    No. FirstDefense Rescue is a scaled down branch of First Defense ISR from Leapfrog software. They no longer market this product, although Leapfrog has indicated another partner will be picking things up in some fashion (at this point is not stated whether a scaled down "Rescue"-type variant is the target or if the "full" version will be available). See here.

    Comodo Time machine appears to be a customized branch of Rollback Rx/AyRecovery/EAZ-Fix (and there may be others). Details on each available via Google.

    From an operational point of view, my personal assessment is that the implementation strategy employed in First Defense is a lot more stable. The cost of that stability is slower operation. Depending on needs and usage style, that difference may render one more suitable than the other for a particular user.

    My experiences on raid 0:
    With a Nforce chipset it works great, but not with an AMD. CMT installs correctly but Windows crashes at booting when it loads the CMT driver.

    So, make a backup and just try it if it works for you.

    My son has a Compaq laptop with a hidden restore partition that is able to be accessed at bootup by pressing a function button. Would the installation of Time Machine have an adverse affect on the use of this restore partition if needed, especially if somehow Time Machine hosed the system?

    Thanks

    Just to let no misunderstandings occur: It works on a Nforce for AMD but not an AMD chipset like the AMD 780 etc.

    Really? Hmm... The 780 motherboards either with SB700,710, or 750 southbridge are known to have unstable AHCI support. Maybe you use AHCI? If yes, you could try setting the HD to IDE in BIOS.

    What are the risks of using Comodo Time Machine?
    BTW, i'm not using any raid or partition on my pc :D
    Want to try it, but reading all this "it can crash your pc" etc. Makes me think it can destroy my system xD

    When you know how to put your data in a seperate partition, re-locate al the temp files to an other partition, and how to exclude these in CTM, this is a nice program when it is stable (out of beta). When this sounds unfamiliar to you, go for an alternative solution.

    HI

    i switch from RB ver 8/9(2 years using it) to CTM beta 1 (when it was beta) and now i installed CTM RC for some days and i must admit it faster than any RB /EF in taking snap shot and 100% stable for me, also my working ground is faster than before.
    all credits goes to comodo for making such a great application which is TOTALLY FREE:thumb: :thumb:

    Wouldn't you turn off Windows System restore while using this program? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop.

    The three clones turn if off by default. Would assume CTM would also!

    The plan is to include it as an option in the version 4 installer.

    This application is getting better. I'd still love to see some form of imaging within CTM like Eaz-Fix. Being able to update the application and keep the snapshots in the new RC is definitely a benefit.

    The thing is there could be issues that'll damage your system so you need to realise that deploying it now is something of a gamble.If doing so make sure you have a good backup image first in case of problems.

    Not sure the RC Vs official release is the issue. You should search on Rollback and EAZ/Fix and read those threads to better understand this software. It doesn't play well for some users and you need to understand how it works.
