Maybe it's just me but I can't figure this one out. Is there a way to update a snapshot to keep it current, outside of a schedule, which I can't get to work either. Would really appreciate any help on this one. Dan
I know schedules are the worst part of FDISR, I've mentioned this many times at Wilders. Nobody really cared. AFAIK, a manual Copy/Update is the only alternative. Copy/Update FROM snapshot/archive TO (new)snapshot/(new)archive. A frozen snapshot is also based on an automatic invisible Copy/Update FROM archive TO snapshot. But a frozen snapshot is a total different world, than a normal snapshot. Maybe you can contact Raxco, to find other possible alternatives.
Just in case. The snapshot you are in is always current. You use the copy/update to make other snapshots the same as the one you are in Pete
Are you saying the current snapshot updates itself? Then by copying it makes the others up to date? If that's the case then the solution was easier then I thought. Guess I'm making things more complicated then they are. Thanks for the help. to you all!
Copy/update keeps EACH existing snapshot or archive up-to-date and those updatings are very fast, much faster than creating new snapshots or new archives.
Kudos! This program is not only a time saver for recovery but my goodness the endless arrangments you can make with the snapshots gives a user a whole new freedom of expression if you ask me. Great piece of work of it's kind, bar none.
Danny Think of iit this way. The snapshot, say the primary, you are in is your computer. It's always up to date because any changes you make are there. Just like any computer. Your secondary snapshot is "another computer". When you do a copy/update from your primary to your secondary snapshots you are making "both computer" identical. Pete
Got it. I was making it more complicated then it was. Getting to like this program though. I did try the Rollback rx with the instant snapshot. It did work well for me. But their games for getting a discount was a real turnoff. Someone here said it was a red flag, and it is. Just as well though, cause I came back to finish my trial and I'm glad I did. Alot more options and it does run alot lighter. I have 3 days left and will be buying in the next couple of days. And Kudos to the people here in this forum. All have been most helpful. Thanks, Dan
