    Only been using this app for a few days. I've installed it, made a snapshot of my base system and then frozen the snapshot. I've then gone ahead and modified my system a bit but when i do a normal windows restart fd-isr loads my frozen snapshot again and i lose my modifications. Is this normal behaviour? How can i stop it doing this? Thanks for any help!

    First of all, I hope you have at least a second snapshot, otherwise FDISR is useless. Using only ONE snapshot is the same as working without FDISR. You need MINIMUM two snapshots.
    You always need a snapshot as a haven of refuge, if something goes wrong in one of your other snapshots.
    After installation your second snapshot (created by YOU) acts like a ROLLBACK snapshot.
    You better start this way and you can improvise later, like most experienced FDISR-users do.
    A frozen snapshot is already such an improvisation and not recommended in the very beginning.
    A WORK snapshot and a ROLLBACK snapshot is the best way to LEARN FDISR gradually, the rest comes later.

    This is a normal behaviour, because you are using a FROZEN snapshot.

    If you still don't understand it, we will explain it again and again until you got it. :)

    Hi farmerlee

    I would leave the freeze function as the last thing. Get used to the general program workings first. I will probably be an easier learning curve this way.

    Ah i see, i was thinking the frozen snapshot was just like a backup image i could revert to if my system screwed up. Now i'm starting to see how fd-isr really works. Thanks for the help guys, i'm still totally amazed how awesome this software is!

    Do you know, it strikes me that if more people only knew what an amazing program this is, Peter and Erik would have to go full time working for Raxco...lol
    Really bless the day I found FDR anyway.

    What makes it so very useful (provided you have the space LoL), is you can build up your snapshots continually and then send them to ARCHIVES, as many as you can reserve space for in all sorts of storages. Need i say more?

    I favor the archive bit especially since you can Update/Copy to them and it writes the changes in record time, seconds! minutes at the most! and you're all set. Should something fudge a snapshot(s), turn to the archive and Update/Copy to snapshot and you're right back in business in the blink of an eye.

    Truly an amazing and long overdue innovation.
