Hi,

Sorry, still I am not clear,

Someone, who can guide me ? I will PM him.....

 

Here is manual of FDISR
http://www.raxco.com/support/windows/fdisr/ISRHelp21.pdf
Save it on your computer somewhere under "My Documents" and (re-)read it.

 

FDISR is an Immediate System Recovery software, which means that you can recover your system partition in no time by rebooting your computer, which is of course much FASTER than restoring an image of your Image Backup software.
(If you don't have an Image Backup software, take care of this FIRST and then install FDISR)

In order to make that possible FDISR uses two SNAPSHOTS of the actual harddisk.
1. FDISR creates the primary snapshot during the installation = WORK snapshot for daily use.
2. You create the secondary snapshot immediately after the installation = ROLLBACK snapshot.
After that you ANCHOR the folder "My Documents" and you are ready.
Anchoring folders/files means that these objects are NOT included in all your snapshots, which also means that all snapshots share the same folder "My Documents" and not a copy of this folder.

In case something goes wrong in your WORK snapshot like trying a new software that doesn't like your system.
1. you reboot your computer
2. press the F1-key in the FDISR Splash Screen, which appears before Windows starts
3. you select/reboot in your ROLLBACK snapshot.
4. you copy/update from your ROLLBACK snapshot to your WORK snapshot, which restores the WORK snapshot.
5. you reboot in your WORK snapshot and you are back in business as nothing happened.

Each snapshot (minimum 2/maximum 10) is a copy of your system partition [C:] and you can change each snapshot individually at free will.
This is how FDISR works basically, but you still have to learn the rest.

You can't learn FDISR in one day, so start slow, learn and try something new every day and one day you will teach us how to use FDISR.

 

Hi, just installed, and have primary snapshot, I get an error on secondary, can not create??

UNABLE TO CREATE STATIC COPY OF ACTIVE SNAPSHOT

any ideas?

Thanks

 

nixie21,

Try this first and tell us if it worked or not.

If that didn't work, try this :

Click on Start-button and Run...

Type these two commands

cd \$ISR\$APP\Setup (hit enter)

ISRSetup -install -rss (or -vss) (hit enter)

re-boot

Try again.

 

I tried the 2nd thing last night before bed, still did not work. I will uninstall/reinstall later when I get home and post back the results.

Thanks

 

Yes, I used the cd

Also to make sure it worked, how long should the install take since it creates the primary snapshot?

 

Well full uninstall and reinstall, same problem:
03/22/07 19:23 0010 FirstDefense-ISR Service [Server Version 3.10.173] started
