COMODO Time Machine BETA Released!

Rollback RX comes up just before Windows boots up. If Windows stops working, you can revert to its last good state.

 

Same as CTM.
IMO - CTM is just a clone. I'm not complaining though - Awesome bit of tech that's free.

 

Well, well I am glad Comodo is to offer such a tool for free, but gold at everything they touch is a bit overrated when thinking of their Anti Virus

 

not correct
comodo anti virus it the newest of all anti virus out there and now...

u can check and see in some test been done for comodo av it got above 90% of detecting rate and cleaning !!
so if u consider it as a free avs (yes its free) it set him self in position no1 among the free anti virus out there , also he been past some paid one

 

Avira? Avast? AVG? Last time I checked these all were posting much better detection rates than Comodo in the "Free AV" category.

 

Comodo is not there yet with their antivirus software. It is improving by the day but the other vendors' products are just so much more mature than Comodo's; that is, a lot of work has been put to refine them.

 

So the final release is due by the end of the year?

Great work to Comodo, not seeing any major issues with this beta.

 

I'd have to disagree that CTM is just a RollbackRX clone.It's using that technology as a starting point otherwise Comodo would have just stuck a new GUI on the latest stable release.IMO by the time this product matures it'll go well beyond it's roots.

 

this phase can beover killed easily in 2 ways

1)avira+avg are castrated , check what free version offerfor example to spy's detection etc...

2) comodo offer CIS, which include firewall, hips, anti virus, not just a stand alone anti virus like avg+avire+avast offer

what ever test u check was regard to the FULL version

cheers

 

Well you did say it was no.1 in the free antivirus out there, you can't now throw in HIPS and firewalls as well! Plus, I'm pretty sure (from memory) that AVG and AVAST do include spyware detection, so they aren't 'castrated'. Anyway, I'm probably dragging this post off-topic so I'm going to stop now.

 

And Antivir too. No doubt the AV of CIS is still a child

 

Comodo Time Machine , according to Melih's comment, shares code with Ayrecovery. Which if i am not mistaken, uses and older version of Rollback/EAZ Fix.

The Comodo Time Machine is very cosy, but i got a warning message on installation, that it's not compatible with Shadow Defender , asking me to unistall it.

At the end, this plus the fact that i didn't like the EULA , made me go buy EAZ-fix 9 for 41 euros. Not very cheap, but it has no trouble with Shadow Defender (tried it), shows no incompatibility warning and i don't have to worry about EULAs, it can actually be activated completely offline (while i imagine Comodo will have the usual phone home activation when comes out stable).

 

Hi All

Just to put things in perspective ( and I know CTM is Beta) I cannot install it on my Win XP SP3 machine. I get an error message that says along the lines of "unsupported disk, CTM supports IDE\SATA and SCSI disks..." installation then fails. Others are reporting this on Comodos Website as I have

Given that this is not a truly new development but effectively licenced/purchased from the likes of AYRecovery/Horizon Rollback RX its astonishing that it does not work and follows the tradition of Comodo introducing software before its been fully vetted

Just my two pennyworth

If the version number labelling is common for all products, given that Ayrecovery is on version 6, while Rollback and EAZ Fix is on version 9, one understands that CTM (and Ayrecovery) are based on a much older version of Rollback and this is why it shows these problems.

I would be curious to see if you get the same message installing Rollback Rx or EAZ-Fix.

 

I think they put this warning just to avoid conflicts. It may actually work very well with SD, although you might not need SD with CTM.

 

If i remember correctly, the problem is that the installation was aborted when i had SD installed.

 

So I've been using AyRecovery since December and love it. Here is AyR white paper on using it with image software, and no I haven't tried it. For one thing I don't have an AyR CD. It's number 4!

install CTM first. Then install SD.

 

I thought about it, but i concluded that this didn't safeguard me from potential disaster from the moment that they are clear that they have incompatibility. It would only be an attempt to fool the installer, but that doesn't cure the base problem.

Besides, the privacy part of the EULA is something i can't swallow easily, so i bought EAZ Fix. No need to install CTM now... EAZ Fix is newer version for sure.

 

Regarding the error message about an unsupported disc;
I got that as well.

I temporarily disconnected an external USB hard drive and the install completed without further incident.

Following the installation of CTM, I reconnected the USB drive and all is well.

 

Well, I do have an external USB drive connected, but it is turned off. I still get the message. Seems this program does not support the drives that are in HP systems. That's going to be a LOT of systems not supported with this from Comodo. Too bad, I really wanted to try this software.

 

can someone explain me what means "compact" i CTM?

Can i defrag my protected disk by third party software for example by defraggler?

if no ,then how i can defrag my disk when using CTM

Thanx

 

I also got this message, but I checked and didn't have any USB things attached.
Solution: Safely remove hardware (Stop all USB devices and you're good to go )

 

AFAIK, with programs based on Rollback, you can't defrag anymore with "normal" defragmenters. You need to defrag, install the program and from that point on, use the built in defragmenter ONLY. Otherwise you risk corruption of the sectors registry that the program keeps and when you ll need to restore a point, it will fail.

I think the only method to defrag with 3rd party defragmenters is uninstall CTM, defrag, reinstall. Of course you will lose all your snapshots.

Can you try it after disconnecting the external?
