Hi Maxxy

Collated and Transferred from Thread "Suggestions for next cut???" (which I would suggest that you CLOSE to avoid confusion), as a little 'starter' for the OFFICIAL Wishlist Thread:

1. Add further and more flexible scheduling options. For example;

A. Allow a user defined interval that would fit between Hourly and Daily, so
that if required the user could define a snapshot every 2 or 3 or 4, etc.
hours.

B. Allow for the definition of MORE than 1 program type. Perhaps allow the
function to cater for up to 10?

2. What about some options to deal with potential MBR corruptions? Now, I
am not the sort to suggest that RB Rx would ever do such a thing but
could there not be an (i) option to save the MBr as it was before RB Rx
was installed and (ii) another one to recover/replace the MBR with the
saved version if and when there are issues?

3. Add 'Recover Files' & 'Snapshot Defragmenter' options when right clicking
the system tray icon.

- Offer a new switch under Program Settings\Program Appearance entitled
something like 'Advanced System Tray capable functions' with the option
of 'On' or 'Off'.

- If OFF the functions available when right clicking remain as they are now.

- If ON the two new fucntions suggested above in the post are added to
the list displayed, etc.

4. Further to the recent thread where the storing of snapshots over a bad
sector or the like is there any way for RB Rx to carry out checking of the
sector it is going to use and avoid using it if it is detected as being bad?

That sort of safe guard could provde very useful in terms of preventing
such events which are inveitably blamed on RB Rx...we only know about
this one due to the victim posting at this forum and I wonder how many
more may have suffered this occurrence and just written off RB Rx as a
result.

5. I believe that the interface needs an overhaul as I think that it looks
dated. The font is seriously old fashioned as are the GUI icons AND the
system tray icon.

6. From spalmer (and included because I suggested an addition to his original
idea):

- "Integration with Windows updates would be nice. The scenario I'm
envisioning would be that an auto-update is invoked and Rollback
would sense this and run a snap job prior to the update being
completed. This would give a nice restore point in the event that the
change causes problems."

To which I added that the Windows Update-related snapshot could be
made optional via a configuration setting in the Advanced settings
dialogue!

Hope that this helps?
