Hi Myron, sorry you are, pretty fed up with GoBack right now and am thinking of SendBack<g>. I haven't had a crash to test system. Noticed tho it's crippled in that it only keeps 24 hrs. in memory. Guess when you BUY they send a Unlock key. Did you scroll back to the last Safety Safe Point, or go farther back in time? Just wondering. They claim it's not a cure all and will never take the place of a good Back Up.

Regards and have a Nice Week End, /jw

ps; Do you think an e-mail to support is in order before one buys?

How GoBack works and the theory behind it

GoBack works by adding a protective level between the operating system and your hard disk. GoBack tracks all the changes that are made to the disk. It contains special logic to avoid data loss in the event of a sudden crash or power loss. Because it is keeping track of all your changes made in the recent past, it can reconstruct your disk at virtually any point - a "safe point" - in the recent past.
Safe points are moments in time where your disk is idle for about ten seconds. GoBack allows you to return your disk to an earlier state (reverting) or view and/or recover specific files from the past (by referencing back to moments where your disk was idle). Using a portion of the disk to track recent changes, it is very likely that GoBack can restore your computer to working order or retrieve an otherwise lost file. This ability is provided without generally impacting your computer's performance.
