steven36 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 As pointed out by oliverjia and software182 its not backup software at all the best ones are like Acroins, and Terabyte . You would even be much better off using free ones like COMODO Backup or AOMEI Backupper Standard then a restore program to try to make backups Rollback Rx dont even qualify as a back up program .

freeforever03 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I installed the RePack version and it installed perfectly. I checked the license and it was activated. I created a backup and that worked as well. However, unlike previous versions, the new version will not let you do a full restore from a Backup created from Acronis 2014. Their are other quirks but I'm not finished testing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverjia Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You mean the new 2015 version does not compatible with the file format of ATIH 2014?

Ponting Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 RollBack Rx is good for testing software :) Use imaging software like IFW,Acronis,etc to backup your OS.Then play with RollBack Rx :lol:AX64TM is also a good option.You can also use Virtual Machines for testing Software :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the 2015 rescue media on a CD. that I made with the 2015 program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is little wonder that the Author of RollBack Rx, himself openly advises his Users to employ an alternative backup plan if using RollBack Rx.

I don't like to :pirate: Acronis,also it is not as fast as RollBack Rx when it comes to restores;using RollBack Rx just as a restore program.The key word is now being highlighted above - it is about being truly learned.A successful disaster-busting plan relies much more on reliability and integrity than on speed.A restore is only as good as the backup - try backing up your system to other hardware, using RollBack Rx.FWIW, those who are truly learned about Acronis use it without :pirate: it - without paying for it, either.
