be little development or communication since the buyout.
I have seen software developers disappear before (JV16) over less.
I like AX64 but I am thinking the risk/reward is out of balance.
I wish I had another clear choice for a backup program that is as fast as AX64.

 

Hey MB, do you mean 'Waj left' or 'Isso left'...I know about the latter but have not heard about the former (must have been asleep if I missed that)?

 

Waj is the new CEO(?) and Isso is still involved but at a much reduced level of involvement (I believe).

As for buying version 2, you cannot. Its a beta and we are waiting for a new updated beta to be available for testing. I don't think that there is a time limit on the version 2 beta but a quick e-mail to the developer should let you know if there is.

 

Correction, I meant "I am concerned about buying this again since Isso left"
In my communication with Waj, I can buy a registration and use the key with version 2.

 

Just to be accurate (as I can possibly be) Isso has not left as can be determined by the occasional post from him in this thread where he indicates as much. He is just no longer in charge and is spending at least part of his time on other projects.

 

The last post I can find from ISSO was on June 10. My gut feeling is you are exaggerating his involvement with AX64.
For whatever reason, I think he is about out of the AX64 picture and the existing programmers either have different priorities and lack the experience to advance this project.

 

Most of them will have full-time jobs I imagine...

 

It seems this thread and this program are on life support.
