Rollback RX v10.x (Home & Professional)

Not in any "production" way. It currently only exists, occasionally, on my main TEST system. I'm currently using Macrium's RAPID DATA RESTORE functionality for all my snapshot needs on my production systems.

 

So, any idèa as to why "shield tray" phones home or more importantly, can it be blocked in the Fw without causing problems with RBRX functionality.

 

yes,you can block and won't cause any problem.

 

Okey, thank you.
How do you know that, could you elaborate or maybe reveal your source of info.

 

it connects to the home 2 purpose:
A. check update.
B. check the register information from their genuine user database:
1. if can't connect to the home, let RB RX stay on the current status(registered or TRIAL)
2. if connect to the home, will check if the register serials bought from the official
a. if not bought from the official(using keygen by any cracker), turn the registered status to TRIAL.
b. if bought from the official, let RB RX stay on the registered status.
c. if current status is TRIAL, let it stay.

 

@TheRollbackFrog

Weren't you beta testing Drive Cloner Rx v6?
Is it 100% reliable on backuping up+restoring the RX snapshots ?

 

I was but the whole process (Beta testing) has dropped into an HDS Black Hole... We never really heard much from the Devs, there's little or no contact from anyone. Brian_K and I did a bunch of testing, reported our results... then NADA. It's probably the worst beta testing I've ever been part of.

When I last tested (single partition) it was working well (Legacy-MRB system). There were still some wrinkles to be worked on but then the Black Hole formed... No contact (Brian can comment on that)

They were actually gonna release this thing last January but it really wasn't ready for prime time at all... Now it's nine months later and still nothing yet. I have no idea where it is at the moment.

 

Hmm,it's on their web-site?

Download Drive Cloner Rx v6.0

Version: 6.0

Build: 2700575557

Last Updated: Sep 04, 2015

Odd they haven't updated the release notes for it, it's a MESS.

 

Strode,

Thanks for that info. I didn't know it had been released.

I think TRF is being too kind about the beta program. I recall no instructions on how to use the software, no feedback from the developers and no replies to my emails.

 

Not only that... it's being released without a single mention of RBrx compatibility. I think they released it without it... Very sad effort.

 

As a drive cloner it would rank among the most dangerous to use. I inadvertently wiped out a data partition. Fortunately I had a backup.

 

On benefits,it says...

UPDATE: Due to popular demand, we will be releasing a Windows 10 compatible build by mid-October, 2015. This is an in-build update and will be available for free for all 10.0 and above owners of RollBack Rx and/or Gold Support/Platinum Support users.

Thank you.

 

Out of interest I installed Rollback Rx and the above Drive Cloner in Win10. Restarts resulted in a BSOD each time. Restoring a Rollback snapshot and subsequent uninstalling Rollback made no difference. I still couldn't get into Windows. I restored an image made with a different app.

 

While I was googling about this, on some forum, someone suggested to leave Windows System Restore ON, prior to installing Rollback RX.
Then supposedly upon installing RX,it would ask you to disable windows system restore and it supposedly would work..
Some said it did not make a difference, some said it worked.

 

From the HDS website:
UPDATE: Due to popular demand, we will be releasing a Windows 10 compatible build by mid-October, 2015.

3 months earlier than they previously announced, isn't that something?

BTW did anyone take the time to give Drive Cloner 6 a serious test run? Froggie can you hear me?

Don't hold your breath!

 

Froggie answered this already,,,,,,see post 231 and 232 for the question and his ans.

It boggles my mind that anyone who has been following the various Rx and HDS discussions on this forum would consider using a HDS product. Even if DC works as HDS says it will how can any knowledgeable person support HDS in any way? Especially when there is a risk free (well 99% risk free as no product is 100% risk free) alternative in Macrium Relect V6 paid. Yes, it takes 2 min to do a restore which is indeed longer than "a successful" Rx restore and it takes a bit of setting up, but these are the only areas it does not beat the DC Rx combo. As for safety and reliability both the program and the company behind it beat the heck out of Rx, DC, and HDS.

So explain to me your interest in HDS products,,,,,why would anyone want to buy 2 products from a less than on the level company when one will do the job from a very on the level one?

 

Hey bgoodman,

I said it before on various occasions: Your relentless HDS bashing is getting a little old. What if someone (like me) does not like the company, but finds their products quite usable?

And no, Froggie did not answer this already. He was talking about his experiences with testing the beta version of DC6. But now we are talking about the stable (hopefully...) release version.

As to my relentless HDS bashing I think they deserve to be bashed (but I did not intend my post above to be a bash but rather a set up of my question which I have rephrased below to be clearer).
Now if you are knowledgeable and take steps to protect yourself thats fine but how can you trust the program(s) if you cannot trust the company?

Mostly I am asking for folks to tell me why they would trust, use, and pay for, a Rx+DC combo rather than buy a single program (MR6) that will do the job without question.

And now for a bash since I am in the mood,,,,,,,,

Truth in advertising is not a trivial affair. We have seen many who accepted HDSs claims for Rx and experienced catastrophic system failure and loss of data. This company does not deserve any support and anyone who uses their products, especially if they are aware of the significant deception perpetrated by the company on its clients and potential clients, is doing just that. IMO its like you saying I oppose the killing of small furry animals for the production of fur coats but that you have no problem wearing a fur coat because you find it useful to do so.

I respect your right to voice your opinion but resent your suggestion that I should not express mine.

 

Well, some call it rant, some may call it a warning to misinformed new users. These so called rants are not directed to those who have been using these programs for a while. You know what the risks are. I have read countless posts where new users were influenced by HDS misrepresentations causing them catastrophic disk failures (I was one of those 2X). We all know this is a problem and we all know HTS misrepresents the truth about these programs.

The HTS web page says this about DX5:
Drive Cloner Rx Version 5 integrates seamlessly with RollBack Rx V10 delivering a complete disaster recovery solution. Protecting you from ANY PC disaster.

No where does it say "except when used on the 2 most recent operating systems". I have brought this to their attention numerous times and they refuse to publish the truth.
Anyone buying their software should assume it will run on the current OS.

 

Then, you buy the original products (instead of buying the horizondatasys OEM versions) from PC Undo and you get support directly from the developer company support[at]eazsolution.com (instead of using an intermediate).

ps. plus they are much cheaper and they offer good discounts on upgrades.
