Comodo Time Machine (CTM) Alternative System Restore Software



Until recently, there used to be a great software program called ComodoTime Machine (CTM). Comodo Time Machine seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Windows to create backup points (called "snapshots"). Comodo Time Machine was the best replacement of Windows System Restore. It was the fastest and most reliable system restore software bar none!

In its heyday, Comodo Time Machine could take a new snapshot in less than 5 seconds. It used to rollback everything on the haddrive to any of hundreds of earlier available snapshots with a single ordinary reboot. It worked even if Windows failed to start up. You didn't even need to revert your entire system back to an earlier snapshot to recover files or folders. You could simply explore a snapshot like you would any other Windows folder and simply drag-and-drop any data onto your current desktop. But Comodo Time Machine didn't support Windows 7 or Windows 8. And unfortunately, it also doesn't seem to be available for download any more. So, I’ve been looking for software program similar to Comodo Time Machine.

It turns out that Comodo Time Machine was a rebrand of Horizon DataSys' RollBack Rx v8. A much improved version of RollBack Rx is actually available today which updates Comodo Time Machine to support Windows 7 and Windows 8 and multiple harddrives. In fact, Rollback v10.2 is the nearest thing to a Time Machine for PCs available today. But Rollback is much quicker and more comprehensive than Time Machine. You can use Rollback as a full reset to that exact point in time when that snapshot was taken in just a few seconds. You can roll backwards and forwards to any system snapshot! If you accidentally delete a file or if a file gets corrupted, RollBack Rx's real-time data protection will recover any version of any file at any time with a few quick clicks and totally eliminates the risk of data loss.

When you experience Incidental System Degradation slowing down your system, rolling back to an earlier snapshot is the fastest way to significantly improve and optimize your PC system performance. With regular use -- installing and uninstalling programs, adding and removing new drivers, moving data around, etc. -- over time you'll still find that your Windows installation taking a little longer to start up, run, perform tasks, and shut down. RollBack allows you to return to an earlier snapshot without losing any of the current changes you've made to your system.

Further, virus removal entails detecting and isolating known threats. Such programs generally require you to update your virus definitions almost every day, if not every hour. Many such anti-virus utilities fail to detect many common viruses, trojans, worms, etc. hidden in packaged files. And by the time they detect the security threats the infections may already have done their damage. So such internet security applications give a false sense of security. But with RollBack Rx you can simply return your system --- on a bit-for-bit basis -- back to how it was before any such file corruption occurred. In fact, many users have reported that RollBack Rx is able to completely recover from Cryptolocker and return your PC back to an earlier snapshot before this ransomware Troject ever appeared and then simply browse the infected snapshot to see if any files can be recovered. RollBack allows you to instantaneously recovery from virus attacks by simply rolling back with a single restart.
