It always makes me laugh when people test things in VIRTUAL MACHINES and then BLAME the software for not working right, much as you have described. First off, it wasn’t designed to work that way.
Secondly, all these VIRUS testing people on YOUTUBE running test in VIRTUAL MACHINES, what they fail to mention is that the softwares they are testing are not designed to work IN FANTASY LAND, MEANING : LOOK : Don’t cry foul and give a software a bad review because it doesn’t work in TOYLAND/VIRTUAL BOX/VMWARE/ETC…….
I give this software a bad review last time it was offered because at the time I was using the latest version of Windows 10, and now I am using the latest UPDATE of Windows 10 and thus far it seems to work great!
I must say that it worked perfectly for me this time, and I used it with the PRE-OS OPTION also “WITHOUT USING A VIRTUAL MACHINE, I USED A REAL MACHINE”. It worked great.
It was very quick on backing things up, but I noticed that on restoring things it took a bit longer/Almost double the backup time. It was also a little bit confusing on what to select to do a complete hard drive backup considering there is a “SYSTEM BACKUP” and a “DRIVE BACKUP”, and the reason that is confusing is because the SYSTEM backup according to them just backs up the main partition, meaning the boot sectors are left alone, the “DRIVE BACKUP” backs up everything on the hard drive including the boot sectors and such. There should be one button saying “BACK IT ALL UP” of something like that in my opinion.
Even doing a “DRIVE BACKUP” with this software an then restoring things, there is one thing I really didn’t like most of all about this software, and that is the fact that it completely IGNORED the “WINDOWS RECOVERY Partition” and another boot partition that comes standard with Windows installations. So if you RE-INSTALL, you are left without the RECOVERY PARTITION and that other partition which I am assuming is designated to work with the recovery partition for WINDOWS RESTORE features.
This software has a lot of promise. They really need to change the HORRIBLE ICON they are using for this software, it’s horrible, it’s like an EVIL RUBIX CUBE Picture! Sometimes technical people spend so much time working on their software that they neglect the fine tuning things that brings awareness to their product. And that’s why I mean that.
The Ramdisk works great, although there should be more control over it : Meaning : Control whether it runs at STARTUP or not.
Either way, This is a REPLY/REVIEW comment/post.
It’s a much improved product. But it still leaves a lot to be desired.
