    For cold imaging, yes. They don't for hot imaging. I assume that is what this is all about. I don't work for them and again, I don't care for that feature so I didn't sniff deeper into it.

    All imaging programs including Drive Clone, allow for HOT imaging and include only the current snapshot of Rollback Rx.

    Only Image For Windows (IFW) while doing HOT imaging based on the settings:

    1. Include only the current snapshot of Rollback Rx.
    2. Include all the snapshots of Rollback Rx.
    3. Include only the baseline snapshot of Rollback Rx.

    Even the link you posted says there is no plan to combine Rollback Rx and Drive Cloner Rx.

    Doesn't your Macruim Reflect capture your current snapshot of Rollback Rx while doing HOT imaging.

    Best regards,

    I believe what was promised that Drive Cloner Rx will all snapshots of Rollback Rx, while doing HOT imaging.

    For this to happen we have to hold our breath till Kingdom Come.

    The post clearly says snapshots. Plural. All snapshots included in the hot imaging process. Not just the current image.

    I have no idea what you're trying to drag me into. That is what they promised in the post. That's all.

    Yes, and they didn't keep their promise. This was the biggest thingy they promised two years ago, which Cruise mentioned and which you also wrote on their forum about that time.

    However, Image For Windows already captures all snapshots (plural) while doing HOT imaging, kudos to Froggie.

    I do remember reading somewhere that the next version of Drive Cloner which completes this circle isn't far behind. However, it is clear that this is not something RBX can provide alone. This integration which people here seem to think that it is RBX with an imaging system was never promised.

    But I did read that IFW works well with snapshots. Not that I really care, though.

    The owner (developer) of Drive Cloner Rx is a member on the forum. He also sells this program under his own name and a baby program called 1-Clk Restore, which I bought from him for $10. He is a gentleman and allows this program to be used on all computes in your home.

    HDS was selling the same program for $300 until v9, marketed as Rollback Rx Server.

    I don't know if you've seen my posts in the AXTM thread, but I am more than willing to try new solutions. I don't have my soul sold to RBX. It's just a tool and if there's a better one out there, I'll try it. Don't think of me as an RBX apologist.

    I'm pissed right now that gold members are being ignored. And I canceled the auto-renewal after last week.

    No, never. And, I saw your post in AXTM and I liked. Plus, I like you very much.

    I am too much disappointed with HDS and with those moonies who drool over HDS.

    Just to clear one point. The feature that was promised that Drive Cloner Rx will capture all snapshot of Rollback Rx, has nothing to do with Rollback Rx. Thus, my comments, that Rollback Rx will not contain this until Kingdom Come.

    However, HDS gave people the impressions:

    1. This feature has to do with Rollback Rx.
    2. Both Rollback Rx and Drive Cloner Rx will be integrated and will become one software, as they were in v8.

    However, personally knowing the owner (developer) of Drive Cloner Rx, I have no doubt, that he will accomplish soon capturing all the snapshots of Rollback Rx while imaging in Drive Cloner Rx.

    Best regards,

    What procedure did you have to take to cancel your gold auto-renewal? Thanks in advance. :)

    I saved my receipt and it had a link at the bottom to cancel the auto-renewal. I clicked on it and followed the screen.

    Looks exactly the bleedin' same to me, I thought they might have smaller snaps, as some can be quite large if you snap after updates ect.. not even a new GUI I doubt there's anything new about it at all except it's called v10 instead of v9. Shady set of characters those support people too :cautious:

    Look at this: I had volmgr errors spamming the event viewer (as well as something that reduces my pagefile).

    http://horizondatasys-forum.com/rollback-rx/21669-volmgr-errors.html

    The only reply i got, is from another poster. You 'd think "it's a new problem, they 're trying to figure it out". Nope... 3 years ago, volmgr errors:


    http://horizondatasys-forum.com/rollback-rx/642-rollback-win7x64.html

    Why don't they fix such recurring error? Is it so hard to spot? No, all you have to do is open the event viewer. I guess cause they can come up with v10.2 and say in changelog "fixed volmgr errors", so "why don't you upgrade, Fuzzfas?"


    After 3 frigging years, i m back at full circle, having the same error. Am i paying again for v10? Hell no... I am hoping an alternative will come up.

    M... in all the reading I've ever done on this subject, I've never gotten the impression that HDS would ever return to the v8 integration. That was never really an "integration"... it was nothing more than offering a FREE basic imaging solution (3rd party licensed) along with RBrx and a button/link to access it, and not one that did anything other than the current system state.

    I don't know this for a fact but I believe the next "integrated" version of Drive Cloner (soon to be released) will not be the same product as the 1-Click clone. I think there's way too much intellectual property to be shared in this endeavor to allow HDS to feel comfortable. The next DC product just may be something either new or "reconstructed" from scratch by HDS (or its Brazilian developers).

    Just a feeling, though...

    Hello aladdin......I have been having problems with support in getting my v10 activated. Not happy. 1-Clk looked interesting. Do you happen to know how it plays with SSD ?

    Nobody is talking about intergraion. Real all my posts, even the link provided by MarcP, which is 2 years old, and is saying there won't be integration.

    Why do they integrate when they are bleeding people. All imaging programs do current state, beside IFW. However, they took out Drive Cloner Rx from Rollback Rx v8, when they gave the upgrade to GOLD support to v9, they only gave Rollback Rx. Then they made people buy Drive Cloner Rx with yearly maintenance. So, people are pissed, especially those who have the yearly maintenance of v8. Bleeding people and nothing else.

    People are not dumb.


    I never said it will be integrated, read my posts carefully. What I said that, personally knowing the owner (developer) of Drive Cloner Rx, I have no doubt, that he will accomplish soon capturing all the snapshots of Rollback Rx while imaging in Drive Cloner Rx, like IFW while doing HOT imaging.

    Please read very carefully, all my posts.

    Best regards,

    Hi Rainmaker,

    1-Clk restore is a baby of Driver Cloner Rx, a baby imaging programs. What it does is:

    1. It is available as boot menu.
    2. The first snapshot is the complete image of the drive.
    3. Then further on, the snapshots are incremental images of the drive, which are faster.
    4. You can rollback to any snapshots.

    Here is the link for their free version.

    Seems worth a look. I wanted to install it on an SSd, but concerned. SSDs being what they are. Just don't know.

    Dear Rainwalker,

    Since 1-Clk is an imaging program and not a real snapshot program like Rollback Rx, therefore it doesn't matter if you have regular HDD or SSD.

    Use it without worrying about it.

    I'm intrigued by 1-Click Restore, but I don't want to hijack this thread... but I can't help asking... :)

    I really like Isso's AXTM product because it can restore while using Windows (even though you have to reboot after) and it only restores the difference so it is a very quick process. When you restore with 1-Clk Restore, does it restore the whole image or just the delta?

    I believe the delta. Why don't you download it and then compare with AXTM. Like this, we will better the AXTM.

    I will test it myself, but I am not able to install AXTM on any of my machines. And, I don't believe in testing in WMware or alike. I believe in real environment.

    Best regards,
