Ok, so I have had only one issue with CTM and it did corrupt the system drive on my home PC, however, I was 'testing' the product and making many changes to the config, you know, "just to see what it would do." I wasn't surprised. At the same time, I used it on some of the test laptops at work and none of them had any issue. I think the main point is to make sure you have plenty of room on the drive and keep good backups. The latter is a best practice for ANY computer. I have to say I see WAY WAY too many people say they installed a program like this and 'lost everything.' Everything, but your backup'ed data, right???
I think CTM is the future of restore point system recovery, so I would be very disappointed to hear that development had ceased and/or the application was discontinued. I am VERY interested in incorporating it into Comodo Endpoint Security Manager. I know this idea is mentioned in the CESM documentation and literature.
From what I read on the forums, the CTM is not compatible with Comodo Disk Encryption either, which is fine... no worries about that. Time Machine would have much more value than Disk Encryption anyway... as far as I am concerned. I would only add disk encryption on laptops that are off-network anyway. A strong password and a retention policy (no corporate data on the laptop) would be a better use as well as hardware encrypted flash or hdd drives (ie. Apricorn Padlock) for data.
So, to sum it up. There is a significant niche in the market for CTM and I would like to see it developed further and definitely integrated in to CESM.
