Does this look familiar?

Good to know and thanks for the info. I'll be eagerly awaiting for GPT support.

 

Hi All,

I am currently using RollBack 9.1 on an XP SP3 system.

In looking for a replacement I have been reading this forum and the original FD-ISR forums.

I am very impressed with the re-released InstantRecovery. I have one question for now:

Currently I have for disk imaging: IFW, IFD, IFL. If I had IR installed and then did a disk image (cold--only used sectors) with IFL do I get all the IR Snapshots or just the active one?

In other words, if I restored that image would I have IR fully functional with all the Snapshots?

What about a hot image with IFW from within windows in the primary SS?

In each case assume Primary SS was active or the last active SS.

Question #2 (sorry, I said only one) are IR copies sector based or file based?

I am really excited about this software, but first want to understand it as best I can. I really like the archive to external HDD feature.

Thanks,

Bill

 

If you image your c:drive you will get the ENTIRE c:drive which will include all snapshots. If you restore the image, you get the entire c:drive back, all snapshots.

InstantRestore is strictly file based, not sector.

Enjoy,

Excellent and many thanks.

Personally i choose increased performance over FD archive space anyday.

I also missed the bandwagon.

But since we are talking about shadowdefender, First defense, and this new program by a well knon company that has and will be around for many years.

Can I ask a question?

Does anyone here use RestoreIT by Farstone here and if so what are your thoughts?

As some of you old timers know I have used shadowdefender, Microsofts user kit, sandboxie ect way in the past. Heck I have pretty much used everything except for Leapfrogs first defense.

I can tell you first hand Farstone's support is awesome too.

The new InstantRecovery is seated itself nicely right where we can focus specifically on only it.

Hello old friend EASTER

I agree and no other products should be included.

 

Perfectly. And thanks Pete. This is like a long awaited family reunion.

Welcome FD-IR!!!!

Hello controller my long missed bud. Great to see you right in the middle of this mix again after such an extended absence.

Did you ever dream we would possibly ever see this day again? A save from extinction!

 

Peter

so you are running AX64 alongside InstantRecovery then?

I guess I should have worded my post different by asking if anyone was using
InstantRecovery along side RestoreIT..

It's ok.. I will start a new thread... but in what section?

Bruce

 

Warning!!!!

In case this was not mentioned in this thread or some of you may have missed it on their site, there is a small issue with anyone running AppGuard you might want to look at. Has to do with trying to boot back to an archive shot and windows not booting along with remedy

Was looking over the program on their site and it looks good.
Looks like for a 10 gig snapshot you need an extra 20 gig on your hard drive.

BAck in the day weren't you using a antiexecutable along with First Defense?

Bruce

 

First: yes, isn't precious to have all the "old" folks back with the old reincarnated FDISR.

Stapp: yes, InstantRestore, as did FDISR, has Windows System Restore not being saved by default under the Tasks tab. I kept it that way but I always excluded the things that Pandlouk recommended. Those included ShadowCopy, Hibernate file, and paging file (I will have to search for that and edit this post). Excluding those really do seem to work.

controler's advice: Yes, beware of Appguard, that excellent program. Read the faq at Raxco. It is because of me that it was added to the faq but it was really Peter who figured out what the problem was, reported it to Raxco and saved them a ton of work.

EDIT: okay, go here https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=292736&highlight=hibernate , look at post number 7.
look for these exclusions:
shadow copies= *{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}
pagefile= pagefile.sys
hibernate file= hiberfil.sys

At least this has always worked for me for several years with both FD and now recently with IR (that is on a Win7 system).

 

Sorry about that, stapp, I've never seen those ever. Good luck.

Acadia

EDIT: Oops, sorry stapp, I thought you meant error messages.

 

I speak for msLadyWednesday as a first time forum communicator, although as I lack protocol.
As a reader to the voicing of Wilders, Easter, I believe you are subtle. Previous postings about " FirstDefense-ISR, a Raxco production," made a believer of my self, a purchase of FirstDefense-ISR, became easier choice to make and I made it so.
For my self, FirstDefense-ISR, was not available for usage at this time.
The question, "Is it imaginable at sometime in the near distant future, a change is going to be for a Windows 8 GPT disk?"
It is true, this first time is not 25 words or less and I imagine many are busy, so I thank you, all, for your reading time. Stay safe.

May, Heaven and earth look upon you, Always with a smile.

P.P.S Thank you Ms.S. as a person, within the People of Raxco, to whom also made a believer out of me.

 

wot?
did anyone understand a word she just said?

 

I'm not too sure the OP is sure.

But anyway Your Welcome OP and Welcome to the Forums.

If you indeed found FD-ISR much to your satisfaction before, you will most definitely enjoy RAXCO's newest introduction in the form of FD Instant Recovery.

Per the powers that be at Raxco's internal labs it's been mentioned that a GPT disk compatible version is actively in the plans.
