Rollback rx

I mrhero,

If you go under settings/program settings/advanced settings, You should see different choice but I believe that if you tickle the box in front of : "remind me to run missed scheduled tasks" that should do the tricks...

Hope that helps,

I think he is asking if at the fixed time PC is off then what will happen?-- when he turns PC on after the fixed time is passed, will RollbackRx take the missed scheduled snapshot or not?

 

I personnally don't use schedule task so I can't see for certain but I beleive he will receive a screen indicating that a schedule snapshot have been missed, do you still want to take it now? or something like that...

 

Yes, absolutely this. Everyday I run my computer but sometimes 15 to 18, sometimes 16 to 24, 9 to 16, 23 to 4, bla bla bla. I want Rollback takes snapshot when my computers run in that day.

 

Mrhero maybe you could ask your question there : http://messenger.providesupport.com/messenger/horizondata.html?ps_s=5ght6dro1g86d&ps_mht=false
and come back with the answer

 

This is THEORY, not the real RB, but it's technically possible to do this.
When you turn on your computer RB can test if a snapshot of today is already taken or not.
1. If a snapshot is already taken, RB does nothing on each reboot during that day.
2. If a snapshot is not taken, RB takes a snapshot.
This is just a matter of programming.

The time has no roll in it anymore. It's a matter of snapshot taken or not taken.

 

I will suggest to try the same. I hope it will do the job.

 

By the way mrhero, you can configure the scheduled snapshot to be taken at every restart or daily with the remind me to run missed schedules tasks tickled in the advanced setting (wich seems to come back to what Erik described)... What else do you want?

 

"Remind missed schedules" enough for me. Thank you a lot.

 

Your welcome!

 

Yes, I purchased Rollback Rx using the 50% discount here in this forum. The company support for the product is outstanding in every respect. They even have live support. The product, in my opinion, is an absolute winner. I have successfully restored to a previous snapshot in about ninety seconds at various times when I had viruses, when boot files were missing, when I a got a message that boot volume was unmountable, etc. I have the program set to automatically take snapshots every hour & at restarts of the machine.

Having said that I was informed today by the company that they do not support servers or RAID setups. They did say that some customers have successfully used Rollback Rx in a RAID 0 configuration. I have been considering buying a second Raptor 74GB 10,000 rpm HDD, but to give you some idea how much I like Rollback, I won't go RAID if there is an issue in terms of compatability. Has anyone here in this forum successfully setup a RAID 0 with Rollback and is it reasonably easy to do?

Thanks much, guys.

 

No winner. It has bugs to be fixed. Still not reliable.

 

I tested Rollback Rx briefly a few weeks back on a RAID0 setup. Didn't do anything special to set it up. My recommendation would be to wait it out a bit though. I don't remember the specifics anymore, but it had several showstopper bugs that made me uninstall well before the trial expired. Whether those bugs were RAID related or general ones, I can't be sure. My penny's on "general" though.

 

I use RAID 0 with Rollback with no problems. The only thing that I know of that does not work is Disable direct disk IO in the program settings. Other than that everything is fine. I know some people have had problems with Rollback here which they are working on but still is working good for me. Except if you reset or power off during boot ups a few times.

Thanks,

Chris

 

I just tried Rollback rx standard with default settings, is it suppose to make the system more sluggish? Everything seems to be slower in loading with more HD grinding. Anybody use this with KAV6?

 

Little effect on bootup for me. HD grinding? NEVER!

 

Somebody please help If I run a Sweep with Webroot Spysweeper, it runs for about 5 minutes then my computer reboots. Sometimes it will bootback normally, but just now it booted to my desktop, after hanging on the welcome screen for 2 or 3 minutes, then to the desktop to a blank desktop with no icons or anything, just wallpaper. When the icons did finally appear, half my taskbar was missing, it looked like it had shrunk,and only half of it was visible. Then when I tried to click on Internet Explorer it opened and closed in a split second,and none of my other programs opened either Then a message on the desktop said Webroot SpySweeper Installer had been damaged and please reinstall the program. The Rollback taskbar icon was not there,and when i tried to open it via start/all programs it wouldnt open. Rebooting my computer only caused the same problems, and I had to uninstall Rollback by the Rollback bootscreen, then everything went back to normal the way it was before I installed Rollback. Whats happening ?
