    FarStone RestoreIT 7 doesn't like Dual Boot system, everytime i boot to my second Home XP and restart the PC: Restore IT says that windows has changed the snapshot files and needs to take a new System Snapshot and then creates a New Snapshot: doing so renders all you past created system snapshot to be deleted.
    i have four partitions and the rescue area is in F:\ untouching D:\ or E:\ : still this message popping up is a little to uncomforting.

    That aside the Rescue Area tends to be filled up quickly after 2 to 3 days without me taking any snapshots. Mine filled up to 80% up of 5000 MB within three days with only 2 snapshots.

    Restoring took 10 min in my Dual Core| 3 Ghz | 2 GB Ram | but the job was solid. Considering it does does sector by sector restore.

    Rollback does the same thing pretty quickly| 15/17 MB of memory running in the background, which on occasions make's the PC a little late to boot and get ready.

    On the whole i like the restore job, but not the messages it shows when i boot from the second partition.

    I would put more faith on Rollback| Drive Snapshot and Image for DOS and recently added to the list would be Clonezilla.
