Question

Hello car_fal,

thanks for your answers.

Your understanding was right. I had to do this because my laptop has a strange heat-problem. Running in pure windows is not a problem, but when being in DOS-Mode it would run only few minutes. Also when doing some games in windows. I don't know what it is, the graphics-card perhaps. So I had to do the backup-stuff with my DOS-Mode Backup-program (BackMagic) from my Desktop.

(1a)
Uninstalling RollBackRx would remove my complete snapshots, wouldn't it? So after reinstalling it they are gone too. Right? B.t.w. can I backup the snapshots too? Manual says, they are installed not in a hidden drive, so are the RollBackRx-files are stored in a specific directory? So when doing my external backup (and I cannot use them anyway after an uninstall), I probably should exclude them from being backuped...

Instead of uninstall Rollback, couldn't I just redefine current state as new baseline? Wouldn't the files being seen from my external system not be the same as my current state? And if not, what what would be the difference? I really would appreciate this way, because (1) an external backup would go faster and (2) installing such difficile low-level tools like RollBack always come with some strange feelings... ;-)

(2) In the meantime I detected this exclude-files when doing a snapshot-rollback. So my idea was to just exclude an entire drive (e.g. D:\) from being restored. I tried it, but it was a little strange this did not work. But clicking on a subdir I could add this too the exclude-list.

Thanks,

M_R
