Aloha all.

I have been using GoBack since way before Symantec stole it. I like it, as

it simply rolls back my system and drives to before any unfortunate event or

virus, etc. Right now I have both GoBack and System Restore running. I

realize this is redundant, and wonder which is the better one to keep

running. I have hit points with Restore where it is unable to restore to a

point. never happened with GoBack.

Just curious on this. Any opinions?

Thanks.

Neither. Best insurance is using Acronis True Image, to make a system

backup on another HD.

Neither of those options will protect you against a hard drive crash, follow

Bill's suggestion.

That's a reasonable setup when you don't have imaging or backup software

to run. I used to use System REstore Points first for some problems and

if that didn't work then I'd use GoBack. It is not unusual to have

system restore points that won't work for one reason or another. I

never noticed any difference in that when I used GoBack along with them.

It's not redundant because System Restore only restores system files

where GoBack restores everything on the drive that has changed,

including non-system files (data). That's why it provides a file

recovery option after the rollback, in order to get back any data that

may not have existed then.

You do want to dispense with GoBack if you go to imaging software

though; they don't play nicely together.

Re: GoBack vs Restore

 

System Restore only restores System files while GoBack can restore all files

including non system programs and files that you created. GoBack has saved

my bacon on numerous occasions. I still have System Restore available and

use True Image to produce an image on my USB hard drive in case my internal

hard drive becomes unavailable. I also copy critical folders directly to my

USB hard drive. I backup Quicken that way and use OEQB to backup Outlook

Express data.

 

While GoBack is an excellent protective device it is important to read the

details about its operation. It is very "jealous" of any other program

trying to access your hard drive. If your hard drive becomes inaccessible

you must hit the space bar during initial bootup when the GoBack info

appears. Then you must elect to start your computer without GoBack. Then

insert your bootable disk or CD and now boot. By eliminating GoBack this

way your bootable disk can now access the hard drive that was previously

unavailable due to GoBack.

 

Any time I am about to load a new program or make a major change on my

computer I write down the exact time and date. Then if I find that new

change has caused a problem I use GoBack to totally return my computer back

to how it was at that time before I made the changetotally.

You have to disable GoBack in order to create a WORKING image with

True Image. If GoBack is not disabled, the image will be created, but

it will not work when you try to restore a disk. -- Howard

True. Often GoBack will also stop working and will lose restore points.

You don't need goback with imagine softwrae anyway. And your machine

will boot faster without all that GoBack data to read/write at every

boot.

Re: GoBack vs Restore

 

I agree with Howard. You can create your image with GoBack installed and

operating and then in Windows use the Backup Image Browser to recall

anything your stored using Drive Image. But if you lose the use of your

hard drive and want to boot directly to your Drive Image 7 (which I have) CD

you need to disable GoBack on initial boot, choose boot from CD and you can

really only use a backup made when GoBack had been disabled.

 

I have a large USB external drive. I periodically boot with GoBack disabled

to use Drive Image 7 to make a backup image I can access when booting

directly to my DI 7 CD. After that backup I usually reboot and enable

GoBack again to start its memory. I more frequently update my DI 7 image

with GoBack installed but I realize I can only access that data from a

normal hard drive bootup. I believe True Image would have the same

restrictions. You can review the 2 image systems at

Re: GoBack vs Restore

 

Well, I don't have any financial interest in GoBack and I've used both

GoBack and RollBack programs. I've used GoBack for about 8 years and have

never had it "stop working" or "lose restore points". Like I said, it is

only my first line of defense. System Restore; Drive Image; and manual

backups on a USB hard drive are all backups to that. I backup Quicken and

Outlook Express (using OEQB) to my external drive.

I see no differing operating speed with GoBack active or disabled. Maybe 15

seconds longer bootup which is a cheap price for the level of backup.

Re: GoBack vs Restore

 

That's not what I said. You need to disable GoBack in order to create

a usable image that can be used to repair a damaged hard drive. If

GoBack is not disabled when the inage is created, the restore process

will not work. You do not need to uninstall GoBack; you just need to

disable it using the GoBack options. Alsom note that disabling a

GoBack drive can take several hours if there has been a lot of recent

activity on the drive.

 

Also, GoBack provides a maximum of 8gb of space on a hard drive for an

Goback restore point. If you do something that loads a lot of data

onto the hard drive, such as downloading a large movie, GoBack will

lose its restore points because of excessive hard disk writes and

there will be nothing to restore. You will need to wait an

underterminate amount of time lasting several hours at which time

GoBack will start again and create NEW restore points.

 

The biggest offenders for destroying restore points are temp files

written to a drive under GoBack control when doing a DVD burn or copy.

That 8.5 gb dvd you are copying will destroy the GoBack restore point.

I recommend that you have a separate hard disk not under GoBack

control which can be configured for the temp files in Nero and the

like. Note that multiple partitions on the same drive do not work.

All partititions are on the same drive share the same GoBack

characteristics. - Howard

That's apparenlty not so in all cases. It wasn't in mine; no need to

kill GB to run Ghost.

 

It must be application dependent.
