EAZ-FIX and Rollback Rx vulnerabilities

Peter,

I have already informed you that I have tested v8.1. As a result of those tests, I have uninstalled it and I am out over $170 for three licenses. I have already wasted too much time and money on testing this software and, now, bantering with you. I am now happily using Raxco's First Defense-ISR and StorageCraft's ShadowProtect.

How do you know that my posts were not helpful to anyone? Are you the Forum God? Your scolding of me is not helpful to anyone either, therefore, I am dropping the subject and will not reply to your baiting or scolding anymore. I will continue to post as I see fit within the Forum rules, and if you don't like it....... lump it!

Happy New Year,

Silver

 

I did use the Trial period....dude. It did not crash during that time.

 

Not wishing to disrupt the seasonal warmth of this thread but, you have again stated that you are out of pocket for RB licences. However, on the HDS forum on the 8th September 2007, Nick from HDS said:

The following day you wrote in part of your response:

If HDS failed to reimburse you then it should be made known that they are not to be trusted to honour their promises. If, however, you chose not to take them up on the offer then your loss is obviously not of their doing.

Could you clarify what actually took place for the benefit of anyone who might buy the software and have concerns as to the credibility of HDS and how they might support them should they run into trouble?

Graham

(Apologies in advance for the OT post but it does sort of relate to the thread title. All baiting and scolding dutifully accepted . )

Oh....and a Happy New Year to all .

 

Anyway.. Whatever today I wanted to try something but needed to uninstall ESS before I did, but it wouldnt uninstall (another story in another post.. find it if you wish ) so in the end i rolled back to a previous snapshot, and installed what I wanted to try, inadvertantly forgetting I had no AV installed on the earlier snap, and Some creepy crawlies infested my PC Not only that, the program I wanted to try I didnt like anyway, so quick as a FLASHH!!!! well 30 seconds anyway I again rolled back to the previous, and deleted the snapshot containing the creepy crawlies And now back as good as New

 

Peter, could you pls elaborate what particular features you have in mind? My EF works smoothly so far and even though I tried FD-ISR on another machine I didn't find it as flexible as EF/RB. But perhaps it's a question of reliability, or am I missing something somewhere?

 

I'm a long time ATI user and still prefer it to EF's built-in imaging feature. And I can successfully image all my current system from within Windows and next restore it in full with a bootable CD without any problems, including the MBR. But I never felt any drawback arising from the way I do it short of being able to image all EF/RB's snapshots, which I do not need. So I do not fully understand the advantage of preferring FD-ISR. Maybe it's because my system has no problem with ATI's Linux recovery CD...

 

Well, after turning up my nose at RollbackRx due to it's ruining my normal data, i actually have not experienced any problems (yet) with EAZ-FIX, although my understanding is it's a Rollback Clone of sorts.

At any rate, i've done quite some jockying around of settings/files/programs at EAZ-FIX, and it's gave me no indications at all of even the slightest of problems. Only one, and that was my own routine of running RESTORATION that EAZ-FIX let fill up the entire drive. I quickly deleted that snapshot and reverted to baseline, starting over again, and so far everything is just peachy.

I do have a question, the .ebi EAZ-FIX snapshot backup image. Is this image safe to burn to DVD and then restore? Plus are they explorable at all?

If it continues to run flawlessly as it's done now for a few weeks, i'll be satisfied that at least this one is reliable/safe enough to keep.

The snapshots are incredibly quick to take, even explorable, moveable and so forth.

 

EASTER, sorry I can't answer the question you post but if you don't receive an answer try their support.
Has been outstanding. Have received answers in an hour or less and replies to their answers with questions even faster.
Been using EAZ-FIX myself for several months and has been flawless and their prices are more reasonable then their competitors.

 

Hi danny9, thanks for your remarks.

I was impressed with RollbackRx when i first tried it untill it went beserk and cancelled everything that took days to build up, that was the end of that, plus it had REAL issues not just one user like myself.

On the otherhand, i find EAZ-FIX worlds apart from it even though it's supposed to be built on the same framework/features, but i can say with some degree of confidence now that EAZ-FIX is performed flawless here too.

I've taken it to task without trying to deliberately cripple it, and it's holding it's own great, and is give me renewed confidence in this BASELINE type ISR.

I demand programs of this nature to afford users the freedom to not just recover automatically but open up ALL PROGRAMS/FILES from the snapshots for total access, and this one delivers just that.

I'll mosey on over there and pick up some tips.
