I currently have FD-Rescue Lite and I would like to purchase "Raxco InstantRescue" to replace it on my Win 7 x64 system but unfortunately I missed out on the 30% promotion that Raxco had not too long ago. Does anyone know IF there are other similar promo/coupon codes available for this product or where I can get it for cheaper than retail? Thanks.
I know this offer was still valid a few days ago. You could always try the code I guess or even consider getting Instant Rcovery instead. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=358213
I am trying to download Instant Recovery from here: http://www.raxco.com/products/instantrecovery Before trying out the 15 day demo. However it has a new system of download, where one needs to give Name , Co Name , valid email id etc. Have anyone downloaded it, how do you download past these things.
Thank you for the link, i downloaded the patch version and installing it. I would decide later what to do with it. This is pretty much like FD - ISR, only with GPT Disk Support and other new things, but the basic or core function is still like FD-ISR.
It is more like ISR, can create archive (Import/Export Archive). Can support 10 Snapshot. Anchoring. Freezing. What more to say about that. Except the look has changed and support for modern pc.
You must have been looking at the Instant Recovery page. It has these features. Instant Rescue does not. Ah going back to your post you were trying to download Recovery. You just posted in the wrong thread here.
Yes, but that's where the similarity stops. I can take an image of a system with IR snapshot, using any standard imaging program and restore it and it's fine. All the files of the snapshot are known to windows. Rollback works beneath the file system and it writes snapshots to sectors on the drive, that only it's driver knows about. Windows doesn't see those snapshots at all. So the only way you can image is do an image that copies all the sectors of the drive. Just plain messy.
Good. If you have any questions fire away. Just would help if you switched to the Instant Recovery side of things.
Hi Zach You are going to have to look at the documentation. Also read a couple of threads in the Instant Recovery branch of the forum. But a couple of points. Each Ir snapshot is a full copy of your c: drive, so they can consume space fast. What I do is have one second stripped down snapshot to boot into and then use archives. Like I said if you aren't at all familiar with this software, you need to do a bit of reading
Okay, but it's premature to use scheduling. Do understand that IR isn't really a backup program and not intended to be used that way. It is really a recovery program. Just take the snapshot manually and play with the booting back and forth to learn the basics.
