Were you a GoBack addict before Rollback?

[Dallion]

I've been an advocate of Goback since version 1.
I'm currently still using it (version 4) on 2 of my 4 machines.
It has never let me down and has saved my skin more times than I can remember. However, it's far from perfect.

The comparison between Goback and Rollback given by Horizon Datasys is a little biased, unfair and occasionally untrue (as you might expect from promotional literature).

During normal use Goback does not take up more disk space than Rollback Rx. Quite the opposite in fact. You assign a buffer, and all history is kept within that space. This is typically 8GB. See how long it is before Rollback snapshots take you over that limit! I was up to 5GB after just three days.
Of course, this is also one of Goback's weaker points. When the buffer fills up, the history is recycled FIFO so you can only go back a week or two (depending on how often you use your PC).

Goback's worst failing is that it can sometimes stop recording changes altogether when it detects massive file activity. It does this without warning so after a carrying out a large installation you may find yourself unable to go back.

Goback's strongest good point is the log of all files that have been created, amended, or deleted which is accurate up to the second. Want to know what all that disk activity is? Look at the log.

I've been using the trial version of Rollback Rx and I think it could replace Goback, perhaps giving me even more confidence than Goback did.
But I'll miss that log of file changes!
