Along with your files, it saves everything else, including data used in applications, the operating system, preferences and settings, patches, and more-all in one recoverable file. This method is used most often in enterprises with more complex infrastructure and massive volumes of data. It’s simple and straightforward, until you have multiple physical servers or virtual machines. This entails selecting which files and folders on your drive to save. There are two main methods of backing up your data: This copy can-and should-be saved in a separate location from your original data, so you can use it to restore systems in the event of data loss due to human error or corruption. I don't want to allow Win7 install to partition the drive because it will create the irritating hidden bitlocker partition as well.A backup is essentially a standalone copy of all your business and account information, including application data, back-office files, and product specifications. Has anyone had any experience using Rollback RX (or any similar snapshot software) with an SSD? Are there any issues I should be aware of?Īlso I would appreciate some clarification regarding partitioning on my new SSD. What worries me is that the NAND blocks on which the snapshots will be stored will obviously get used much less than the free ones and this could result in uneven NAND wear. The RX driver intercepts and re-directs writes addressed to blocks used by the snapshots. Rollback RX stores the snapshots on the drive's free space. I test a lot of software for clients so I will definitely be reverting to a clean state many times daily.

I won't be able to use CTM anymore as it doesn't support TRIM, so I was hoping of using Rollback RX which supports it. I'm building a new system in which my brand new SSD will reside as the boot drive.

I'm one of the lucky ones and CTM has been 100% stable on my system. I'm currently using Comodo Time Machine for software testing (as it allows reverting to a clean state upon rebooting), but it is also very problematic for many users.
