COMODO Time Machine BETA Released!

I've used CTM since first beta and haven't had any problems except CPU usage problems (seems to be bug)

 

ok, btw im on Win7 32bit, so if anyone has experience with CTM on that, it wuld be good to know.

 

I use it on Win7 x64, and it works excellently.

 

thx for feedback, and anybody know an approximate timeframe wen they plan to release it out of beta (if they have even said anything)

 

Wel on the play pc, I now use this config

Made C the programs and OS partitiion, moved all temp files and desktop to another location D:\data, so C was as static as posisble

Active

-CTM (only tracks whether tracks are changed)
-LUA, with registry hack to run MSI files with runas
-SRP default deny user space (this is XP Pro SP3)
-Immunet (check only at install), checks through cloud so no local DB update
-using Chromeplus Sanbbox and privacy options

On demand
Autoruns (with save as and compare to check new arrivals if any)
Hitman Pro (also through cloud check)

This is rerally low CPU cycles or I/O spend on security

 

CTM running good for me. I haven't met with the nasty repeating chkdsk problem yet. Is there any way to exclude files/folders?

 

As far as I know not.

- option to exclude disk-partition
- option to synchronise folders

The best to keep your C -partition stable is to create a data partition

You can download Partition Wizzard, but uninstall CTM first (re-install afterwards)

With your data and your temp files (both windows/webbrowsers and other) on another partition your C-partition will be more static, so less work for CTM and smaller snapshots.

Setup an old ide drive with XP as a testbed for sandbox/vm aware rogue apps with CTM installed but can't seem to find an exclusion for the second partition which was there for my Win 7 64 bit install?

 

The second beta has it, it asks during install, after install this is shown

Note: I got Paragon working with CTM. You have to use Raw Partition backup with no compress. Then Paragon copies the partition sector by sector even unused space

 

A few people have stated they think that CTM is a "clone" of EZFix or Rollback Rx... or even that Comodo "bought" the code.

But it would not make any sense to "buy" the code and then give it away for free.

I wonder if the patent on the code expired and it became public domain and Comodo grabbed it and started massaging it.

Or... maybe the idea is to give it away so people get used to having it and rely on it, and THEN... start charging for it.

In any event.... as long as it's a give-away... I'll cetainly be happy to try it once it gets out of BETA.

So I wish to say "THANK YOU" to Comodo.

 

o very nice tip, thx a lot, this will be very useful, so use raw partition backup and dont compress the backup, but why does compression matter?

 

So relative to your "Note", how would you boot into the Paragon recovery system since your boot sequence is set to start with the snapshot software. This is assuming that isn't functional or you'd just be recovering to a snapshot. Hope this question makes sense!

 

@firzen

Because CTM stoes its snapshots on free disk space.

@ratchet

WHen you would need to recover your OS image, you need a paragon recovery CD.


@All

I got it working once (from baseline), when retried with a snapshot, CTM died in the indexing files stage. Surprisingly Paragon recognised that MBR was messed up and did a rebuild of the MBR and removed the CTM pre-boot OS loader. CTM did succesfully de-install afterwards. Checkdsk told me the file system was okay.

So next time I will first perform all possible emergency procedure scenarios before I tell I have got something working

 

That is quite alright! You.\'ve uncovered the fact that paragon CD will let you boot if the snapshot softwares can't recover from the problem!

 

I currently use Rollback Rx. I just updated to the new build and was surprised that I had to un-install it, as a ressult I had to delete all my snapshots.
Will Comodo Time Machine behave similar when installing a new build or will I be able to keep my snapshots?

 

Yes...

 

Thanks ambient_88...

 

i tried the latest beta, but it detected thet i have a linux partition and ctm "cant work with linux partitions"

what's this?
