    Got a letter in snail mail today that Raxco had filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Upon going to their website discovered that it was indeed true. Enjoyed PerfectDisk years ago, and more recently InstantRecovery.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Unless I'm wrong. LOL. Years ago they traded their CD/DVD software business for PerfectDisk. At the time I thought that was very unwise.

    The late Peter2150 :'(and I swore by their FirstDefense-ISR for years, until we both discovered Macrium Reflect. I was puzzled why I received a notice in the mail that they were in Bankruptcy Court. Then I remembered, I have an extended support contract with them ... they owe me about $7-$8 :rolleyes:

    Their tech support, headed by Greg Hayes, was always exemplary.

    If you don't innovate with changing times... this is what happens.

    I had a lot of fun with FD-ISR over the years when I used it. It saved my neck a few times.
    Things change.

    Well thats a bummer.
    I'll continue to use Instant Recovery for now as it has always worked flawlessly.

    When I had my Custom Desktop setup [back in day] with Windows XP installed in 2007, it was brilliant to use, and saved my bacon many times. Another one bites the dust....

    Same here. Looks like SSDs put all of the defrag companies out of business.

    So sad to know that. I am still using Instant Recovery and was thinking to mail them about an issue.
