I’ll test it on Win 7 :slight_smile:

Installed with no problem on my Eee PC netbook. Going to get to my house and try it out with my laptop. So far so good!

Installed fine for me and seems to be working okay. I have a question since I never used it before. I made a snapshot and it said it only took 72MB. I then tested it by deleting a file from my documents and trying to recover it. The recovery worked. My question is; can you recover any file that was deleted since the last snapshot and if so, how is this possible from a file that only takes up 72mb?

I have not been following this project, so excuse the newb question, but how is this different than Windows built in system restore function. thanks!

Just for fun , I copied the theme file from CTM over to CIS and look ;D

Hi

The installation states that CTM can be installed on a single system or multi-boot system (for each system). In my case, I am running XP and Kubuntu (Linux). Can CTM be installed under this setup? (for Windows only). I also use a seperate boot loader (XOSL) for each of these OS’s. Will this be affected by the installation of CTM?

:slight_smile:

12

Thanks. Once this is released, I’ll suggest this to everyone I know.

Comodo Time machine is a must have.

13

Comodo Time Machine is the answer, period!

Please do not install CTM in such a configuration.Unless it is installed in ALL of the operating systems, it will not work proerly and mess the system when you boot with ubuntu.

15

You could always mount the snapshot as a virtual drive to recover the required file.

Alternatively, you can “protect” selected folders from changing back when you restore a earlier snapshot.

:wink: Familiarity is a wonderful thing. :wink:

Ewen :slight_smile:

16

i have a c:/ and a d:/ partition,how do i unprotect d:/?i just want to protect c:/ only.

17

AFAIK it only protects the boot volume. At least in the pre-release version I tested.

18

when i look in ctm it says c & d are protected?i dont see an option to unprotect it?i use rollback rx on my other pc and theres an option to select the partitions you want protected upon install,didnt see anything like that in ctm.

19

I was able to recover the file just from the snapshot without mounting it. Mounting drives is something I have never done and am totally unfamiliar with. Seeing as how I never have even had to use System restore, this whole Time Machine thing is new to me.

I uninstalled CTM from add/remove programs to see how that would go and it did uninstall but when it said I had to reboot, I also got a popup that the uninstaller was a dangerous app and had been shut down by Windows data execution prevention. Then Dr. Watson kicked in with the usual window that the uninstaller encountered a problem and needed to be shut down and the option to report the problem. I just clicked out of it and rebooted. I got a screen saying CTM was being uninstalled and then Windows booted up normally.

Everything was fine but I ran Auslogics registry cleaner and it found 35 invalid entries in what it called Firewall. The entries were all in the rules section for CIS and referred to the components of CTM. I let it remove the entries and all is well.

The DEP popup worries me though. I have never gotten one before.
