Windows 10: Any feedback on this ROLLBACK Program?

I use Macrium Reflect, and I love it, works really well and does restore successfully each time.

However, I was considering something like RollBack because I reasoned it would take a lot quicker to do a quick restore?

And what you think about BackUpper? I think BackUpper free version does incremental backups/restores, but Macrium Reflect free doesn't?

I use Macrium. It takes me 6 minutes to backup or restore my C drive which is good enough for me. Before I used Windows to make a system images but that was not on SSD so much slower and not really comparable.

I know nothing about AOEMI Backuper I'm afraid. I'm sure it is OK.

I wouldn't trust incremental backups - I don't see the point. It is added complexity for no benefit.

If you are running more than one full backup a day then perhaps you should be thinking about another solution but less often than that it doesn't matter how fast it is. I backup probably once every week or two and restore more often than that but not generally every day.

Changed documents I back up every hour with File History. That is enough for me - I almost never restore them back in any case.

 

I agree with your reasoning lx07, so I have decided to stick with Macrium Reflect free and use that alone. It does everything I need *Smile

 

The so called roll back programs are pretty much the same with backup software. They just make "roll backup" looks easier to use, like Easeus system goback is just one of the features of Easeus todo backup. I'd suggest to use a backup software for system restore.

 

Free MR won't do incrementals but it will do differentials. The free version also can be run on a schedule. I know that $70 is a bit pricey for some folks but you can watch for 20-30% discount from time to time and you can usually always find a 10% discount coupon for it.

I'm using paid MR and do what's called a Grandfather-Father-Son rolling backup schedule. Every day at 4AM, I take an incremental, except on Saturdays, it's a differential and once a month it's a full backup. I retain the incrementals for 21 days and the differentials for 13 weeks - I haven't needed to delete any full backups yet. These all are taken via WiFi from my laptop to a desktop USB connected to my old XP desktop. The incrementals are automatically consolidated with the next day's incremental after 21 days age and the differentials are deleted automatically after 13 weeks.

Another good feature you pick up with the paid version are Rapid Delta Restores, where a restore is quite fast as it only restores sectors that have changed since that backup.

That's enough "rollback" like for me.
