RollBack Rx V9 Defragging files. Is snapshot degfrag a complete alternative?

[nexstar]

Just some thoughts on this. I guess I'd probably set this up with a removable caddy and a second internal hard drive....maybe with two partitions.

The internal drive could be the general purpose/engineering system with RollBack installed to swap between the two. The second partition could contain the data which might need to be accessed by all three systems.

The caddy would have the CNC system on it which I'd be inclined not to install RB on at all. This is simply because, as you point out, anything which has the potential to delay a mission-critical real time operation could be bad news. No disrespect to RB but I doubt if it is designed with real-time operations in mind. Having said that, I'm not sure that Windows is either .

Anyway, with the above, it could be set up such that if the caddy was plugged in then it would boot from that and if it wasn't then it would boot to your other systems.

Feel free to disregard this .

Do you still have to contact Tech Support after doing a reinstall to get them to reset your activation?

Many thanks

I do not think so. As far as I am concerned I have uninstalled /reinstalled RVB RX at v8, v8.1 & v9 and have NEVER had to contact Support to reset the activation...but that may just be because I am lucky...

If you uninstall and re-install onto the same PC you should not have any issues whatsoever. Most 99% of the time you will not need to contact support to have your activation (PRODUCT ID) reset. However, if there is a change in your hard drive (replaced drive) - then RollBack Rx will not recognize the drive with your current PRODUCT ID. In this instance, you would need to have our support guys reset your PRODUCT ID. We do not mind doing this, if on the off chance your ID is not recognized with your PC setup.

If you do have this issue on the same PC with no changes to the configuration - could you please update us so that we can have it looked into by our dev team.

Thanks.

If you have the Windows based Defrag set on a Scheduled Task (Vista-64), will this be disabled automagically on an install of RX.

Or must/should you go in and disable any Defrag Schedule manually ???

Thanx...

You should go in and disbale manually. I am not awre that RB Rx will automatically any such thing set up.

It looks like an interesting product, and sounds better than Windows System Restore (which never worked for me anyway).

I have 3 drives, and would want to use Rollback Rx on the C drive only (OS). Am I right in thinking that I could use a 3rd party defragger to use on the other 2 drives only, excluding drive C, without any problems?

Thanks in advance.
