Third party app to use with DefenseWall

Agree. Also you can take into consideration to add image backup software to your list.

 

I am always a bit unsure about image backup. I store all my data on a separate partition, which is backed up to SugarSync. I can complete a re-install of Windows in under an hour I enjoy cleaning out the junk once in a while!

If I was going to run an image backup programme, which has no tray icon, no processes running in the background and no logos/interference at boot up........what would you recommend?

Does Comodo Time Machine meet the above requirements or Keriver 1CRP?

I am very very happy with Defensewall, so an image backup may be worth looking into

Thanks,

You defeinitely should take backups into account. If you hard drive will crash, no anti-malware protection can cope it.

 

Comodo Time Machine is not image backup application - it's ISR software like also Rollback Rx.

There are many imaging software worth attention, depends on you like free or paid version.

In my case I use ShadowProtect Desktop. Other members might give you a cheaper or even free Image Backup Software.

PS. From what I've heard Macrium is nice free alternative.

 

Thanks for the info!

I am definitely interested in FREE

I will have a look at Macrium to get me started...........

 

Are you on Windows 7?

you can use Windows Backup and Restore to create a system image.
it has no processes running in the background... or icon in the system tray

 

Yes Windows 7!

I installed Macrium Reflect Free and it is working very well.

I will take a look at the Windows alternative, it may be worth using as it is included so one less programme to have installed...........

Just an update to my last post............

I have decided to stay with Macrium Reflect Free. I have restored a backup and it worked perfectly - very quick and easy to do.

I have also used UNetbootin to create a USB Recovery for use with Macrium!

 

I'm glad to hear you sorted this out and Macrium meets your requirements
