hi.i suppose this program is similar to windows steady state.i tried using that but it seemed to clash with comodo time machine.does this act the same way.
@TheBuckbull i know steady state wouldnt work with time machine installed.its a pity because i want to keep time machine but steady state is a great program too.
@TheBuckbull well its working for now,,but it takes a lot of ram up to take snapshots.i have the baseline and one snapshot.i have it installed in case i cant boot windows up for some reason.its happened before.i updated a driver then windows wouldnt start.time machine might help if it happens again.
@TheBuckbull - Time Machine is known to crash computers if too may snapshots are kept - they must be reduced to 1 plus Baseline. In preference I would use Steady State on XP and Returnil on Vista / Win7 - but not using them together. Returnil is a better option as it uses less resources as does Steady State. Time Machine needs to be tweaked really to reduce the size of the snapshots which are not compressed so fill the drive quickly :-)
@MrArnold1972 - It is very similar to Steady State but works on Windows 7 which Steady State won't. It won't play well with Comodo Time Machine, use one or the other but not both - Time machine is good if used correctly and minimum snapshots kept plus baseline :-)
@cotojo1253 thank you for your reply cotojo.yes i found to my dismay that steady state doesnt work well with time machine but its all trial and error i suppose.ive decided to install steady state instead because its a neat little program and low on resources.just out of interest colin is it adviseable to format the d drive.im aware it has a recovery partition but i have my recovery disks set up in case.all the best and thank you.
@MrArnold1972 - Steady State works well, I have it on one of my machines and as with all programs it is very much trial and error as not all play well together and some react to different computer configurations. The D drive - recovery partition - I would not format as many recover discs are reliant on information stored in the recovery partition. Better to create a ghost image on another drive or partition and then format the recovery partition :-)

@MrArnold1972 - Cannot beat a good 'ghost image' - compressed to another partition or external drive, install boot disc and load clean image :-)
