Default Is it possible for Rollback Rx to protect both Bootcamp and OSX Partitions on Mac?

I am wondering if the following is a workaround "trick" to get Rollback Rx to work correctly on a MAC (specifically, a MacBook Air 2011 with a SSD).

1. Install Boot Camp as usual.
2. After installing Windows, install Rollback Rx.
3. During setup of Rollback Rx, it will ask if you want to protect a PARTITION or the WHOLE DISK. Here, choose WHOLE DISK (not just the Boot Camp PARTITION).

If I follow this setup, and I later do a Rollback from the Console Screen (before Window loads), will this rollback BOTH the Boot Camp and Mactinosh PARTITIONS so that the "Mac" OSX will be "rolled back" as well? This is the behavior that I actually want (i.e., to use Rollback Rx to "indirectly" protect the OSX partition as well).

Is this possible?

Unfortunately, this won't work as RollBack has to be installed in the OS it is protecting and it doesn't run on OSX.

You would also need to be sure when running in OSX mode that no changes were made to the RollBack partition while it wasn't being protected or you could end up with an unbootable Windows .
