Installation

 

In the default operating system, find and then run the Setup.exe file in the RollBack Rx folder, which may occur in one of three scenarios:

  • If a version of Rollback has installed, the uninstaller will be activated. (See the uninstall section later).

  • If the older version of Rollback has installed, the program will uninstall the unwanted component before installing the new version. (It is recommended because it will be faster than uninstall old version manually)

  • If the machine does not have Rollback, the process will be installed as follows:

1. First is the dialog box to select the program interface language, then click OK button.

This computer has a single boot of Windows O.S.

If the machine uses multiple operating systems in parallel select item 2

This computer has multiple boots of Windows O.S .; This is one of the O.S. I need to install the product.

Then click Next

8. Set passwords for Rollback. (Default not set). Click Next

9.Choose the protected partition: The default partition is the partition which operating system installed. Select Done, click Next

10. The setup options appear, if nothing changes, press Next again to start the installation.

Apparently, activate it to reboot.

With many operating systems, press the Finish button.

Usage

 

After the installation was successful, a base restore point (BaseLine) was created. It is an image of the current state of the machine at the installation of the program.

At that time, the system tray has lines, roughly as follows:

Total snapshots: 1 Last snapshot: 5/16/2017 10:26:22 AM

The first start of the day another snapshot (SnapShot) is automatically generated. This restore point is not locked (and can be deleted), and of course, users can create lockable restore points as well.

By default, Rollback only retains the restore points created in the last 7 days.

Also, by default, if the number of recovery pixels is 4 or more, Rollback automatically "defrags"

 

To help make Rollback work faster. (But there are many images that consume disk space, when the "image" that occurs can make the machine run smoothly.)
