  1. Failed Windows Update resulted in Windows backup commandeering my backup external drive folder

    Many of us lost faith in the Windows Update many, many moons ago...

  2. To What Restore Point Does System Restore Restore To?

    Pls understand that "delta restore" imaging Systems are not as fast as RBrx... but darn close when using modern SSDs. The few extra seconds don't bother me at all when using a fully Windows API-verified tool which RBrx surely is not. Unless you need the absolute fastest snapshot restoration on...

  3. To What Restore Point Does System Restore Restore To?

    I left RollbackRX in 2015 when the first "Delta Restore" imaging product became available... Macrium Reflect. Since then until very recently, REFLECT has always been my goto tool for snapshot restorations. With their Rapid Delta Restore feature, the time to return to a snapshot is only...

    ...and the current UpToDown FREE version is not the last FREE version, if is the current TRIAL version.

    I don't believe they post the link anymore... it's "ofishuly" out of support as of January 2024. Why would they post a link of an unsupported product?

  12. Best FREE Easy To use Backup & Recovery suggestions please.

    They did that with v6 long after it was out of support.

  13. Solved Macrium Reflect Free - Odd image size?

    Also, newer DATA may have been much more compressible.

  14. Windows 11 best backup and restore option including image creation

  15. Solved Macrium, Imaging the C-Drive
